Husk falls, dropping to the ground
Seeds of wonder spattered all around.
Dead or dying not necessarily their fate
Taking food, taking strength
From the earth, the ground on which
They were spat, they grow and create.
Slowly, quietly up to mighty trees
Strong and wondrous they unfold
Dropping seeds that too
Like magic wonder, grow.

Cherished deep within my arms
A love so true and so strong.
Held tightly never to let go
Held near but must let it grow.
Love is dear and that strong
Will survive even if it’s very wrong.
Cherished love does hold the key
To all that’s strong
Deep within my loving arms.

What a wonderful dream
I had last night
You were in it all focused
Happy and beautifully bright.
We walked
A wondrous road
As it curved pass forest
Strong with might.
You laughed
And held me tight
You held me
All thru the night.
What a wonderful dream
I had last night
I dreamed a dream of you
Last night.

Strong and loyal seeking in you tonight
Power and beauty found deep inside you alright
No matter the climate or beat of the heart
Magnificence reigns here and is part
Of all wonders found there in your heart.
What have you seen?
Who do you know?
Nothing it seems depends on this now
All that matters, transgresses or bestows
Is felt on the matter here before
Rising up welding courage and lo
Strong and loyal are still seeking below.

On the fifteenth you were gone
Gone to the afterlife and beyond.
Sweet and tender, strong and bold
Loyalty so much untold.
Gently sleeping away from me
Off into eternity
Love your strength
Sadness, missing oh so much
Never easy, never will forget
All the things when
You and I were young.
Love you dear. Love you strong
We will miss you now
Now that you have gone
To a place where we will meet
And play the game we remember sweet
For so long.
I love you dear. You are the one
Who sung a song of life
And made all fulfilled.
But alas
Its now the time
The missing has to start
Remember long
I love you with all my heart.

Fold the cards
Shuffle the deck
Hope for an outcome
That will be best
For what you need.
No one is whole
Everyone is strong
Just one amongst the throng
Of worldly beings trying
Here on earth
Not to be wrong.

Soft and gentle
Strong and hard
Much to learn
Lots to discard.
Be you patience
Kind and bright
For whatever
Comes tonight.

Let me be strong
Let me be me
Let me be the person
I should be.
Thankful and presence
In this my whole life
Carry on in spite
Of all strife.
I am grateful, honoured
And must try to be
The most best person
I ever could be.

You are here, I am here
Together we will be strong
In the face of all
We perceive as wrong.
We are here, we are strong
Let us stand
Before the mighty throng
And conquer
All we know is wrong.
I am here, you are here
Together we will be strong.

I am powerful
I am strong
What I do
Cannot be wrong.
I am beautiful
I am strong
In this you’ll see
I will be me.
