You are on my journey
I’m on your path
The way, it wanders but I can see
There is no more wrath.
Quiet acceptance
Honouring you, honouring me
Moving on into each our destinys.
I am on your path
You are on my road
We pass by smiling full with love
Wondering what life does hold.
Bide your time
I’ll let it be
A wondrous world spreading out
In front of thee.

I think
Think of things
Will they come true
Or will they fall into
An abyss so blue?
When I think like this
I may sometimes cringe
Or sometimes laugh
Cause sometimes
I think
Think of you at last.

May the sun shine bright
On the season
May joy and happiness
Be yours tonight.
May your heart be filled
With all things glorious
May you feel love
Tonight.

Keep me close
Keep me quiet
Silent sounds
Roar
Without saying
Anything profound.
Joyous words
Cannot speak
Heartache thumps
Echoing thoughts
Not uttered
Not to keep.
Surround me now
With love and joy
Embrace
My head, my heart
Let me go
To those that love.
Stay in touch
With loving souls
Sleeping in a bed
So soft
Never hearing another
Horrid thought.

Always asking why
Not knowing
Why I ask
Or just what
The reason is.
Looking round
I see
So much to be
Thankful for
For me.
Can’t understand
Why
Why I’m always
Wondering
Asking why.

Not
Knowing is nothing
Not
Hearing is something
Not
Feeling is everything.

Tenderness is such a wondrous thing
It brings us close and it brings us things
Best of all it brings us love.
Tenderness is a wondrous thing.

Kindness, tenderness
All of the day
Hold it close
Don’t let it slip away.
Your heart will thank you
Your soul will say
Kindness, tenderness
All of the day
Hold it close
Don’t let it slip away.

When I know
What to do
My heart
Will lead
My soul
Will show
My eyes
My ears
My hands
My feet.
This I know
