I want to walk beside you through the meadow
On a lovely spring day
I want to spend some time with you
And listen to what you have to say

Lean a little closer to me
As we watch flowers budding from the ground
Being in the kindness of the moment
When there's no one else around

Looking back over my shoulder
I see the sky is turning gray
And before the rain is upon us
I listen to what you have to say

Rays of sunshine and a rainbow
Magic has come out to play
Lean a little closer to me
As I listen to what you have to say

His eyes are a raging ocean
Cast out in the middle of night
Seas of surging blue and green
Searchlights casting over foam
Restlessly around the globe
Searching every shoreline
Yearning to find some peace
On past around every turn
Sought heralding in the night
Survive a more perilous flight
Seeking shelter and a new life
Torn by tentacles of war and strife
Searches at freedom’s front door
All lit up by a statue in a harbor
Holding a torch of light up high
Give me your tired and poor...
Yearning to breath free……...
If not for you….. than for who
….........………….if only for me

He once had the password W Legend
He would use it for a year
You see his heart was breaking how could he move on
The only way he could became clear

He had to be change it to something else
It kept reminding him of how he felt
About a girl he once knew
And every time he was on that dating site he began to feel so blue


No other girl stood a chance
For as soon as he typed W Legend
It only took a glance and he was right back at the start
So change it but W Legend was always written on his heart

Never mind what to say let your eyes do the talking
Never mind right or wrong
Let your eyes do the forgiving

Never mind once we were young and now we are getting old
Just look at me and let your eyes
Touch my soul

I'm no good at this I know and if I keep writing I'll never let you go
Is it wrong should I say so long
Let your eyes do the forgiving


Let your eyes read this love story and when you feel you could cry
Let your eyes do what no one really wants to do
Let your eyes surrender to goodbye

The lady is very lonely
Doesn't she feel the tears on her cheek
Too bad he left her somewhere on this lonely street

One of her high heels has broken so she walks on her bare feet
The rain has started falling and soon blue memories will be calling
As she walks on the sidewalks of this lonely street

She waves at a taxi he pulls to her side
The raindrops help her tears to hide
Now she's safe and warm sitting in the backseat

The taxi driver is thinking she don't remember me
It seems like a puff of smoke but it was long ago when she said
A taxi driver is all I'll ever be

It’s time to lay my head upon the pillow
Fearful of the dreams that will follow
Haunting me of times long past
Of memories of youth and love that did not last

Floating on the web of ancient dreams
Riding threads of hope and love it seems
Until I come upon the place that holds
Memories and fears waiting to unfold

I see you searching in a patch of distant mist
For something lost or something missed
I turn my head to hide my tears
Falling, failing through past years

I hear a silent whisper searching for my ear
Why did you leave me all alone my dear
I feel a hand wipe the tears upon my face
And I remember your fond embrace

With my heart in pieces I held you tight
I had to go I told you true that dark night
And through your tears you spoke to me
Come and please make love with me

With our hearts aflame with passion and desire
The stars in the sky like a thousand fires
We shared our young love so sure
Our youthful love so fierce and pure

Sweating, burning with desire waking to face another day
Leaking tears another day
Reminding me of the dreams last night
My heart in pieces is this my plight

It’s time again to lay my head upon the pillow
Fearful of the dreams that will follow
Haunting me of times long past
With memories of youth and love that did not last

Why was that girl always on my mind did I look like a fool oh my
For her I wrote a hundred love poems or more
It's a little late to apologize but I'm going to try
It's very hard to find the words I'm looking for


At last it has come to my attention and now I'm aware
Several years later I see
It was a one sided love affair
And how embarrassed she could be


I'll try to bring this to a close this time for sure
And if I could send a telegram to her door
It would read forgive me I have finally found a cure
So sorry it only took a hundred love poems or more

When you read the words I write
Do you think they're of my life
Or do you find they are just right
For what you felt in times of strife

Some people often say
Of the words I write each day
Words to try to comfort me
When the words were not of me

I write the words you read
About the world I do concede
Not the stories of just me
The words are yours for you to see

Do they speak to your painful past
Awakening memories not meant to last
Or do you think that they are mine
And you need to tell it will be fine

Read my words with open mind
And like a song that does remind
You of all those days gone by
All I ask of you is try

If my words do make you laugh or cry
I have done my job as I did try
To tell a tale that spoke to you
As only your close memories do

I often get sage advice
Trying to comfort me once or twice
I sigh because I do know
They are speaking to themselves I know

I will not stop writing that’s a deal
For I will put words for you to feel
Your joy or pain from yesteryear
Along with words that I hold dear

He's been sailing on a ship called the good front
For so long he's lost track of time
No one else on board all alone is he with no destination in mind

He kept a log of all his heartaches
Tis a secret of a girl he once knew
But on the good front every day the skies are blue

Yes the captain is well
And every night on the starboard side
He searches without fail

All the stars up above
Would there be one to guide him to love
The winds are calm so he waits to sail

Whenever he sails the good front ashore
People cheer with such flare
The captain is known by everyone as charming and debonair

Love lets the little kid in u come out & play

Grandmas are just
Antique little girls
They still love ribbons
Roses & pretty little things
But most of all they want their loved ones near them to share care
Hug hold
Snuggle kiss
Giggle laugh
And have quality
Moments, hours w you your time & love.
Share their stories
*my stories
They want quality time with you today, tomorrow, next week,
Birthdays w Betty's buttermilk cake, Valentines, Thanksgiving, Christmas,
They need to know you care & r willing to share.
They still need that warm teamwork feeling
Of togetherness in the kitchen, at the table
And in the living room
& anywhere your family events are meaningful
At the lake, bonfires
And oh yes yes yes
at the beach!
Family traditions memories are Wonderful!
They need your respect
For "Them" your elder.
But most of All
They need your time
To honor & adore one another by reciprocating Your Love
They just need want to be included, not forgotten, valued, respected,
Seen, Recognized, Acknowledged,
Appreciated
Admired adored

They need you on a
Regular basis to
share your world with them
Never devalued
Always appreciated
Never taken for granted
For one day
You will only be able to hear their silent voice
Remember their good
& keep their
Dear fragile memory
alive in your soul
Never to expire
No one can extinguish
The love they shared in your heart & soul!
It lives on
In love expressed
By family traditions in the kitchen around the table
Entertainment
Today & tonight!
And at special
Celebrations
Like birthdays,
Betty's buttermilk cake
Valentines
Thanksgiving
& Christmas
Melody Harmony
Peaceful memorable
Amazing times
Peace out!
Written just now custom
Sharing with You!

Love is a human need of expression
Time to compose maybe 2 plus hours
Brewing in my soul a long time
Today the teapot whistled loudly ...
Saying it's ripe
Ready to pick
Time to Listen Now!
The pot squealing profusely!
Type
Complete it
And it finally
Jelled all together
Yippie?
: )
