Hearing the words spoken
In love and respect
Makes my heart leap and regret
All the things that I’ve said.
Not believing the actions
The smiles
The love I did get.
Now
I know there was nothing pretend
All was truthful, out in the open
Love with no end.
I will embrace all that I have
Give back, be happy
Never again be sad.
For this that you’ve given me
I will embrace, love you forever
Knowing
It’s our chosen place.

Never, nothing to regret
Got only that which
I need to get
A heart cold, burdened down
Opens up and warms
With kindness shown around.
Never, nothing to regret
The world will come
Bringing all I can reach
And need to get
Sharing too
With those less fortunate.
A smile does it all
Believe
With never, nothing to regret
You’ll receive all you want
And need to get.

You hear me speak
You see me thirst
For knowledge unknown
Nothing
Nothing is rehearsed.
Then you leave
You make your way
You too must seek knowledge
In your own private life
Your way.

Another day, a new beginning
heart beats
the way is winning
the soul believes in life itself
knowing only you’re not alone
we all have a guiding light
a gentle voice whispering
words that’ll make us
winners winning.

Quietly, softly the breath intakes
Listening to the heart explodiate
Kaboom, kaboom.
The legs take their feet for a walk
While the arms hold close
Hands caressing the softness
Of love seen by the eyes
As the ears listen
To the quiet heart go
Kaboom, kaboom.
The cover of darkness
Has been rolled back
Slowly, so slowly light creeps
Into the day
Til the sun shines bright
Giving light, lighting each way
To everyone, everything
Each and everyday.

You gave me love
I gave back to thee
Love
Love unconditionally.
