Tortured And Sad

Tortured and sad 
struggle to understand 
the world in my world 
beyond the bad. 

See the goodness 
believe and be glad 
for tomorrow 
may be better 
nothing 
tortured nor sad.

I Know You Know The Truth

I know you know the truth
I know you’ve seen the way
Whatever happens
Happens in this day.

No ones’s at fault
No one to blame
Only glad the day has come
When we have the way.

The way to happiness
Living in explicit gladness
The way to save our souls
Each and every day.

Lost In Thoughts Of Blooms In Spring

Lost in thoughts of blooms in spring
Wishing, hoping soon will be spring
Not sad to let winter go
So glad to be getting pass the cold.

The blooms in spring are what
I’m waiting, wishing for
While here, in the depths
Of frigid, winter cold and snow.

Good News Glad

Good news glad
Right there with
Bad news sad
Doesn’t matter cause
It’s the news you have.

Read it, write it
Say it loud
Bad news sad and
Good news glad.

Spread the word
Take it where you have
Good news glad along
With bad news sad.

That’s right
That’s all
That’s all
You have.

Sorrow Manifests

 

Sorrow manifests
Deep within of me
No reason
Just fatality
Slowly rising up
Overwhelming me.

Sorrow
Sadness here
Deep within of me.

Treasure happy
Treasure gladness
See and be
For sadness
Sorrow will fill the glad
If you let it be.

Tinkle of laughter
Skipping
Down the path of destiny
Filling hearts with joy
And all necessities.

Sadness in the gutter
Sorrow no part of me
Let it be.

No sadness
No sorrow manifests
Only happiness
There
Deep within of me.

Remember When

Remember when the time was sad
Remember when even so I was glad
Remember when the world was wrong
And I was not very strong.

Remember when the song I sang
Heralded not much of anything
Remember now the good, the bad
Remember not to be so sad
But stay forever very, very glad.

Remember when your life
Unfolded the only way it could
Remember when it was told
The way you should remember.

Remember when time was sad
Remember when you were glad
Remember all this life you had
Remember.
