Oh Teddy Bear Green what have you seen?
The ups and downs, the lows, the highs.

Oh Teddy Bear Green what has become
Of the love we knew when we were young?

Oh Teddy Bear Green I held you close
You held my heart.

Oh Teddy Bear Green my secrets told
To your listening ways
Not a peep was said no trust betrayed.

Oh Teddy Bear Green
When I fell you cushioned me
When I feared you stood between.

Oh Teddy Bear Green you comforted me
When no one else seemed to care
You helped me, you’ve always been there.

Oh Teddy Bear Green have I become
The one you saw and guided me to be?

Oh Teddy Bear Green what secrets are kept
Beneath that loving Teddy Bear?

Sometimes I Write

Sometimes I write
Sometimes I let it ride.

The blue sky, the green
As far as can be seen
Gives me something
Sometimes.

So sometimes I write
And sometimes
Sometimes I just let it ride.

The Green Is Flourishing

 

The green is flourishing
Spreading across the land
Taking with it flowers
All so grand.

Deep down the valley
High above the hills
Into mountains once
Covered white with snow.

Beauty is breathtaking
Making me aware
Take nothing for granted
Nothing comes prepared.

All this happens
In spite of mortal cares
Beauty
This beautiful green
We share.

Land Of Green And Blue

Looking over
A land of green and blue
Hearing softly calling
The mighty loon.

Grey rock breaks the water
Landing place for seagulls
And resting for turtles too.

Lily pads holding high
A simpler but dramatic life
Here, in the land
Of green and blue.

White grey clouds drift slowly
Crows shrilly caw calling all to see
How one lives here
In a land of green and blue.

This is the life
This for me, me and you.
