Every morning I paint a face
The one I want to show
Moving thru the day
With beauty and with grace
I apply colours sometimes
In vibrant broad, happy strokes
Other times I can’t help
The lines are blue
They weep, they cry
Hues blended in a colour
That represents the reason why.
A smile I paint upon that face
Covering the worried lines
The anger
I hope not to find
Each morning I paint colours
To show love, beauty and grace
There on my face
With a special brush that covers all
The tired, frightened lines
I paint
Every morning I paint a face.

Hold me close, hold me tight
keep the light on
throughout
the darkest night.
Let no one say the words
that cut the heart
no matter
all its great might.
Keep me safe, keep me on
the path that’s right
then and only then my world will turn
and be alright.

Thinking
About the world today
About all the people who have
Died
Passed away.
Most not their fault
A virus
A plague raced thru
Taking
Their lives away.
Sadness
Not gladness
Is the atmosphere
In this
Our world today.

On the other side, sliding down
The slippery slope
Laughing, crying I turn round
I hope the way is clear
The path won’t steer me wrong
On the other side, sliding down.

You know I can’t tell you
The secret to your success
It’s hidden beneath, inside
Your very own chest
The secrets will hide
The truth not told
Til you accept
All you’ve been given
All you behold.

Remember when
Life was soft
And
Then the world burst
Spewing anger.
That is when
I fell from my heart
Landing in a den of angry giants
Eating,
Crunching hapless wrens
Cried in anger, feared for death.
That is when
I saw the world
Issue out some justice
My tears were dried, my heart soothed
And
I remembered when.

Seldom do you see
Different species fight
Like you, like me
Seldom

Remember when a laugh and smile
Were the only thing that made
The day’s itinerary song?
Remember when laughter
And carefree days lasted
All year long
The thought of winter didn’t
Come to mind
Didn’t come along.
Then there was when
A door opened up
And seriousness came along.
No smiles, no laughter
The whole day long
Winter winds blew
And the heart was frozen
In sadness
Crying was the only song.

I have been there
Seen everything
Held my breath
And
Tried not to scream.
Sadness mounts
Envelops me
Reason why
Evades
Not only me.
Maybe tomorrow
All will be ok
Til then
I’ll live thru
This troubling day.

I will come with you
I will walk at your side
together
we will face the heartache
and
come out the other side.
