My Thoughts

Won’t go back 

My thoughts were right 
the
first time. 

Don’t second guess those thoughts 
let them flow 
Telling you
all 
all you need to know. 

They know 

They are connected 
to
the universe 
and
there all thoughts
they
freely flow.

I Need To Know

I can’t keep you happy
I can’t let you go
No one can say the things
I need to know.

Bow my head in anguish
Raise it in joy
Move forward, telling
No one where or what
I need to know.

I Will Tell You When

I will tell you when
I need to know
All the things that didn’t show
The world in it’s best light
Lived, lost
Wandered in the night.

Now my soul doesn’t like
To be left alone
Holding tight to a time
When love was free
Joyous, happy
All of these.

I will live on in life
Munster much, avoid most strife
Come to be the answer
I need to know
The answer I’ll tell you then
When I know.

Wonder Why

Wonder why is the question I need to know
Now, before I die please show
See the happiness, see the sadness
Wonder, wonder why?

Beauty surrounds, beauty and glory
Making my life a beautiful story
Questions still there, still asking
Wondering, wondering why?

That seems to be the way
That seems to be the making of a life
But can’t help wondering, can’t help saying
I wonder, wonder why?

Tell Me Something

Tell me something
I don’t know
Open up my heart
Let my soul know.

Don’t go down
The street of hurt and anger
Or God forbid
We don’t know the answer.

Tell me something
Tell me something
I need
I need to know.
