A Prayer ...

I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word!

I didn't ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind).
I asked him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!

I asked that He be near you
At the start of each new day;
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way!

I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small.
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all!

It Is Like This...

That I ask my God
What is my tragic destiny..?

If I go round this whole world
Stung with this bitter pain?
That I cannot kill
Not even with a thousand bottles of wine
It is like this...

Expecting to see them again
In the clouds of glory
Seeking their light
That shines eternal...

And…that I…crying
Tears of diamonds
Embraced so deep
By this love so strong
So unique..
That glows inside me like a red hot fire...

That does not…cannot… turn me lose
From this terrible sadness
So very dispirited and empty..
That stalks my every breath…always
It is like this...

That I live my life..
With this heavy, sorrowful pain
Of and absent, faraway lover
Since the day they left
They, the much adored..
When they flew high… into the sky
Beneath the wee wings..
Of two tiny ascending angles...

dreams ...

Where the mountains touch the sky
Where poets DREAM, where eagles fly

A secret place above the crowds
Just beneath marshmallow clouds

Lift your eyes to a snowy peak
And see the soon- to- be we seek

Whisper DREAMS and let them rise
To the mountains old and wise

Climbers climb, it's time to try
Where the mountains touch the sky

Take me there. Oh take me now
Someway, Someday, Somewhere, Somehow

Where the ocean meets the sky
Where mermaid dance and seagulls fly

A place in DREAMS I know so well
The sea inside a single shell

Far across the living sea
A pale blue possibility

Beyond the castles made of sand
Tomorrow in a small child's hand

Only DREAMERS need apply
Where the ocean meets the sky

Take me there. Oh take me now
Someway, Someday, Somewhere, Somehow

Where the forests reach the sky
Men are equal and doves still fly

No thorns of war, a perfect rose
This is where the green grass grows

Out beyond the crystal stream
Like Dr. King I have a DREAM

Imagine such a goal in sight
For red and yellow, black and white

Whisper now, let the DREAM begin
It's time to trust the truth within

This is where we seek and find
A gift in being colorblind

Dream on Dreamers, hopes are high
Where the forests reach the sky

Take me there. Oh take me now
Someway, Someday, Somewhere, Somehow

Now, listen close, the future calls
"Build your bridges and tear down walls! "

For time has taught and so it seems
Realities are born of ..dreams..

if ever you knew ..
