Between Safe and The Dream

There is no dream too big for her,

Though she still clings in fear
To that which she has known as safe
For many a long year.
 
Yet still, she’s starting to reach out
To all she longs to see
And someday she’ll let go and leap,
Reaching for what may be!

Last Ones Standing

Last ones standing at the end of the world

Around their feet the darkness lies curled
The mists of eternity, grey and whorled,
Slowly devour the last of the world

Lost Dreams

She had such dreams when she was young,

The things she planned to do,
But now those dreams are fading fast.
Her life is nearly through.
 
There, cast aside, forgotten, lost,
She weeps for what was not.
There’s nothing she can cling to now,
But dreams that she forgot.

Hungry Hummers

A Little Prayer

Then, in his joy, he paused to pray
And thank The Lord for this sweet day,
For all the blessings sent his way;
Like the soft breeze on which to play,
The blossoms where the nectar lay,
And someplace safe to hide away.
For all those things, he paused to pray,
Then flew off to enjoy the day!

Sunshine In My Heart

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However grim the day may be;

There’s sunshine in my heart.
No sorrow shadows life for me,
There’s sunshine in my heart.
The squalls of life pass more quickly;
There’s sunshine in my heart.
And joy returns to set me free;
There’s sunshine in my heart.
 
You ask me how such joy can be,
As my world falls apart,
And I tell you, hurt heals quickly
With sunshine in your heart.
