“Life Is Having The Courage To Grow”
Poems by
Judith Lynne Le Gras
Cover by Mary Anne Nikkel
The creation of this book was inspired with love, through love.
I dedicate my works to the world to which they belong.
A special thank-you to the guiding forces of my life;
you know who you are.
Thank-you Mom; I love you.
Jud
The Gift
From brashly youth
to years wore on
the young mans dream
is all but gone
The body struggles
to move along
the heart won't feel
the feet drag on
Spirit cracked
soul unbroken…
he sits up
he has woken
The mind a mirror
and so he sees
that youth is his
and will always be
A Moment Through Time
When the time came
for me to go
I was thrilled with memories
I now know
Time spent with you
will always be
and for this
I truly thank thee
Life for me
will never be the same
for there you were
and out I came
Thoughts, dreams
and wishes too
will always lead me
back to you
The Glory To Be
Movement is action
your goals are the way
the creation of something
when nothing does play
The juggler of notes
from body to soul
draw forth from the knowing
in total control
The silence runs deep
it guides from within
all thoughts serenade
emerge and begin
Believe in the power
which caresses the heart
manifest to beyond
what once was your start
The Cultured Man
With break of dawn
his day began
the power of passion
does move his mind
The earth reveals
his tender touch
down orchard fields
he loves so much
A seed was planted
one day to find
no other love
lived in his mind
To sow and reap
life's treasure bed
this patient man
does rest his head
The Gift Of A Friend
I sit by you
and count my blessing
your world of truth
in me now resting
Accepting self
displayed in ways
the spirit of soul
to lead my days
The growth surrounds
my simple being
to care for ways
your heart is seeing
No longer inclined
to reach and find
love breathes within
the heart of mind
Touch Of Hand
And so you ask
and I do write
the song which lives
in me tonight
I leave this day
a richer being
to thank-you both
for truly seeing
With open heart
your kindness spread
the fresh cut flowers
beside my bed
The garden tour
and dreams ahead
the raspberry jam
and homemade bread
The stories shared
from deep inside
a life of moments
the harvest of pride
And so you ask
and I do write
my grateful heart
does sing tonight
The Eyes Of Love
Take hold my hand
and see with your heart
one touches the other
all shadows depart
Believe in the magic
faith working through love
the promise unfolds
as told from above
Loving is touching
with hands of the heart
true brilliance and luster
the beauty to start
Bathe in the glory
the arms of delight
nuzzled in warmth
horizons of white
We're not so different
you and I
we think, we feel
we even cry
Hidden Passage
Echoes of passion
the whispering mind
a breath to the knowing
of greatness divine
Fresh and alive
beyond human wonder
to sense every fiber
with touches of thunder
Feel with your soul
through storms of the head
and trust in the way
the echoes have led
Dusk until dawn
love carries true
above and beyond
as lived by you
The Elegance Of Being
Your memory lives through
the mind of my heart
no matter the distance
we're never apart
The treasures I fondle
when I picture you
the warmth and the softness
in all that you do
To the moon and back
my measure of love
an endless circle
down then above
The little wise woman
whom I love so much
dwells forever within
the heart of touch
Something To Share
And with all love
the answers lay
true warmth of peace
to comfort your day
Cozy and safe
in the arms of prayer
remember when
no thoughts to care
To pains of heart
began to grow
emotional sadness
a gentle flow
confused by questions
the heart did race
forgetting that love
knew how to face
My loyal companion
was always there
the softness of love
was something to share
Go forth to find
and trust the way
within your heart
the answers lay
Moral Embrace
God's love is free
the great I am
emerge through fear
a heart which can
Have faith in self
and take a hand
to walk amongst
your common man
Love touched my life
so I touch you
with joy to live
a life that's true
I walk, I talk
a step I take
to live the life
the choice I make
Silence Of The Soul
With the touch of her hand
she caresses my soul
onto the path we wonder
in search of the way
To know that I am
all freedom of choice
to follow the light
as dawn has arose
With memory burns love
the mind stands still
secrets in flight
the silence of soul
To sit in silence
through pains of rapture
true faith of heart
your turning point
Listen
listen
listen to the silence
listen to your soul
Eternal Promise
Each year of my life
until it is through
I will plant a seed
in remembrance of you
My life to flourish
just like the tree
to live in ways
revealed to me
Each year I will harvest
my crop with love
in remembrance to you
giving thanks from above
Throughout The Day
Caressing souls
the spirit to fly
burdens to share
the faith is high
The power to trust
blows through the night
it falls within
a heart in flight
It's there to hold
and rest your head
to strengthen your soul
when it must be fed
When the earth does rock
love powers through
encouraging pride
to walk with you
With open arms
and head held high
love tugs at the heart
giving courage to try
Breath Of Heaven
Our story began
in the month of May
while trusting one voice
to lead the way
In the garden of life
we spend our days
learning how to care
in gentle ways
All training of passion
does echo the plans
to walk our path
with loving hands
Seeds were sown
during the month of May
nourished and blossomed
then sent their way
Reflections Beyond
Sacred sounds of nothing
brushed on a velvet sky
ascending warmth upon the flesh
to sense the reason why
Love energy in motion
pulled heartstrings of the soul
all giving is receiving
flaming embers long control
Everlasting kiss of kindness
caresses through the wake
meeting fragments of the glory
mirrors heaven for the take
Awaken
The heart knows life
and as it's seen
that life will be
that of the dream
Whatever the cost
step forth in trust
the journey of passion
a life that must
Clues are scattered
along the way
pick up the challenge
and begin to play
All men die
but do they live?
to taste the purpose
the dream does give
Fragrance Of Life
The glory of her world
burst forth caressing pride
integrity in motion
the softness of her stride
Mysterious world of mercy
all strength revealing praise
the gentle brush of angel wings
reflection of her days
The candle light does flicker
a marvelous display
the precious glow of kindness
shared vision to the way
Happiness made perfect
a being of that love
the burning warmth of wonder
true elegance in love
Magical Design
With time at hand
I plot my course
to ride upon
the golden horse
The directions to follow
within my heart
to know just how
and when to start
It came to me
in peaceful slumber
the results of thoughts
thinking, and wonder
My day to be
living out that plan
my actions reveal
to know I can
Calmness of power
to lead the way
harmonious living
repays the day
Music Of The Mind
The truth is flying on high
grasp at the wind
and you will see
it lies within the palm of hand
To twist and twirl
with life of its own
linked to imagination
nourishing the blossom
Having faith of self
to reach above
the search to begin
with inner love
So dream away
beyond belief
for twilight's harbor
is yours to keep
Symphony Of Prayer
Stay well my friend
whenever to be
for you will live
forever in me
You've filled my heart
with a lifetime of laughter
for the present
and the after
You lessen the pain
of earthly struggle
with the touch of your hand
and a wordless snuggle
The passage of time
together to share
encouraged with love
the building of care
Bathed in fond memory
of quiet respect
you live in my thoughts
and always reflect
The Heart Sings On
Now I see
it happens fast
the beauty of life
will always last
Now I see
through all you do
your love is solid
forever true
Now I see
you held my heart
and caressed the sadness
the sorrow to part
Now I see
the wonderful you
who has never changed
your point of view
Now I see
unforgettable you
with soothing touch
you love me too

a worker of the mind

exquisite warmth of splendor
the peacefulness received
The Light Of The World
The secret message
from up above
belongs to the world
delivered with love
I searched for hope
and to believe
then came my time
one moonlit eve
Love came to me
on the prayer of a star
never to leave
always near, not far
It was always there
written in the light
above the world
each and every night
The Scarlet Covenant

conceived in thoughts
higher levels of mind
The horizon of white
a sacred place
privileged by effort
to lead the way
My Right Side
A lifetime of love
written in your eyes
the warmth of the past
and forgotten good-byes
Two hearts reached out
and touched for awhile
forever to live
through a hug and a smile
Harmony in sharing
encouraged embrace
united together
one dream to unlace
Supported by passion
the desire to love
a reflection of self
connected through love
The Invincible Duo
Where do I begin
how do I start
to count all the smiles
you've brought to my heart
Your loving gestures
and gentle ways
the softness that surrounds you
throughout your days
Evolving perfection

a lasting impression
to the very depths of me
You make me laugh
deep in my soul
and I'll do anything
to keep us whole
Playgrounds Of The Mind
You are my thoughts
a reflection of beauty
listening with heart
to the breath of my soul
Traveling visions
joined in earnest
powering onward
towards the narrowing
The entrance is slight
human form to shed
with faith at hand
the journey through
Releasing frailty
accepting self
to dare and stretch
the living being
The gate in sight
within the reach
to know and touch
is but to trust
Inner Silence
Unraveled with the stages
through moments of traveling time
revealed upon the pages
the phases of my mind
The cleaning out of closets
a mental image formed
walk towards the vision
the creation of life adorned
Strength to every weakness
a listening heart takes flight
to believe that God exists
to know I've one thing right
Touched By Love
I have more to give
with extended hand
to the following heart
of an asking man
Filled with the glory
an innocent flame
charged by the honor
to repay what came
To touch the light
within all souls
connecting of power
the force controls
Thankful for moments
a tender heart prays
grateful to thought
burning memory stays

for you and me
Eliminating pain

The Power Of Love
We all possess
just what it takes
to live the life
which happiness makes
To believe in self
and trust the way
having faith of action
to obey t he day
The work at start
within a crawl
one thousand steps
the heart feels all
Exhale the fear
then walk away
the breath of love
will power the day
A World Of Lace
Powerful and mighty
beginning just to bend
one extremely modest being
to lovingly depend
Infusion of the spirit
caressing the mind
the whispering heart of soul
a thought for man to find
Extravagance awarded
embodied through the form
enduring all emotion
abiding threatening storm
Rendezvous within the vision
the mind to amplify
majestic life in stages

Human emancipation
to power to ascend
embracing elated union
forever to transcend
Reminiscent of the brightness
appearance to its kind
confluent of the knowing
aligned and intertwined

Walk by faith
down roads of glory
concrete steps

and recreate
nurturing the future

to disappear
Strength to push
the changes made
freedom of peace
and growth within

Go inside
and feel the pull
the answers are there
for you to know

in what they say

must be made
if you dare to reach
the sacred place
The guardians hand
to stroke the challenge
individual trust
the comfort of thanks
Lost And Found
I yearn to touch you
with my mind
and guide the way
it's yours to find
Experience gained
through work and play
I dare to uncover
an easier way
Positive thought
in all you do
will lessen the pain
and struggle too
In time you'll see
if open in mind
that life can be
joyous and kind
Poetic Motion
I knew at a glance
a spirit in flight
the voice of an angel
a holy delight
Inspired by actions
a peaceably glow
your loving way
was mine to know
I valued your being
and voiced my thought
from that day forward
a friendship brought
Resembling hearts
adding light to shade
the sharing of time
the choices made
Valor to lead
the soul ablaze
embracing freedom
closing the maze
A kinship lives
within the soul
forever to build
we're on a roll
Together encouraged
throughout the day
a friendship eternal
it lights the way
The North Star
A tug at the heart
the twinge of pain
a signal to self
illuminating a change
Passage through thought
the mind perplexed
the desire of being
escorts the steps
Modify labor
pursuing with trust
simplicity of self
a human display
At play in fields
the being to fly
the earthly soul
to thrust on high
Pure Thought
The gathering is hopeful
united in flight
with harmony in sharing
the element is right
Inner decisions
the flesh to mold
to be the goodness
that life behold
Loving and caring
the actions to be
a picture to paint
the world to see
The brightness created
with energy flow
the purpose of living
a love to sow
Simply Being
Music is a gift
a reflection of the heart
there is no mystery
where love must start
A masterpiece created
through pure emotion
a dream beyond
one simple notion
Embracing perfection
with every note
a treasure exposed
the blessing wrote
Gently touched
the essence to grow
a spirit within
the beauty to show
The Eye Of Perception
The world is a teacher
to all willing students
drawn to the opportunity
wrapped and tied
Not always clear
the direction to travel
but always aware
the value of now
With mind at rest
the soul to play
gathering knowledge
to lead the way
Focus on passion
which flames the heart
and trust your being
to create your start
The Circle Of Love
As I sit and ponder
on what to say
or how to explain
my feeling of today
I have no words
to express my thoughts
they pale in contract
to the expansion of my heart
So I sit in silence
my being aglow
reflecting the kindness
of the human soul
A tear does trickle
down a smiling face
to know that love
has found a place
Sunshine, Blue Skies And Little Wonders
My little companion
has just turned four
she carries such wisdom
and lets it soar
My years are many
hers are few
but together we share
a simple point of view
To live are days
full and complete
with lust for life
our souls did meet
To see her being
within my mind
displays a world
for all to find
The Mystical World Of Illusion
Intellectual chatter
within the brain
will cause the heart
to live in pain
The power of mind
will breathe through soul
when connected to self
with magnetic pull
The teacher to guide
if open to see
there are no limits
in you nor me
Angelic Whispers
With eyes wide open
the miles to trek
to waste no time
on looking back
To focus on passion
within the soul
to share that feeling
for all to know
To have a mission
is to have that dream
with the grace of God
it will be seen
Ancient Travels
Imagine your life
in the way to be
and live towards
that reality
Your thoughts to lead
behaviors to follow
committing to action
unfolding through time
So choose what you need
discard the rest
for the lighter your load
the easier your quest
The Golden Chalice
What do I want?
How much do I need?
For it shall be mine
if taken without greed
God to provide
our every need
and we in charge
seen through our deed
What is success
if only a word
the challenge of nobility
progressing through time
Utilizing our desires
to their fullest extent
is a life accomplished
and time well spent
The Pains Of Passion
Prayer is a tool
to cleanse the soul
with mind to focus
on a new tomorrow
Never to ask why
but a chance to see
a lesson to learn
the growth of me
To know that God
is always there
he is present
with every prayer
With strength of courage
to face each day
my choice to be
in honor of thee
The Waking Journey
To believe
is then to see
beyond the vision
once held to be
One cannot fail
for it is shown
the attempt alone
reveals a great success
In a heart which glows
with the faith to follow
it will travel forever
through the grace of love
The Brass Ring
With open hand
it was shown to be
the way of life
for humanity
When people touch
and dare to share
the world gains
with love to spare
Love and kindness
faith and hope
to keep life simple
for all to cope
The stranger enters
a person departs
the friendship remains
within two hearts
Forever Young
Through eyes of thought
my life to see
beyond the form
which houses me
My higher power
revealed to me
that inner being
is reality
Creating thoughts
with power to mold
a loving world
if shared and told
Love and respect
fore every being
the world to grow
by simply seeing
It all will start
through you and me
when raising children
with eyes that see
To have a love
to pass it on
the way in which
the world belongs
Love And Laughter
For those
who spoil me
through life
we share
the simple wonders
of those who care
Thank-you
with great love
Butterfly Kisses
And through the mist
I touched his face
and it was then
my passion raced
I touched a stranger
or was it he
for when we parted
my soul was free
Beyond the moment
I am grateful to say
the essence of me
relished queen for a day
Sky Blue
Rise again
in ways to see
beyond an image
once thought to be
Make the time
to re-define
your way of life
and what you see
Throwing pebbles
skipping stones
having faith
it all leads home
One Wish
My life prepared
for just we two
my actions speak
they call to you
To feel your pain
within the wind
to do my best
just to begin
Within my heart
to feel the right
releasing thoughts
within the night
Stepping forward in time
is all I see
leaving the rest
up to me
The Loyal Archer
Distant rapture
is but a touch
with love to pierce
an armored heart
With heart and soul
the winds to carry
a soothing arrow
to cease the pain
Through loving hands
the shadows to walk
caressing life,
spirit and thought
Love's Midnight Gardener
Timing is time
and time passes by
unless with heart
one chooses to start
Within the soul
the truth is known
planted in mind
the seeds are sown
The moment to cease
a future to capture
the ups and downs
a life there after
To see and feel
to live and be
are all the wants
I desire of me
Heart In Motion
To move
is but a word
the thought is there
the motion not
In dreams to love
no fear to stop
in day to feel
that you cannot
To embrace my life
in fields of nothing
to watch a brilliant sunset
darken with despair
I love for love
with lasting emotion
the chains to break
which encompass my heart
Secret Dreams
You entered my life
the challenge met
my life is yours
with no regret
To look at time
no longer blind
you are a gift
your fathers and mine
Your life to be
the best we see
and if we're wrong
please, forgive me
Black And White
What is right
and what is wrong?
is not the way
I want to belong
Outer thoughts
are not for me
they do not fit
my life nor me
To know me
is to see
I am the way
I choose to be
Touch Down
The greatest test of all
is when you're weak
and then you fall,
and fall…
The mind so sane
it will remain
all dreams at bay
will not dismay
A time of confusion
the mind at play
a game of questions
then, the next day
The Master's Plan
I see
I feel
I want
I wait
I want
I want
I want
I want
I wait
I wait
I wait
I wait
I wait
I hate waiting
I hate waiting
I tire of waiting
But I desire
so I wait
I wait
I receive
Eight Bells
I exhaust my being
to tire the mind
but thoughts of you
are all I find
Could I be so wrong
in how I feel
to believe in something
that just isn't real
To live my life
using signals within
to find that now
is where to begin
I shake my head
in disbelief
and trust my soul
with all I know
The Joy
Many years I have traveled
to the dance of life
the days full
the emptiness felt
With hunger to share
knowing one day to find
a searching soul
with a longing for mine
My faith but a whisper
to the passion in my heart
united through love
infinity to start
Bright Eyes
A friend like you
will always be
for you have touched
the heart of me
With lust for life
your spirit soars
it is your gift
and opens doors
Happiness radiates
in all you do
and I am honored
to be a friend to you
Not To Fear
To be woke
from the grand illusion
the shattering of doubts
with gentle fusion
To walk in life
with reckless notion
denial to alter
numb to emotion
Your friendship solid
within my heart
the waking of mind
a fresh new start
The words to hear
to see them clear
to touch the soul
and speak what's dear
Open Window
Through heartfelt love
that meant to be
reveals the moon
reaching out for me
With gentle touch
and warm embrace
the moment's right
to give love flight
Towards the vision
one must travel
conquering demons
which cloud the path
The treasure found
within your being
a world to share
a life worth seeing
My Angel
With loving care
I will place
a tender kiss
upon your face
In gentle slumber
sweet prince do rest
and feel the warmth
within your chest
I love you
Phantom Love
With the strength of courage
pushing back in time
reliving moments
that crush the spine
The rebuilding of life
when you are ready
can only be
with a soul that's steady
To have a love
to want to share
is to receive that love
without beware
While standing firmly
on both the feet
will be the day
true love can meet
Cross Roads
From a greater source
it will be shown
when the time is right
for me to be going
With many a sorrow
but no regret
the rewards are mine
not to forget
Exhausting powers
never dreamed to be
the feelings are warm
and remain in me
The day will come
for me to feel
the onward motion
of the path revealed
Heard In Silence
To not at least try
is not to live
but to die
The beauty of courage
using depth of self
is the true meaning
of the inner being
Words are silent
to the sounds of action
to see your sadness
heard on a face of pain
Through time and space
I set my pace
and continue on
until it's gone
Day Break
To be a woman
can be a curse
the clicking of thoughts
what could be worse
A situation arises
the answer found
but what do we do
we make it mound
The mind divided
each taking a part
the playing of games
they stop, they start
The fog is heavy
the answer there
it blinks like a beacon
but do we care
Embrace the magic
the light reveals
walk through the mist
confusion steals
My Friend And Me
The sun on my face
the wind through my hair
the living of life
with one to share
A feeling in my heart
that knows you care
to sense the love
when you're not there
Having faith to see
above all thoughts
the strength of passion
to untangle knots
Life is a list
of so many things
but without your love
just a day it brings
Silent Conversation
The space is there
your presence felt
each day I pray
your heart will melt
No words to speak
my actions clear
but are they such
only I can hear
On shimmering glass
I float away
the morning bright, crisp and clear
I love my life and hold it dear
I think I'll stay
and sail away
at least until
the night meets day
My mind at rest
my soul at play
my thoughts are deep
but in you sweep
Two Headed Coin
He's a person
with mind and soul
and what's best for him
only he can know
From where it comes
I do not know
the feeling is something
that just won't go
Reminded each day
through work and play
I know my life
will be O.K.
Enchantè
The days drift by
and I sadly sigh
what have I done
and question whyBR>
I once was happy
what said good-bye
always searching
and then I cry
My eyes are closed
I dare to see
a clearer reflection
of a smaller me
Darkness surrounds
I'm consumed with fear ay
desire pulling
towards the mirror
The doors are heavy
but on I goas wrong
from where to what
I do not know
I'm in a hall
I can feel the wall
I take a step
only to fall
I know I am safe
I can feel the wall
I take a step
Only to fall
I know I am safe
Within this place
Her spirit light
A bright, young face
Once more we touch
I hold her near
reclaiming feelings
I held so dear
Together we'll stay
from day to day
to live and learn
and play and play
I let her go
but I was wrong
for without her love
there is no song
The Beginning
Loneliness to be
a state of mind
it can be cruel
it can be kind
A time for growth
and reflection
learned through disappointment
and rejection
With counted heart beats
in a life time
keep your space
till the right time
Your peace of mind
will lead you through
the actions felt
are best for you
Walk On
Change is growth
and so you see
that fear will fuel
a man to be
Feel the source
then set it free
your thoughts the guide
the answers your key
The Silver Frame
Memories are important
they make you happy
they make you sad
they make you think
of times been had
A time relived
that meant to be
a moment shared
in you and me
Moments pass
a lifetime seen
your smiling heart
not with me
The strength was ours
or thought to be
now realizing
the love in me
Memories are important
they make you happy
they make you smile
they make you feel
that life's worthwhile
Circles And Squares
To see mans
truest form
just close your eyes
and open the mind
The image perceived
must be believed
it reveals all angles
and will not deceive
Good or bad
is not a choice
listen to your heart
to the inner voice
True Love
To be understanding
is easy
to understand
means having faith
One takes another
for who they are
but do we accept
their differences
Loving and caring are expressed
through words and actions
what then
does anger reveal
My desire
is happiness
the independence
to choose
To live
in peace
with my
every choice
Where hurt
is not an action
because my love
has faith in me
The Essence Of Life
I lovingly accept
your gift of love to me
with honor and
without reservation
With complete trust in God
to lead the way
with respect for your being
to follow my heart
From this day on
letting my actions
reveal my unconditional
love to you
You are my world
that will always be
united as one
forever free
The Other Shoe
The depth of my love
for you will be
the result of a life
between you and me
As two elderly people
we'll sit
sharing precious
moments passed
A time where words
have no meaning
and the petty differences
you always forget
A warm and glowing
smile will appear
the eyes will close
the head will nod
And I will see
that you now know
the depth of my love
for thee
A Better Place
On billowing clouds
my heart will rest
doing only
what feels best
A voice I'll hear
my head will rumble
and from my soul
the answer tumbles
My spirit will blossom
just like a flower
the petals passed on
through a hidden power
The sky so open
the earth so large
all children will see
the world to be
Open Sky
To know my thoughts
to know my needs
to feel my fears
lessen in me
The dark is good
and I now see
a place to grow
the inner me
The unknown can be
such a scary place
but imagine the happiness
that comes with faith
My Knight
Dark clouds appear
refusing to run
the love of others
the steps of one
All thoughts of anguish
exhaustion near
the longing for comfort
the releasing of fear
One day he'll come
and rescue me
shinning armor
will set me free
My eyes will close
with steel embrace
the peace of love
worn on my face
A Smiling Face
Precious child
so full of love
an empty day
took you away
Tears are shed
to have you near
touched by memories
you're present here
Confusion felt
by ones so dear
your faith in love
will hold t hem near
The cold is felt
that time must clear
the years pass by
and still a tear
Your soul to be
a spirit free
the strength of love
remember thee
The Spirit World
Through a full length mirror
I do see
more than what
reflects back at me
The skin is light
the hair is fair
all the parts
I know are there
The heart pumps wildly
to understand me
knowing there's more
then what I see
My light does glow
as I pass by
always encouraged
to give a hi
When thoughts are clear
I do share
with the world
in which I care
Giving is receiving
the pleasure of things
the joy is in living
that happiness brings
Letting go is a feeling
a song to the heart
the love is forever
never to part
Higher Ground
Looking on past
to the other side
feelings of love
to be the guide
The ups and downs
and times that flow
will never change
the strength to grow
The trust in me
for all to see
is something within
forever to be
The love is ours
to be set free
in a world of bliss
to touch and see
Vision Quest - A Thin Line
One day to reach
the place to be
and it will come
through you and me
A place beyond
the world we'll see
were food, nor drink
nor air we'll need
With open sails
we'll set our course
the passion within
our directing force
To look, to think
to even stare
to feel and see
what's really there
Black Jack-Glen
While I stay here
you're off to think
through the heart
my thoughts will blink
The power within
makes it clear
to follow the truth
and what is dear
I sit back
and feel the pain
seeing nothing buy joy
the world to gain
Respecting the need
the time to clear
hurtful feelings
branded near
Praying only
for what is best
to you and me
through your quest
Enchantment
I desire my life
to be
the greatest gift
I give to me
To think and dream
of the days ahead
knowing through life
I will not tread
To know that now
is not a why
and pushing past
the need to cry
Round 2
When all hopes and dreams
seem out of reach
And pieces at hand
don't go as planned
See through in life
the steps to change
Then take the time
to re-arrange
Fast Forward
Time seems endless
slowly floating by
not a word is heard
I must not try
Through sleep you enter
every solitary thought
my life goes on
buy me heart is caught
The distance felt
seen through your past
all failures relived
the pictures cast
Your thought to be
the steps of motion
present to future
your only notion
I dare to reach
and hold you near
I long to touch
and call you Dear
The clouds to lift
and then the rains
through letting go
in life one gains
Cheers
If never again
we do meet
I'd like to say
it was a treat
Your flashing smile
did spark my heart
and I felt laughter
right from the start
with happy heart
I fondly view
stay well my friend
thanks to you
A Step
A thought
to think
to do
it's done
There's always
pleasure
in completing
one
Red Roses, Blue Birds
My life was spent
not knowing why
you breathe, you live
and then you die
As time went by
I grew to see
that life was now
the inner me
Spirit weeds through
the garden of fear
heart knowing
what holds dear
The thoughts of one
the love of two
a wall crumbles
and then a few
Warmth rushes
through open vain
power created
to break the chains
With open heart
I see to fly
no long blind
I reach the sky
Be Yourself
I have a gift………………
that gift is me.
Thank-you God
The Dream
Dreams are the way
which life will be
for the dreamer
which is me
They are my thoughts
and guidance too
of things I hope
will come true
so let me dream
that I can see
the person which
I pray to be
