Our hearts unfold, secrets reveal,
And we just now barely started
Trudging down the aisle of life,
Each (one)lonesome and half-hearted

He finds a way of expressing things
With an impassioned pen that sometimes sings
He writes of amity made and love lost
He reveals the truth despite the cost
...

He deemed his life unimportant
He considered he was lost, forgotten
But when he shared his worthless feelings
With a good friend, one who knew him

You see the dreaded caterpillar
A violet's enemy devourer
I see the ensuing butterfly
Whose proboscis sipped the nectar dry

And sets itself right there
...

I'm longing for home
It's been way too long
Have I forgotten your face
After being together for so long
...

'Since' I left home, I started out on my own
To waste my dollars and 'cents' was I prone-
I didn't have the good 'sense' to be thrifty
But the 'scents' of success sounded real nifty

The road I scan with rear-view mirror
A lone wayfarer sneaks up behind
I'm there blocking his advance
My brake lights make him change his mind

Well, she's the spice
That makes everything taste nice
She livens up my face
With her ribbons and pink lace

A poke in the arm will cause you no harm
If the pain lingers, then place your fingers
Around the spot, just where the shot

Want to be praised,
Want to be thought of,
Want to have power,

I have an albino Springer who's a dead ringer for a bear
He's husky like one but playful like a canine
It was time for him learn some tricks
We started with "roll over", trick number nine

Last night I tried to see you
They wouldn't free you,
So I got myself together,
In the stormy weather

"I'm just a builder/carpenter" he told my Uncle Tom
"I've framed the homes all down this street" he said, his voice was calm

I have some friends that are ‘big shots', they're always in the light

When you are assembling the puzzle of your life
Two pieces stand out most important
For a bride it's her beau, for a gent it's his wife
And there are two words you never use… "I can't"

He awaited the news,
A blistering blitzkrieg
On his emotions;
But then recovering,

Broadsided by a careless, hurried young man
She lost control, her car flipped on its side
She...crushed. This fair young beauty died

"There is no rhyme or reason, "
A good friend of mine once said
"It's not the time or season, "
My mission clear, I'd not misled

But a light has helped me see
