Where Have You Gone, Amelia Earhart?
Where have you gone, Amelia?
Where have the wild winds taken you?
The fates are crying gently
To see you sail into the blue.
You were the news we longed for
From dawn to setting sun.
The world is waiting, watching.
Amelia, where have you gone?

Hustle * Bustle * Push * Pull
The ever changing skyline of the city by the bay
Is a fascinating creature and a challenge every day.
The people and the bustle and the hustle of the rush
In the ever moving, pulling, pushing, cramming, crazy crush.
It's enough to make you crazy; to push you to the brink.
It can grind your brain to sausage; Drive a sober man to drink.
But the millions seem to love it,
And they come back every day.
They swarm in from suburbia
Like sheep who’ve lost their way.
They do their little daily tasks
To serve their fellow man,
And when they're done they run for home
As quickly as they can.
But that's the way things happen;
The way it's always been.
The winners wind up losers.
The losers seldom win.
So, we feed the social creature
So as not to make us lazy,
And we come back to the city
For our daily dose of crazy.

All Your Sweet Love
All your sweet love
You give to me.
Heart filled with passion
So heavenly.
Safe in your arms
I long to be.
Now and forever
You give to me
All you sweet love.
Two hearts together
Beating as one.
Arms to enfold me
Awaiting the dawn.
All your sweet love
You save for me.
We'll be together
Eternally.
Always your love
I vow to be.
Now and forever
You give to me
Your sweet love.
All your sweet love.

ROADS TRAVERSED.
ROADS UNTRAVELLED///////////

SO MANY WAYS TO TRAVEL ########

IS THE MOST TREASURED
PATHWAY
OF MY LIFE

Isn't It?
Helping me
Helplessly.
Help, lest we fail.
Needing me
Needlessly.
Need we prevail?
Arrogance drives
While ignorance strives,
And love merely dies.
What a pity.
However we long
To never be wrong
And always be strong...
If not witty.
It must hold true.
We must carry through.
We need to have love...
We must have love!

Autumn Leaves
The most beautiful sight this world will see
Is the autumn shades of a leafy tree.
Yellow, orange, red and gold;
Their colors stand out so gallant... So bold.
The autumn tree stands straight,
Stands tall...
Turns away none...
Offers shelter to all.
Until cruel winter winds,
The sleet, the snow
Make waste of the colors
That so brightly glow.
But I'm not downhearted, not filled with dismay,
When cold cruel winter chases autumn away.
I know the spring blossoms
And warm summer rain
Will bring autumn leaves
Back to me again.

The Willows Again
I feel so lonely deep inside.
I want to see the willows again.
I used to wave as they waved back;
Or were they waving at the wind.
They were so graceful swaying there,
Bending down and sweeping low.
The gentle breezes in their hair...
They love the breeze you know.
I remember the day as I lay in her shade...
The sky was sinking ...red and gold.
When suddenly I turned my eye
In wonder to behold
A sight I'll not forget
If I lived a thousand years.
Silhouetted in the sky,
An eagle sweeping slowly 'round.
The beauty of that moment was
The greatest I have ever found.
The sky...
The eagle...
The willow...
And me.
Standing.
Flying.
Waiting.
Friends.
We captured that time and made it our own.
Oh! To see the willows again.

The Long Way Around Is the Sweetest Way Home
The long way around is the sweetest way home,
Or so I've heard country folk say.
No matter how far you may wander or roam,
The long way around is the sweetest way home.
When I was much younger than I am today
My time was too precious to flitter away.
I rushed and I hurried at work and at play
Until one day I heard a friend of mine say,
"The long way around is the sweetest way home.
You see things much better that way."
No matter how far you may wander or roam,
The long way around is the sweetest way home.
We'll stop on the way
Just to savor the day,
And we'll watch and we'll listen
To what people say.
We'll smell all the roses
And not be alone.
The long way around is the sweetest way home.

She
The world is wonderful today.
The sun is shining in the sky.
The clouds are few and fluffy white
And you are by my side.

Merry-Go-Round
When you came into my life
I discovered how good life could be.
Before I never realized all the emptiness in me.
But now my life is a carousel
Made for just you and I,
And we will ride on our merry-go-round...
We'll never touch the ground...
Until it's time for us to say goodbye.
And I hope that goodbye never comes.
I'll pray 'til the day I die, goodbye never comes.
We'll never be lonely.
We'll never be blue.
We'll ride on our merry-go-round
'Til all our dreams come true.
Please, don't ever doubt me by asking me why.
But as long as our love is free, it never will die.
So, darling come to me now
And discover how good life can be.
There's no need for us to ask how.
It's easy to see
That our life is a merry-go-round
Made for just you and I.
And we will ride on our merry-go-round,
We'll never touch the ground,
Until it's time for us to say goodbye.
And I hope that goodbye never comes.
I'll pray 'til the day I die, goodbye never comes.
We'll never be lonely.
We'll never be blue.
We'll ride on our merry-go-round
'Til all our dreams come true.
