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.

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.
