We are all so precious…

Coloring is FUN! And some old poems, just for fun. Hey, it’s Friday….

Friendship

To you my friendship,
To you my love and support,
To you my warm touch.

From you your friendship,
From you your feelings and touch,
From you your warm fire.

In us there is fire,
In us there is warmth and love,
In us there is strength.

Across the Distance

Across this river that separates us
I build a bridge to try and reach you,
I cannot stop the river from flowing,
But I can build my bridge safe and strong.

Across the time that spans between us
I tell a story that is timeless,
I cannot turn back the hands of the clock,
But I can make your story endless.

Across this space that divides us
I reach out my hand to hold you.
I cannot close the gap between us,
But I can hold your hand across it.

Across the cold night air between us,
I send my love to try and warm you.
I cannot lift the chill of the evening,
But I can feel your fire across it.

Renewal

Maybe it’s time
To begin anew …

Start a new chapter
Write a new book
Fresh characters
The mists of dreams

What we all seek
Is a new perspective
The different view
That sees everything
fresh, new, exciting

Makes us believe
We can change
We can grow
We are special

Love can do that
Joy can do that
We can do that…

So, tomorrow, start again
In a new space
For a new time
Take what is learned
And make it better.

Emeralds

I found the emeralds I searched for
In the depths of your green eyes
And in your eyes I saw reflected
The movements of the tides

And in the tides I saw the glow
Of life itself as it comes and goes
The spark and fire of all we are
From the earth below to the highest star

I watched the waves as they rose and fell
Knowing always all too well
That time and tide would never wait
We would be washed in the tides of fate

The spark that lingers on the shore
Lives in my heart forever more
Love never dies, it never ends
It lives in the eyes of our dearest friends

I found the emeralds I searched for
In the fires of your green eyes
And in my own you’ll see reflected
The kind of love – that never dies…

Choices

There isn’t black or white
Anymore today,
I suddenly woke up
To a thousand shades of gray.

I’ve lost the either/or,
And now forever more
I will know there is more
I have yet to explore.

I looked into your eyes
And I saw the past
And then I realized
It goes much too fast.
You’re not a child now
I’ll turn around and how
You’ll have grown
And have flown
And I’ll never have known.

I’ve got to find a way
To make this moment stay!
I’ve got to find the time
To really make it mine.
I look behind me and it’s gone
I’ve got to carry on
And find the path
That takes me back…

It’s there in your eyes
It’s such a surprise
To see the world again
As if it were new!
The joy that you show to me
Now you have set me free
And I see that at last
I can reach to the past.

And so I carry on
With the chores today,
But somehow now I know
There is more to say.
I’ll find my voice again
I’ll have a choice again
You have shown my how
I know even now.

That life is what you make it –
The chance is there so take it!
And when you turn around,
Then at last you’ve found
There’s an open door
Into nevermore …
But what you’ve done here
Will not disappear.
