"Beautiful Things"
Beautiful faces are those that wear,
It matters not if dark or fair,
If honesty is printed there,
And an inner glow from all they share.
Beautiful ears are those that hear,
The silent fall of a lonely tear,
They share the secrets of friendship dear,
And guard them well for untold years.
Beautiful lips are those whose words,
Leap from the heart like songs of birds,
Yet whose utterance piety firmly girds,
And the dreams of others gently stirs.
Beautiful eyes are those that show..
Like dazzling flames, with a loving glow,
From beautiful thoughts that burn below...
In a heart that quietly lets them grow.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear,
The burdens of weaker ones bent in despair,
They carry what many seldom dare,
With patient grace beyond compare.
Beautiful hands are those that do,
Work that is earnest, courageous, and true,
Moment by moment the whole day through,
That begins with the fall of the morning dew.
Beautiful feet are those that go,
On kindly errands, to and fro..
Down humblest ways if God wills it so,
They greet the friend and befriend the foe.
Beautiful lives are those that bless,
Their silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains too few may guess,
And fail to see their loveliness.
Beautiful souls are those that dwell,
In the beautiful person...and it's easy to tell,
For there isn't a price could make them sell,
This masterpiece God painted so well.

"Lost In The Gray"
for My Love
I don't want to get you down,
Cause you tears or make you frown,
And I don't mean to be unkind,
Or take away your peace of mind,
No, I don't want to make you blue,
But I am lost in the gray without you...
Darlin', I'm so lost in the gray.
When you left, you took my world with you,
Time ended when we said good-bye,
For I thought you hung the moon there in heaven,
And scattered the stars in the sky.
Now I've gone from satin to sackcloth,
Ribbons and lace.. I have none,
Diamonds and pearls, they don't turn me,
There's just rivers of gray rushin' on.
I walk in the shadows alone now,
Tho there's not a cloud in the sky,
Sweet dreams are all I have of you,
And memories that simply won't die.
Each day I hope for loves letter,
That welcomes me back in your arms,
And some nights I hear your voice calling.....
As I whisper my love in a song.
But I don't want to get you down,
Cause you tears or make you frown,
And I don't mean to be unkind,
Or take away your peace of mind,
No, I don't want to make you blue,
But I'm so lost in the gray without you.

"I Asked And Received"
I asked God for strength-that I might achieve...
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked God for health-that I might do greater things...
I was given infirmity-that i might do better things.
I ask for riches-that I might be happy...
I was given poverty-that I might be wise.
I asked God for power-that I might have the praise of man...
I was given weakness-that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things-that I might enjoy life...
I was given life-that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for-
And everything I had hoped for,
Almost despite myself-my "unspoken" prayers were answered.
I am, among all men, most richly blessed!

"Passing Beyond The Shadow"
Passing beyond the shadow,
Into a purer light,
Stepping behind the curtain,
Getting a clearer sight.
Laying aside a burden,
This weary, mortal coil,
Done with the worlds vexations,
Done with its tears and toil.
Tired of all earths playthings,
Heartsick and ready to sleep,
Ready to bid my friends farewell...
Wondering why they weep.
Passing beyond the shadow,
Into eternal day,
Why do they call it dying...
This sweet going away?
for Dad
From his Starfire

A Time to believe
To believe is to know that every day
is a new beginning.
It is to trust that miracles happen,
and dreams really do come true.
To believe is to see angels dancing
among the clouds,
To know the wonder of a stardust sky
and the wisdom of the man in the moon.
To believe is to know the value of a
nurturing heart,
The innocence of a child's eyes
and the beauty of an aging hand,
for it is through their teachings
we learn to love.
To believe is to find the strength
and courage that lies within us.
When it is time to pick up the pieces
and begin again.
To believe is to know we are not alone,
That life is a gift and this is our time
to cherish it.
To believe is to know that wonderful
surprises are just waiting to happen,
And all our hopes and dreams are
within reach.
If only we believe.

Life+Without+Friendship~
Life without friendship....
is like the dawn without the sun.
Life without friendship....
is like the sky without the moon
when the evening has begun.
Life without friendship....
is like a rose without rain.
Life without friendship....
just wouldn't be the same.
Life without friendship....
is like a ship without a sea.
life without friendship....
just could not be
without a friend like you
for me.
