Misty early morn,
mist rising,
misty hangers,
slowly covering
the Otonabee
ever so still,
so very still yet
peaceful
serene, comforting,
reassuring
there yet
not moving, ever
so still is
Otonabee

Memories
I recall
the time
when
little and
gay
I sang with
the birds
I recall
the time
when
older than
gay
I still sing
with the birds

The lake was calm and serene
Gulls could be heard from far off in the distance,
laying claim to their prey
Very quietly the water laps up against the
pebble scattered beach
As I lay very quietly,
I feel as though I am floating on the water,
without the canoe which brought me here
I have never experienced such
peace and serenity as I am now
The gulls fly overhead
and swoop down to the water
In the distance I hear the eerie
but soothing sound of a foghorn
I am at peace

Eagle
The eagle soars
everyones dream
to soar
like an
eagle.
High above
the clouds
floating on the
breeze
Drifting with the
times
Watching observing
Absorbing all
enjoying
Quietly soaring
high
above

Frosty
Frosty bean
my bean bean
jelly bean
Sticks like a
bean
should
Thick and thin
Beans
Always
There

Springtime
Springtime is a sweet time
of year
When love is in bloom with the lilac plume
Love is grand
you and I know why
Springtime is when you share your thoughts
with your nearest and dearest friend
The one so near to you
the one you know you can
count on in the end
Springtime is when...

If You Ever
If you ever need a shoulder
to cry on tell me
I'll be there
If you ever need a person
to talk to call me
I care
If you ever need a favour
don't hesitate to ask
If you ever need a lover
I'm your first and your last

Friends
Friends
friends are
so much
more
than they
know
They are always
there
when friends
are needed
most
But some friends
go
away
too scared to
lend an ear
or helping hand
Friends precious
few do we
ever obtain

Love
can be gentle
love can be
caring
love can be
blind
love can be
laughter
love can be
anything you want it to be
love can...

Waiting
here waiting
waiting for who
or do we know
where will we
go from here
do we know
with whom
it will be
will we ever
really know
waiting, not knowing
who, where or why
waiting for what
or do we know
will we ever, if we don't try

Missing You,
Day by day
hour by hour

bye for now
