Gift In the Wind
I think about you often
and wonder what you see
thoughts tucked deeply hidden
remain a mystery
Looking out the window
gazing at the rain
searching for a rainbow
doesn't ease the pain
Smiles are seldom welcome
no time for silly play
why put off tomorrow
what can be done today
Tell me, have you ever
really smelled the air
reached down and picked a flower
just because it's there
Have you ever chased a thunderstorm
or made angels in the snow
quietly sat by a fire
at peace with flames a glow
Sadness dances in your eyes
with eternal grace
worries of tomorrow
form early lines upon your face
I do not understand you
nor do I wish to try
yet, you only live life once
and you're letting it pass you by
I have a special wish for you
I'll send it blowing in the wind,
so when you feel a breeze
it's a gift to you my friend
