If ever you're feeling afraid or alone whatever the reason may be I hope you will call me. Just pick up the phone. Just a call, …… and I will come. Whatever the season, we'll face it as one. Together, we'll climb any mountain that looms. We will shove back the clouds that have shadowed the sun, till' the storm is gone. ~ Together we can search for tomorrow. Together we will borrow a star It will brighten the dark with a light from above. Let's have faith that tomorrow will bring the sun However we measure the things that go wrong, We're stronger together, if we become one. Love can light up the way, in the darkest of night, until the sun and moon turn the light back on. ~ Whenever dawn arrives without sunshine or if the clouds come heavy with rain I'm just a stone's throw away, you can call out my name. And we'll hold on together till the tears are gone. If ever your spirit is falling apart if ever you're feeling alone in the dark I am always right here, and with help from the stars we can always find light, in the darkness We'll be there, together, to turn all the lights back on ___________________________________________________________ 2//20/19 Inspired by "I'm Always Right Here", ....music by Kevin Kern (For Contest: I'm Always Right Here..... Sponsored by Craig Cornish)

Carrie that is AWESOME!!! What is the title please? I'm good over here. And no rush, there isn't much to catch up on lol. Still having writing issues so just writing from prompts or experimenting with random forms. So happy for you!

Thanks so much FJ. We are much alike,.....I've often had a writing block and needed a prompt or contest to get me going again! And as for writing a book, you could and should consider. I had no idea and would never have approached the idea without Craig, ....he knew the ropes. Good luck, and if you ever consider a book, I'll be the first to order one!! :) Thanks for the support !!!

This really is beautiful. You left the reader to determine who that helper is for them... lovely. Just wanted to pop by and say hello. How is your book coming along?

Thanks so much for stopping by! I have missed so many of my old friends, and seems everyone except me has moved on! :) But thanks for asking,......our book is on Amazon, and I owe Craig much gratitude for twising my arm and giving me a push. How are you......I hope to catch up with your latest works! Thanks again FJ !!

Wow......haven't had much interaction from the soup in quite a long time, so it was good to hear from you, Craig! Yes, you gotta come back to FB......I've missed seeing you too! And I sure did enjoy your contests here. The song-lyric contests were always a favorite of mine, maybe because I loved the music you chose. !! :) ;Now that I read this one again.....I know I could have done better. Sounds kinda corny without the music, ha ha! ....but maybe if you are sponsoring another challenge sometime.., I'll be inspired to come back !!?? You know I love the music! Thanks for checking in again!
