Drive Forward

Drive forward. Before I leave, I must plant a tree, Because a rainforest is what you need. A missing piece of our destiny, Can be found beneath the leaves. Write a note on a cut down oak. Make a promise to them all. Change your ways before you go And never hide behind an opinion that will fall. I have a key to what I keep, feeling on the inside. I will let you clone me, if you like. The mind is never free from the noise; A sound so loud it will make you cry. Tranquility is just a dream, We wish for as the days go rushing on by. So soon to be gone; on a one way track. The time has come for us to try. Break apart every wish you have And spread the luck around. Give their cheek a kiss and lend a hand, When the lost need to be found. Gasoline on a one way street; No fire station on the way. Use sun screen to protect you from disease. No cell can ever save you from the pain. (C)2017 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
