Hush

Live 
 
well endowed.
 
Stand up,
 
Be proud,
 
like you're floating
 
on a cloud.
 
When you whisper,
 
hush,
 
but whisper loud.
 
Stand out 
 
like a sore thumb
 
in a crowd.
 
 
 
 
Dream vast.
 
Walk slow.
 
Run fast.
 
Kiss passionately.
 
Close your eyes and make it last.
 
Look straight ahead.
 
Leave the past in the past,
 
where it belongs;
 
in the lines of old-fashioned love songs...
 
Right your wrongs.
 
 
When you're sad,
 
cry.
 
When you fly,
 
fly high.
 
Try to touch the sky.
 
Say, "so long",
 
not "goodbye".
 
Throw snowballs in the snow.
 
Plant flowers and trees
 
and watch them grow.
 
Smile
 
at someone that you don't know.
 
Fight the power,
 
but go with the flow.
 
Catch some rays
 
on sunny days.
 
Share some sunshine,
 
and set the world ablaze...
 
Always remember to give praise,
 
even in your darkest hour,
 
you know the phrase,
 
"God works in mysterious ways".
 
Soon it will rain
 
and wash away all of your pain,
 
and only joy and peace and happiness
 
will remain.

Hush
