Snow White was astounded at their love for her
Seven little munchkins, whose hearts were pure.
She had not felt this kind of love for many years
Together they had alleviated her stepmother fears.
They were marvelously helpful dwarfs who loved her so.
With them around, she felt beloved, her heart all aglow.

heaven’s knight
he walks across the clouds
the first one to greet me
I am astounded
is this Jesus?
I am too shy to ask
He takes my hand
leading me back across the wave of clouds
I feel beloved, appreciated, respected
without words he has alleviated my fears.
I follow the way a lost sheep follows a shepherd
which he is, right?

my mother professed to not like dogs
But dogs liked her.
My twin does not like a dog
She does not see value in a dog
She does not want a dog
She is fearful of dogs
And yet here I am
the queen of the dog-lovers
I have had up to nineteen dogs at one time
I used to get sad at my job
so I would stop at the humane society
and pick up a puppy.
A puppy always alleviated my sadness.
A puppy always makes me incredibly happy.
I love dogs, I adore them, they are joyous beings.
I love their enthusiasm and their happy puppy-ness
Dogs have made my world better than I ever knew it could be.
I feel sorry for people who do not love dogs.

Charlie recognized grandma's neighbor Teresa the instant she looked up.
He had not seen her for ten years, but he remembered her kindnesses.
When grandma passed he felt too miserable to play with her kittens.
Teresa took it upon herself to look after the tiny beasts.
She also talked her parents into letting her take them home.
Which alleviated a huge problem for his parents who were allergic to cats.
Along with her kind eyes he found a kindred spirit and a beautiful smile.
Could I take you to lunch? He asked her.
Teresa nodded without words.
She was still demure and dainty.
His heart began building dreams.

Taking a walk,
On a lonely path,
It’s past the twilight clock,
The ambience is a panacea for sombre health.
I hear footsteps,
Turned around to see who followed,
No one, in the same way, took their steps,
Thought the sound was hallowed.
The footsteps went ahead,
They trailed faster
They were later not heard,
A cloaked impending disaster.
My racing heart alleviated,
I turned homeward,
The phantom being appeared,
A sabre-toothed beast soldiered.

Through grief you depart; remaining only in my weeping heart.
I know you’re not to blame; you’ve alleviated your heartbreaking pain.
So as you rest, pale, and calm.
I’ll mourn your loss, but with no harm.
For you have loved, and you have lost.
And if loving you meant I'd pay this cost;
I’d do it again with no second thought.
For you have loved me when I have not.

Fake brilliance pervades the enormous upheaval
During my time with you, I also sung
You strike me as a devout follower of nature
It has both a stunning dawn and sunset
You spoke because of my upbringing
It alleviated my mental anguish!
They mistaken you for a forest
Your pals say you're always an inspiration.

Just like his custom, he sparks to frolic in the encompassing.
But when he tumbled to get back home, the frenzy was beginning.
Ryan 5 fell under a 30 meter well, a ton like Joseph.
Individuals of the small town hurried to the kid are harsh.
Horribly, the interaction was bare from the temptation.
The town is amply a harsh region of the mountain location.
Morocco's tale goes spreading out via media focal points and dozers.
Ryan was as yet alive twenty hours after the event did meanderers.
Backhoes burrow, and a mass wishes the kid's strain lives on TV.
Each endeavor to assuage Ryan since today has been phony.
Heros utilized a video phone to witness the child in the well.
Giving oxygen, food, and water keeps up with his sharpness in hell.
The errand will carry on as expected with lights, and cams turned on.
Past dozers, Ryan's parents are alleviated by individuals thereupon.

There is an air of prancing fun
Elusive but lightly brewing
My candid heart feels her presence
Dare I warn the others?
Or simply watch the show
I elect to keep mum
People stop arguing.
Husbands embrace their wives.
Toddlers with tears begin to smile.
The angels are here
Ancestral drama alleviated and dissipated

The father was standing with a packet of sari in his hand
The girl was not seen
My darling girl ...
Do you know what I think sometimes?
Human life suffers only, all this
Human life according to unwritten agreement
You will continue to suffer ... you will continue to suffer
I didn't look at the voice
Not all words may be spoken, if expressed
All suffering may not be alleviated
Only the troubles remain, which always happen.

One of them
I managed to avoid this existence
For quite some time
I alleviated freedom from the
Comeuppance no one cared to explain
I placed my soul into the
Bosom of filth and grind
All for the fulfillment of
Those who care not
All for the preservation of
All that cannot
Yet this rote-flavored chivalry
Confounds all light that
Dares to pierce the shaven meadow
Blankets warm from certainty
Bubbling over into stranded froth
Means
The mechanical standard bearers
Which uplift us against the will of men
This man
And chortle, they will, in the end
Because there's nothing left to say.

The tear keeper the one who holds my tears, the one who has listened to me cry and alleviated my fears
The tear keeper the one who carries this jar around, just in case I feel the need to cry or a tear starts to fall down
You collected all my tears and you still have them to this day, they’re just sad reminders of me every time that I lost my way
There is one for the love that I lost that can never be returned, and there are more for the words that were said to me and the lessons that I have learned
What do you do with them? I’m just curious as to why, you would want to keep them looking at them doesn’t it make you want to cry?
Knowing that in your hands you’re holding all of someone’s pain, doesn’t it make you dreary and remind you of nothing but rain
Now that you’re gone, I know how to make you visit me, I just start to cry and there you are right in front of me
Waiting patiently as my eyes glisten just waiting for a tear to fall, and you know that they will because every time I see you my heart breaks in two and I can’t stop it at all.

Waited Then Were Motivated
Before going to church we waited,
Then had became highly motivated;
Want to go again;
Suffer through sin;
Sermon from service was alleviated.
After we had taken a long trip,
In night went by passing ship;
Message carry,
Pretty scary;
Sermon in service should skip.
Sermons seem to be so hard to digest;
Priest did decide to give our ears a rest;
Vacillate;
Humiliate;
Besides, we probably would flunk test.
Jim Horn
Sermon was dropped and it do skip;
Because up again the priest may slip

A UFO was seen blazing across the sky
Lighting up the night as it went zooming by
Many thought it was a plane in flames
To the scene of the crash the emergency services came
They were taken aback when they saw the alien craft
Then they took out their phones to take photographs
Suddenly the hatch opened!, and everyone was in shock
As the head of the alien popped out, he looked like Mr Spock!
The police aimed their guns at the alien with the pointed ears
But when he said "I come in peace", it alleviated their fears
"Take me to your leader", said he, as from his craft he jumped
And so they took him to Donald Trump!
The two beings from different planets discussed matters of state
Then Trump told him he could make his planet great!
But the alien was surely going to avoid Earth's fate
And he replied, "We practice love, not hate"!

The unkindest of human dread
That hits men 'pon this heart-less earth,
Not of flesh made nor is blood red—
But being left to live in dearth.
Faults of flesh can well be treated,
If not cured, alleviated,
But man no hospital has made
To cure the pain of loneliness,
Nor has medicines invented
For despair, nor for hopelessness,
Many a man has died for bread—
For a mere morsel, roof above,
Jaundiced when get heads, hearts jaded,
More die starved for mere scraps of love.
