In the blink of an eye
Holding on and not letting go is more of what my heart tends to show,
To bring myself clarity and loves reward,
To understand that there's so much more,
So many give up, too many walk away,
Believing they have it all figured out every day,
When the truth is change can come quickly and new perspectives arrive,
The heart can

In the blink of an eye
As thoughts are most often linked ,
Ours minds eye attracts as if by instinct,
You become so distraught & than come alive ,
Sparking a thought that's barely revived ,
Causing a cosmic divide of prayers built from love ,
Thankfully blessed like the flight of a dove ,
As you look back from

The Blink of An Eye
As thoughts are most often linked ,
Ones minds eye attracts as if by instinct,
You become so distraught & than come alive ,
Sparking a thought that's barely revived ,
Causing a cosmic divide of prayers built from love ,
Thankfully blessed like the flight of a dove ,
As you look back from the past where joy once felt

In the Blink of an Eye
I worry and then wonder why,
When I’m going away on a trip,
For it ends in the blink of an eye
And that agita adds up to zip.
Yet you can’t really change who you are –
If you’re nervous right down to your core,
Then wherever you go, near or far,
You’ll be anxious, at times less or more.
I

In The Blink of an Eye
In the blink of an eye you were gone,
It’s hard to believe that time marches on.
Your smile, your wave the gentle touch if your hand,
Bring these memories to me and its as if you are here again.
It’s in the daytime I can do just fine,
But in the evening hours those memories

Blink of An Eye
At 20 I never thought I’d have to work as hard
as I am at 60.
At 40 I never thought I wouldn’t want to.
Today I’m having my doubts.
A few days ago a man in town died suddenly
while out mowing his lawn,
and as I carry 60lb blocks and push wheel barrow loads of gravel
all day in the

In the Blink of An Eye
What happened while
I was away,
with my eyes closed
momentarily,
just for a millisecond,
in midst of my blink.
Did I miss something?
What did you pinch?
What did you hide?
Did you smile?
Did you frown?
Did you laugh?
Did you cry?
Did you stab me?
Did you disappear?
Not blinking makes
my eyes ache.
Give me a break!
Will yeah?
Or I will,
yeah!

Please Do Not Forget To Pray
O' Please do not forget how to pray
For all of your friends and your family
As well as anyone else you may
Recall existing in your family's tree
O' Please do not forget to pray for
The Peace of Jerusalem and all
The the children of Abraham and
All of the Jewish people and
All of the Christian and Muslim
People

In one of Malta’s most beautiful Mediterranean bays
An elderly fisherman gasps when he sees the damage on his luzzu boat

In the Blink of An Eye
Never having been in need for much for life has always been pretty good
The whole family had kept in touch just like true families should
And the job was great so the family was also doing very well
Seemed to have a pretty clean slate from what everyone could tell
Vacation every year and a brand

In the Blink of An Eye
I blinked and rubbed my eyes, then looked around.
I wondered was I going crazy (like,
my aunt who lived in caverns underground...)
but no, the boy was riding on the bike.
One moment he was there - and now he's gone!
I know I wasn't dreaming; he was real.
It took a while for me to cotton on;
I can't describe

Blink of the Eye
Have you ever had your life, flash before your eyes?
Has your heart ever stopped, bringing forth your demise?
Have you been in total darkness with nobody around?
Did you fall down that tunnel, where there was no sound?
Have you been to that place, that is just in between?
The land of the living and that of the unseen.
Have

In a Blink of An Eye
I swear no movement was seen, as in a blink of an eye
You look around, and as kiss your bed, its last goodbye
With not one look of remorse and as no guilt to be seen
There is the cat lording it up, asleep like she is a queen
I would not mind if I caught her in
