Fifty- six years of togetherness; some think it is strange.
For Ida and Frank it is normal
They have been best friends since their teenage years
They cuddle on their swing looking over their lake
Reflecting on the successes of their business and children
Two snoring dogs lie contentedly next to them
The orange and pink sunset looks gorgeous tonight
They sit in comfortable silence, united in their happy thoughts.
What is happening in the world today?
I really wish my life would change
Everyday’s exactly the same
Nothing differs in a good way
And I got no’ one else to blame
It’s like a picture in a frame
Just a pawn in god’s game
I was given this life I didn’t make it
To have to put up with all this
Eventually blows your head to bits
Not to mention a relationship
Great at the time, chuffed to bits
But messed up when you split
We’re all waiting for that big break
An opportunity for us to take
A lottery win, “wakey wake”
Stuck in a life that you love to hate
We’re running out of time for god’s sake!
Crumbling away like a Cadbury’s flake
To be rich with lots of money
How wonderful could it be?
Places to go things to see
Multiply your friends by three
But would it make you really happy?
Well it would help me
I can’t even afford to go out
Can’t afford a pint of stout
I sometimes want to scream and shout
I sometimes ask what’s it all about?
I hear something.
Is that you? Or is it just me?
Maybe I’m just hearing things?
Or maybe it’s the sound of my brother’s depression?
Maybe it’s the sound of him getting yelled at by our parents?
Maybe it’s the sound of a mental hospital?
Or maybe it’s the sound of our parents crying at night or the sound of my brother running away and leaving me behind, just a memory from the past.
I hear the Devil at the door, my sins flowing through my spine.
I hear claws scratching the walls of my room, the pain of keeping some secrets.
But there just sounds. There not real.
My brother’s depression is in my head but not in my soul.
And it will never get there.
i pinch my body a million times; asking myself am i dreaming? is this real? or maybe am stuck in dreamland.
I feel like jumping into the sky, trying to extent my joy.
I don't know how i can express myself but my sensory neuron are alerting my happy nerves to blow in my mind with joyousness

Don't forget the happy thoughts
Don't forget the happy thoughts
Don't leave them astray.
Don't let them become dislimed by inimicals
Don't Forget The Happy Thoughts.
Here's a lil sum just for you my dear,
Wishing I could feel your warmth and hold your near, got me cheesin from ear to ear, when we together I forget about my every fear. Got me feelin like I'm superman, used to doubt myself but now I KNOW I can, I can find my happy place deep within your heart, praying dearly nothing tears us apart. Your eyes like a gateway to heaven I can't stop starin, dancing to the flames of our passion with the music blarin. Darling what is going on? It's like you've been hiding all along, I've found myself even though I was feeling lost, I'd give you my all no matter the cost, all I ask is don't play wit my mind, cause so far you seem like one of a kind, and I'd love to make you mine, for now and to the end of time.

Rest your head
Take a breath
Lay in bed
Close your eyes
Your work is done
Hold the trigger
And drop the gun
Wipe your tears
Dry your face
Leave this path
It’s not your place
Sit back up
Count to 4
Relive the pains
Re-fight the war
Look in the mirror
See your veins
Clench your fist
And drop the blade
Thing again
Count to 5
I know it hurts
It’s not your time
Count to 6
See yourself
See the pain
See the hell
Run the water
Fill the tub
Up to 7
You've had enough
Let tears fall
8 9 10
Think happy thoughts instead.
Sunlight
Dancing about
No clouds in sight today
The children are all happy now
Let’s Play…
When life has you down
And you're feeling blue
Don't give up
Its Happy Thoughts for you
Happy Thoughts for the perfect parking space
Happy Thoughts to be first in place
Happy Thoughts to get extra change
Happy Thoughts to receive and exchange
Happy Thoughts turn that frown upside down
Happy Thoughts spread smiles all around
Happy Thoughts turn sad to glad
Happy Thoughts makes good out of bad
Happy Thoughts turn the rain to sunny
Happy Thoughts make the scary funny
Happy Thoughts spread the joy of love
Happy Thoughts are gifts from Above
Think Happy Thoughts
And Happy Thoughts will think of you
And no matter the situation
A Happy Thought will happily help you through
Ever feel like the day was completely lost?
And your sanity has long since been tossed
Into a river of rage and ocean of bad things
Forgotten smiles and forgotten daydreams
Thinking of ways to make it all be good
With a magic wand if only you could
Well I found a way to do just that
Do you mind if you and I have a chat?
About nice things like new shoes and coats
About the sea, birds, and really big boats
The way clothes smell when freshly dried
Corn dogs, ferris wheels and cheese that's fried
Apple pies and singing love songs in the rain
Close your eyes, I promise no more pain
Happy thoughts can blow the clouds far away
They make the tide move and the trees sway
It makes the flowers smile upon the ground
Now you see where happiness can be found
