It was a beautiful day for a picnic in the park,
We all thought we would stay there until dark.
Just enjoying the peace of a late summer bliss,
Like a departing lover engages you with a kiss!
We lunched on good food, and played volleyball,
And butterflies drifted by, 'til the crickets called.
Such a vividly golden and relaxing summer's day,
But then, orange sun was finally coming our way!
My family and I gathered all of our belongings,
Making a pleasant ending of our fun day longings.
As we strolled and chattered, birds sang loudly,
Like a peacock strutting, and preening so proudly!
My family was ahead of me, and I took up the rear,
Viewing scenery, while hearing them chat with one ear.
But very suddenly, I felt the strangest sensation-
Like being jerked, quite rapidly, to another nation!
Since my voice was gone, I couldn't inform a soul,
That I'd just been swallowed by a mini black hole!
Darkness all around, except for a circular top view,
Of marshmallow cream clouds, at the evening's debut!
Laughter and butterflies and children flying kites,
There never was good reason to end summer's rites!
Concerning my family, I could only wish them well;
Would I ever see them again? Only time would tell!
Speaking of which, my watch had gotten awful slow,
It was hard to move and cramped, with nowhere to go.
Like a butterfly lies dreaming of freedom's escape,
Or the sun whispering its warmth, to a ripening grape.
Then all of a sudden, I felt one tremendous jolt,
The unstable, mini black hole had begun its revolt!
I was suddenly ejected, like a ball from a cannon,
And relished the fun view, before journey was done.
Into the park's pond, I unceremoniously splashed,
Surprising many quacking ducks, whom then dashed!
Where was my family? A new dawn was now breaking,
Behind were regrets, which joy was fast overtaking!
My family didn't believe me, not even a little bit,
No proof in the corridors that have never been lit.
I was officially missing-I'd been gone three weeks!
I was quite famished, thin, and gaunt in the cheeks.
My family made me a feast, and I soon went to bed,
And the golden sun chased, until the stars had fled!
Friendship – a seamless sky,
far too complex to gauge or delve.
At times like the early rays of morn,
it fills one with joy.
At times like a gentle breeze,
it cuddles and cossets.
At times like dark clouds,
it overcasts the mind.
At times it comes blowing like a gale,
sweeping us off our feet.
At times it sprouts like a seedling,
growing out into a tree, giving shade.
It blossoms like a Night Queen,
diffusing in the air, a heady scent.
At times like the plaintive notes from a flute,
it saddens the soul.
Like a rainbow it may swiftly vanish,
or remain like a beacon,
guiding us when storms rage.
In darkness, it burns like a candle.
In loneliness, a sweet presence.
At times so silent
At times so very eloquent
Finally like an unfinished tale,
A fond memory,
A lingering scent
Like the life sustaining breath
It remains…..!

As the first red rose blooms
The first bloom of summer__see
It reminds me of you dear
For I know how much you
Love roses especially those of red
I long to see you soon
But our eyes won't gaze soon
I'll have to enjoy the blooms
All by myself__ they are red
Like all my blood flowing see
From my broken heart that you
Broke when you left my dear
I loved you so much my dear
But you found another love soon
I just could not share you
But miss you when roses blooms
There is another that I see
And he really doesn't like red
I'll just dig up roses red
Then I'll forget about you dear
This new person I finally see
I will really enjoy marrying soon
We will marry when pink blooms
Adorn the running rose__ forget you
I'll just forget all about you
Except now when blooms roses red
Next year there will be blooms
Of pale pink everywhere dear
I will enjoy planting them soon
I hope that you will see
All the red roses disappear see
Soon they will go then you
Remember our lost love very soon
Every time you see roses red
You will remember me my dear
You'll remember when red roses blooms
Red roses see over there red
Ones that you really love dear
Full bloom soon red rose blooms

The June Princess
On her birth of June
She listened to her favorite lovely tune
Julie the girl deserves a man
Who is Earl for her to get a wheel.
She was a mother figure
But doesn't have a son or a daughter.
She knew how to scold.
But her last advice has never told.
Now her seventeen candle light
Needs a power to blow through night.
All the night of her 16 year or sleep.
Was the loudest voice she could only keep.
Stronger like a tigress.
Smarter like an Einstein.
Gifted with lily dresses.
Wine that she never get whine.
Conjure up her dreams
Only the star hides in a gleam.
Finally the day of school year end.
And she celebrates on her biggest party with her friend.
A cocktail waitress named Abigail
Moonlighting as a barmaid serving pale ale
Wore her hair in a pigtail or sometimes in a ponytail
All night long drinking naught but ginger ale
With patrons complaining she was slow as a snail
Her life was far from a fairy tale
She posted bail for a sorry male
Who to no avail, did his best to stay out of jail
When caught again for blackmail with a note in braille
Their affair she finally did curtail
Yesterday she broke a fingernail
Today she suffers from a hangnail
Happened while feeding her pet nightingale
Obviously she’s not fit for work, being so frail
After coffee and picking up her mail
Abigail took a trip on a monorail
Cut her ride short for fear it might derail
Jumped off with retail dreams to shop wholesale
Taking advantage of every Black Friday sale
All day long pleasure over guilt did prevail

Whenever I am close to you
I can never say the words I want to
I just smile like I always do
Whenever I am close to you
Why can't I speak what my heart seeks
Why can't I say why am I afraid
If I could just hold your hand
Maybe you would finally understand
The way I feel the way I am....
If I could just hold your hand
Why is my heart so shy
Why can't I even try
Why why oh why
Can't I say I love you
Whenever I am close to you
I can never say the words I want to
I just smile like I always do
Whenever I am close to you...
Everyday, everyone, searches for contentment,
While contentment is right within your grasp.
You worry and stress and bring on resentment,
A part of life you just can’t seem to clasp.
Contentment can come in the simplest of ways
And people just can’t seem to find.
That a drive in the country and spending the day
A walk in the woods can take a load off your mind
So many ways you can take off a load for a while
And ease your mind and relax and distress
You will finally find that forgotten smile
And enjoy some true happiness
Contentment is really not that hard to obtain
And it really will ease up your everyday strain
You came to be on a cold winter day
My heart opened; you were her to say
Her heart belongs to another, so you know
I should have realized it was time to go
Here heart loved him, she was blind
Her brain hated him and his kind
This conflict gave hope, she is my friend
Said to her friends til the end
Her mind and heart now act as one
Her unconditional love he finally won
With this being said it has become so
With a broken heart I must go
The friendship will forever last
Our times together will be in the past
We share a bond that’s special and true
The kind that holds together like a strong glue
Nothing but a miracle will bring you back to me now.
You said that,
I said I'll change, But I don't know how.
My life is at a crossroads,
Trying to stay straight,
Keep my focus now.
Bending round this corner,
Searching for your love,
I longer,
...Forever...
When my heart calls to you,
Do you hear it calling?
...Tell me?
All the things I did, I'm sorry
...forever, Tell me?
That you'll take me back,
I've changed my ways,
For now and forever.
Tell me,
Cause I can't stand to lose,
All you had to offer,
And when I find a miracle,
I'll send it to you in an instant now,
The angels will deliver,
I hope your heart can open somehow?
And when I feel the rain is gone,
The crimson light will shine on me for now,
So take me back, I beg, I ask?
Bring me back to life somehow.
So tell me...
That you'll take me back,
I'll love you now and forever,
And tell me...
You'll forgive my past,
And we'll move onward together.
So tell me...
Please come back to me,
I hope these words are yours forever.
Please tell me...?
When finally that magic fell,
A sparkling dust held over us together,
Uniting us as the one,
My dreams came true,
You came back too.
I will never let you down,
Never again, it's my promise now,
I hope I am the miracle,
You're searching for,
I'm searching too.
So tell me...
That we'll always be together,
Grey and old.
And tell me...
If my heart tires,
Or my love gets too cold.
So tell me...
This chance you took was yours,
Forever so bold.
So tell me,
I'll be yours forever,
To claim and to hold,
...nothing but a miracle...
Graham Alexander Devenish
For how many Sabbaths we waited and prayed
To see his redemption before us displayed
We yearned for his mercy, and begged Him with tears
To see the Messiah come now, in our years
For we have inherited unending hope
A promise passed down and confirmed by God’s oath
That to Abram’s children a Savior would come
One greater than David, yet called David’s son
Here out with the sheep God has placed in our care
His glory came down—caught our hearts unaware
We all were afraid, but the angels sent joy
In small Beit-Lechem had been born a small boy
The promised Messiah had finally come
God’s grace and perfection revealed in the Son
In awestruck delight we all hastened to go
And see what this was that the Master made known
And there was the baby, laid down in the trough
He lifted His voice, and we heard His first cough
We knew God was with us—that there was our King
The hope of millennia our eyes have seen
