mabe I went astray
he is the way

And never say goodbye once,
Or leads mind astray.
Rather grows each passing day...
Be proud! if found claims to love.

alone and astray
a sculpture in clay

All we, like sheep, have gone astray; 
And turned everyone to his own way;
The Lord hath said the words obey
It is to him we kneel and pray!

Sadly lost his prize winning duck,
It wandered away
When its fence went astray,
Talk about down on your duck.

And her dad is Chief of Police

that I had lost more than my mind.
I've gone far astray since my humble birth,
and now I'm on the planet earth.

Too late for words I need to say
Not knowing the length of our highway
That turns into mountains of clay
When your hardened walk goes astray.

Sunshine

She brings sunshine to a wounded day
when clouds are low and skies are grey
when thoughts go dark,
and there is no way
her smile leads the pains astray
