W hen summer ends and a cool wind blows

     I n the garden there is just one rose

     L eft all alone  in the cool of the day

     T he last rose of summer slowly fades away
                                           ~...

F-light is now in full swing, 
L-eft and right wings are strong; 
O-n the sixteenth of March, 
R-ise up and never go wrong.

A-im at the highest level, 
R-eceive the precious blessing; 
A-s the sun shines so bright, 
L-ife is now in full swing....

Seeking silence and fantasy
Only then am I set free
Love to float and find dreams
In sweet rhapsody
To drift deeply
Undisturbed
Detached

N-ight shadows have shifted
I-nto a new day dawning; 
Z-ero visibility has turned
I-nto a clear air of morning.
E-venfall has fled for cover, staying away from the scenery; 
L-eft is nothing but the sunrise in twenty-ninth of January.

I-n the beautiful view
L-akes and rivers are seen; 
A-cross the plains in sight
N-ew springs make the meadow green....

L-eft in the dark is the night, 
L-onely evening has gone away; 
O-ne morning ninth February, 
Y-ou cherish the beautiful
D-ay.

A-fter the dark shadows fade,
R-ising sun meets the dawn; 
J-ust wake up from slumber,
A-s you finish the 
Y-awn.

O-pen your eyes to the sky, 
R-ed beacon is burning bright; 
I-t brings light and warmth,
A-iming to be in good
S-ight....

A-fter the dusk passes by,
N-ight darkness follows suit; 
A-nother new day has broken, to cheer, to warm, to soothe.

A-ll alone in the cold evening, 
L-eft in the deepest shadow; 
V-ivid verses make you feel
E-late far from 
S-orrow.

E-arly morning fifth February
L-ets the chilling rain disappear; 
I-nclement weather changes, 
C-rimson sun offers fun
O-r cheer....

A-nticipating no one
Refusing to slow down
Still searching for a home

L-eft in the rain
Still moving on
Refusing to bow to the pain

O-nly I can help myself
I will ask no one
I continue with nobody else

N-ever going to stop  
I would rather live in pain
Than ask for help

E-ven if I break myself
I will always move forward
I don't need anyone else

A.L.O.N.E....

A ll is well when in your arms I lie
R esting sweetly in this blessed place
M agical the time; my heart does sigh
S afe my soul; of pain there is no trace

O ffered up for pleasure are your arms
F antasies awake and ravish me

L eft outside this circle is what harms
O nly nestled here I want to be....
V oid is life without your arms of love
E ndless bliss that none but I know of

J-ust get up off your knees, 
U-sing your feet on the ground; 
L-eft and right both standing
I-n front of our foe's frown.
E-nemy of our faith and hope is roaring loud like a lion; 
T-rying to look for a victim to devour into destruction.

B-e brave to face the opponent, 
A-nd be strong enough to fight; 
R-edouble our efforts to win, 
E-ven in the deep darkest night.
J-uly third in the morning, tell the Lord your pleas; 
A-llow His hand to carry you,  just get up off your knees....

C hrist came to us from up above,
H eaven's gift of Holy Love.
R esting in a rustic shed
I nnocent Mary laid her head,
S urrendering sweetly to His will
T he awaited promise to fulfill.
M anly Joseph stood near by
A s angels sang in joy on high.
S ome shepherds saw the moving star,

L eft their flocks to travel far.
O ut of the Orient, they filed,
V owing they would find the Child,
E xotic kings and seeking sages,
  earning space on Bible pages.
