NIGHT SMILING BRIGHT
As the sun goes down,
The waxing full moon comes up
Sky’s brightness shines on.
I’ve been waiting for the phone to ring
there are times when I’m unsure
anticipating what the mailman brings
sometimes I feel so insecure
but I’ve got better things to do
than looking forward to
memories I have yet to make
some day with someone new
are you my future are you my past
there are times when I have doubts
contemplating will tomorrow last
sometimes I feel left out
but I know better than to wish
for the loving that I miss
heaven I have yet to taste
some day in somebody’s kiss
so until the next time I feel the need to cry
I won’t go walking in the rain
no until the next time
I see your smiling eyes I won’t fall in love again
Mery Christmas: oh thanks honey (they Kiss) and a Merry christmas to you!
Two turkeey's and what a big peice of beef!
We doing it up this year aint we: yeah I wanted our last
Christmas before the baby to be specail.
Something to compare to throughout the years. Valintines Day is
the due date.
Ya'll some romantic people aint you. Huh: we aint had thyme to reherst anything
but we still singing! That's right not even orgazition
or should I say the lack their of stop this show!
We sangin Christmas songs tonight!
Just then that mean ole Mizzer came to the door
ya'll aint singing nothing up in here.
Gone out in the barn sing out their.
Not even a compasion for Jesus could
melt your chilly heart. We singing here tonight mister!
IIf ya'll is ah singing then
I is ah leaving said the man, who
appeared to be husband to the pregant woman. I aint putting no stress on my baby
and the way ya'll sing is quite stressful, all that
blue humming and grunting and all those yeah:yeah's.
Un amplified classical singing. we singing here tonight: the other woman clapping that's right! Singing tonoight!' Of his coming, his devined nature and his earthly role!" Yeah Jesus oh Jesus!"
A joyous day, a sunny day,
This will never go away.
Of us forever now a part,
Staying always in our heart.
In our mind’s eye natural high,
Sitting there now by and by.
Love and goodness right here, tangible.
Love and beauty with us, visible.
Children dancing, people smiling,
Dancing to an upbeat rhythm.
Glimpse of heaven, bliss unfolding,
Feel that we are in a hymn.
Twin seams cross the skin,
Threaded paths where
smiles once lived,
Mending what was torn.
When I wake up, I would like to smile
I am tired of feeling that my current smile is my own and mine alone
A smile means more to a person that has an internal frown
The burdens of life are often unknown
As love is in a constant state of sorrow
But only to the people that never frown!
As they only smile while others cry
Inspired by daisies - the friendliest flowers.
Smiling happily and free

I saw the lovely daisies
Bobbing their heads in the breeze
Saying yes to all the joy outdoors
Smiling happily and free
Dancing close together
Dancing joyously
Dancing just because
Dancing wild for me
Friendly flowers for all who pass
Yellow faces in the sun
Friendly flowers every single day
White petals for loving one
He loves me
He loves me more
She loves me
I am adored
He loves me
She loves me too
Remember daisies
Love me and you
Dancing close together
Dancing joyously
Dancing just because
Dancing wild for me
Lovely, lovely daisies
To uplift all who are sad or blue
Lovely, lovely daisies
Inspired by Nature's moods
Yes, I saw the lovely daisies
Bobbing their heads in the breeze
Saying yes to all the joy outdoors
Smiling happily and free

seriously, anybody
strangers on the street
i'm opening the car window
and smiling at other drivers,
teeth and everything,
through the busy and bustling town centre
i am making the most of my connectivity
and improving the public realm.
the 1870s were years of disillusion.
but this is confidence.
the teeth are a summation of all that i
have achieved, no teeth epitomises
more splendidly the qualities the world admires;
i say goodbye to my charisma vacuum,
and laugh at a joke that doesn't exist.
I hate all things smiley and happy
Won't win you any fame
Stop-it's only trippy
And it comes across as lame
Don't come to me with your joy
It only peeks my suspicion
And it's starting to annoy
Completely, by admission
Soon you will see it my way
Happiness is making me sick
And it's completely ruining my day
I won't fall for your poison trick
I'm not having it today
I hate all things smiley and happy
Make your gleefulness go away
Because it's driving me crazy
Just let me be, be gone cheery face
Completely irritating is your cheer
Why are your smiling in the first place?
Take that happiness away from here
The clouds were smiling,
shadowing,
The path is beguiling.
chorus:
Enchanted with the trees' firm,
military posture long-term
upon the leaves of evergreens.
Riding high on spiral spokes
wrapped in a carbon black cloak
with a white and green cradle.
Wind's soothing nature and grace
took an embrace,
As uphill and rhythmic in
continuous spin.
chorus:
Enchanted with the trees' firm,
military posture long-term
upon the leaves of evergreens.
Traveling into the golden hours
following the curves it devours.
Downhill in a roller coaster,
exhilarating joy,
and excitement toy
empowered engagement
in the moment.
chorus:
Enchanted with the trees' firm,
military posture long-term
upon the leaves of evergreens.
always smiling elf has had one of the hardest lives
but he was taught terrific lessons by his parents
no matter how much he was hurting,
the only way out of the hurt
was to help someone else
if you are helping someone, you forget your troubles, they had said.
both parents were terrific at helping others.
He had lost them both in the last few years.
He had no one else.
But by helping others, he actually had everyone else.
He was well-loved throughout his village.
Stars
So bright
Twinkling, shining, smiling,
Heart dazzled by beauty,
Night.
The days went by as expected,
Sun is no longer our best friend,
and the moon is trying to leave us alone at nights,
the stars are dying,
the ground is shaking,
the rumours are true,
our names are highlighted in red,
we're hated,
discriminated,
our minds full with whispers of
"You should go to hell!"
and we feel alone,
we are alone,
no one is beside us,
no one is here listening to our stories,
and we finally realise that,
we are dreaming,
and when we look at the sun,
it still smiling.
