The sound of youth to me,
Is akin to a babbling brook,
Shaded by the mature trees,
Until it is ready to emerge,
Bubbling with enthusiasm,
For all the expected adventures to come,
On it's journey toward seas yet unseen,
And unknown,
That promise great things,
For those that can take the rough with the smooth.
Life is like a river of chimes
Life is like a river of chimes
With every feeling , one note would play ,
With all the ups and downs in life
We flow each day with every note,
Life is hard and it is tough
But with out the tough There is no good
And with every note the chime does play,
It rolls down the river every day
Some times smooth And some times rough
We take the rough with the smooth ,
But by the end of time ,These notes join up,
And tells the story of your life
And by this time a beautiful tune
Plays like heavenly music

BUT HOPEFULLY SOON,THINGS WILL LOOK MORE FRESH
WHEN YOU`RE BACK HERE AND MAYBE A SESH ...( OR FIVE )
I've been around and back again
and now nothing seems the same
I looked at life in such a way
that didn't fit and now I pray
That this new size will slip on right
now my eyes are not shut tight
My mind is clear and my aim is true
You did your best to make me blue
but it doesn't matter how much you tried
I cried a river, now I've turned the tide
I live to sail another sea
Steering a course of positivity
Bringing up the anchor
Leaving behind the rancor
Full steam ahead
Take the rough with the smooth
I have it all to prove
The future charted bright like the stars above
Pen to paper, my path to make the most of...
