Remember don’t do the crime...
Unless you're willing to do the time.
Be good, you’ll get treats.

Alone in retirement we may sit
Away from the chaos and bull
We no longer have to drive
No schedule needed to survive
Stopped going out to the store
Everything is delivered to the door
The phone is quiet as can be
There's no one that we need to see
The Doctor becomes a very good friend
Sticking with us til the end
So many people we once knew
The number left are very few
We're the ones that no one sees
That we exist they don't believe
Passing away like a smooth gentle wind
No one even knows we're gone in end.
Don't be too hard, grown ass woman
You'll get there eventually
Remember what we always instill in our minds
Our dreams are never such a race
You'll get there
I know that,
I believed me!
And the future holds a lot for you
Keep the faith
I promise you, you'll get there
Ne Pas Éteindre La Nuit
Do not turn out the night
for night brings peace in healing.
Wait for the coming of the light
to wake a sense of morning’s feeling.
Do not turn out the night;
without the night can day exist?
And if I do not feel the coming of the light
how then can I the coming night resist?
Do not turn out the night;
we cannot see the white without the black
and though the wrong does not extinguish right
may I not know its presence by its lack?
When I was young,
I was so carefree,
At least that’s how
It seems to me,
Ain’t it sad,
How things turn out to be?
Full of hope,
Full of passionate dreams,
A thrilling new world
Lay right before me,
Ain’t it sad,
How things turn out to be?
Glass half full,
Then it’s half empty,
My mood can change
So very unpredictably,
Ain’t it sad
How things turn out to be?
She was gazing into the distance as her, cat whom had ate his canary ?
Father Merrin, lying gray and cold about, departed's floor: epic's, revival...
Hysteria stiking it's note she held no cloak while Damien, grasped her throat.
