The Cherry Blossom

Exploding beauty
                                       glowing with its enchantment
                                         the cherry blossom

A Portrait In Black and White

A Portrait in Black and White
                                                    (A painting by Briton Riviere)

                                         There she lies in black and white.
                                         So beautiful she lies there in my sight.

                                         She gave me strength when I was weak,
                                         And gave me the peace that I did seek.

                                         The road ahead I could not see,  
                                         But then like pure magic she came straight to me.

                                         She gave to me her precious love
                                         Which I know in my heart was sent from above.

                                         I’m so thankful today she walked into my life.
                                         She came without warning and became my dear wife.

                                         I look at her picture sometimes late at night,
                                         And feel myself lucky she made my life right.

Sun and Moon Flowers

Sun and Moon Flowers

                                             These flowers have come from God above,
                                             And reflect the sun and moon.
                                             We must enjoy their beauty now
                                             For their beauty will leave us soon.

                                             It’s from the garden there below
                                             That they’ve been blessed by God.
                                             He’s given us their beauty,
                                             And we’ve unearthed them from the sod.

                                             The bright flowers in the vase,
                                             They reflect the sun.
                                             The pale flowers reflect the moon we see
                                             When the day is done.

                                             These flowers we will cherish
                                             Just like the sun and moon above,
                                             And be thankful that they’re given
                                             With God’s blessing and His love.

                                                            The SUNSET gives birth
                                                            to magnificent beauty
                                                            that dies in the night.

The Dreamer

The Dreamer

                                                  The dreamer sees a different world
                                                  Than either you or I.
                                                  He sees the other side of things,
                                                  And sometimes he wonders why.

                                                  The mind that he is given,
                                                  He will use it well.
                                                  He dreams about how things could be,
                                                  And from his dreams only he can tell.

                                                  He sees a world so different
                                                  That world that comes to him
                                                  For his dreams are his alone
                                                  Since he is lost in them.

                                                  In some ways he transcends this world
                                                  And leaves this world behind
                                                  For when he dreams he’s gone from here
                                                  Which is common in the dreamer’s mind.

                                                  He sees a world of beauty
                                                  When at times this life is tough,
                                                  And even when his eyes are closed,
                                                  His thoughts are clear enough.

                                                  Sometimes though the time will come
                                                  When he sees the other side.
                                                  He sees the dark side of this life,
                                                  And this darkness he can’t hide.

                                                  Oh those dreams that are a dreamer’s,
                                                  Those dreams in life I see
                                                  For I'm the one who is that dreamer
                                                  Who dreams continually.

Looking Down Into the Valley

Looking Down Into the Valley

                                                     Looking down into the valley,
                                                     I close my eyes and dream.
                                                     I dream about a different world
                                                     For things are not as good as they may seem.

                                                     I dream about a world 
                                                     Where there’s peace and harmony,
                                                     A world with much less violence
                                                     And much less conflict for all to see.

                                                     I dream about a world 
                                                     Where all can make ends meet,
                                                     A world with much less hunger
                                                     And one where starvation we defeat.

                                                     I dream about a world 
                                                     Where there’s love for me and you,
                                                     A world where people care
                                                     And are helpful to others, too.

                                                     Looking down into the valley,
                                                     I dream about a better day,
                                                     A day that brings us joy
                                                     And happiness in every way.
