Pages of Blue I see pages of blue, words written so true I see them there, for me and for you, And I think to myself, what a wonderful place. I see friends, and poets, and warm loving smiles, The bright and the witty, and the silly ones too, And I think to myself, what a wonderful place Three colors of blue, so pretty with the shades of whites Are also in my thoughts when I am thinking of you I see friends writing friends, warm words in reply, They're really saying, “I love you." I read beautiful poems, I just want you to know I will learn more than I can ever hope to say, And I think to myself, what a wonderful place Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful place. . Thanks PIP! ---------------------------------- To the tune: “What A Wonderful World” By George David Weiss and Bob Thiele Performed by Louis Armstrong . . Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |
