I wish we could have sailed the seven seas,
the whispering winds of eternity.
but a wish, is just a wish;
lost within the red seaweed,
and pink orchids of the deep blue sea.

I dream of you each time I close my eyes
Tracing your image with my fingertips,
but a dream, is just a dream;
When the hand of an angel
brush paints a scene.

A brilliant star, in the sky
supernova bright,
but a star, is just a star;
My eyes to adore from afar.

You were my precious jewel
a fiery, blood-red ruby;
flowing within my heart,
but a jewel, is just a jewel;
A moment to treasure,
till the end of time.

I was a lustrous pearl,
but upon a strand of many.



Life is a great big canvas-Throw all the paint on it you can.
