My Heart Has A Thousand Songs

My heart has a thousand songs it needs to sing
Songs that are soft and those that make it ring
She has tales of loves' soft and delicate touch
Songs that sing of how she yearns so very much
Some that bleed with the pain of so many years
And songs that weep with the bitterest of tears

My heart has a million dreams that must be told
Dreams that are frozen with fears so icy and cold
Some dreams unfold in the velvet darkness of night
Dreams that touched and brushed against your light
Whispered dreams that remember all our days of wine
Dreams that recall we once had such a glorious time

My heart has a lifetime of stories she can relate
Stories that tell of her emotional and sad state
Tales that tell of nights with hearts dying in pain
Stories of how she will eventually rise once again
Tales that can teach me all I really need to know
Stories that help me stand up and start to grow

My heart has songs that show me how I will shine
Dreams that prophesy that my heart will be fine
Stories that tell how I've come sailing on through
Songs that sing of my hearts eternal love for you
How it will reach out to touch your heart to mine
Wishes that someday, somehow our hearts will entwine

And you sing them all so beautifully my friend.  We ARE so glad that you joined us here as you have and continue to bring so many smiles to us all (even if some of them are somewhat mushy)   Lovely verse from you. (say hi to the MBOOPA's for me and give a round of hugs to them all and make sure you kiss Daphne and Sue for me.)

Eowyn, thank you very muchly. Welcome to this wonderful world, I'll look forward to reading your work. I do appreciate that you took the time to read this.
                        
Kari, thanks love, and I promise I'll only sing in tune with my heart.   Or in the bath  . Glad you like it kid, (now you get the throw away line, just a little something I knocked out in my break,   )
                    
Tony, I'm glad you took the time to say hi. Welcome to Passions, I can guarentee you'll love it here.
                     
Bob, Why thank you very kindly. And don't I wish, if I had a drop of their talent I'd be a happy bunny. Didn't think there'd be that many who'd get that reference. Thanks again.
                    
Mark my friend are you home? Welcome back, you have been sorely missed, and both Sue and Daphnie, are driving me to distraction. I'll put them both through the window soon. Thank you very muchly, and I'm glad I joined the choir too. I certainly wouldn't be without Passions, it gives me so much, far more than I contribute I'm sure.
The MBOOPAS are all waving and sending smiles and Sue and Daphnie are blowing kisses. (They would naturally prefer to deliver them personally but I am not handing over the site to them again today.)

Take care
                  Mushy Marsha

P T love, now that I'm an Elite, does that mean I have to act with decorum and dignity, because I don't think I can love. Thank you, yes it is entwined, and I'm sure that's why I'm trying so hard for you love. I think you deserve something, sorry I mean someone to snuggle with. (I'm sorry the something sort of slipped out, as the actress said   )
Take care love   and have a great Christmas.

Paula love, thank you love, I was in a choir once, although not for long, I dropped my candle during the pocessional entrance, and they couldn't get the candle wax out of the marquetry flooring.   take care
