To Be Loved...Be Lovable
By: Noah Eaton
9/27/03

Oh love, it's a most beautiful delirium
It all must go, there's someone for everyone
It's no lie to claim
I finally understand Jesus significantly
One is not a lover who does not love forever
Convinced, I evince the Truth with spirit
It won't be vanquished, it won't be relinquished
Should I forget, you'll know I'll try again...

"Blessed is the wooing
That is not long a-doing."
As we're all children of the morning
Dancing in the snow and debris
In at least one instance it's worth to have trust
Every time you see the rainbow gesticulate
And everything else seems to hibernate
Oh, make hay when the sun comes shining!

And it's okay to always cry just a little
Because there's a smile within that solves the riddle
And if each long day's night feels like some Pyrrhic victory
You'll find out soon enough you've made more than you can see
All it takes is some good karma and alacrity
To keep your posture tight, and believe in heaven and thaumaturgy
And it's OK when there's not much to remember
Just as long as you remember deep down

"Blessed is the wooing
That is not long a-doing."
As we're all children of the morning
Dancing in the snow and debris
In at least one instance it's worth to have trust
Every time you see the rainbow gesticulate
And everything else seems to hibernate
This is all you need to see...

You win some, you lose some
And sometimes you just feel lucky
There is no remedy to love,
but to love more, I can see
So now I will listen
to the relic in my soul,
singing,
"Love will save us now,
oh, love will save us now,
right now!"

Oh, love is a pleasant disease
It's what helps me put my vocals at ease
With God by my side, right by your side
There's no stopping us, I perceive
One is not a lover who does not love forever
Convinced, I evince the Truth with spirit
It won't be vanquished, it won't be relinquished
Should I forget, you'll know I'll try again...

"Blessed is the wooing
That is not long a-doing."
As we're all children of the morning
Dancing in the snow and debris
In at least one instance it's worth to have trust
Every time you see the rainbow gesticulate
And everything else seems to hibernate
Now it's clear to me

The way to love anything
is to realize that it might be lost
The way to love anything
is to realize that it might be lost
And I won't give up on love,
realizing not to love may make it lost
I said don't give up on love,
don't ever let it become lost...








I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set and I perceive

Oh Noah...what a beautiful song of love!!

It made me want to just get up and
do a Happy, Happy Dance!!!



Especially this verse.......

You win some, you lose some
And sometimes you just feel lucky
There is no remedy to love,
but to love more, I can see
So now I will listen
to the relic in my soul,
singing,
"Love will save us now,
oh, love will save us now,
right now!"


Love and hugs to you, sweet Noah!!

Noah

"To Be Loved....Be Loveable"  Sounds so simple, but we all know it's not.  Humans just aren't always loveable...but to love in spite of that...now that is love!  

Your sweet nature shines in this, Noah...very beautiful and spirit filled!

To Be Loved...Be who you are!

And it's okay to always cry just a little
Because there's a smile within that solves the riddle


That put a smile on my face...Hope that doesn't mean that tears are coming later to solve the riddle!!! lol, jk...Tears are inevitable anyway. But at least there's always a smile...

Loved this Noah. Keep 'em comin!

Shouldn't this be true of all of us? This should apply to all. Lovely pictures that always adds so much beauty to these. I wish I knew how you do that.

noah,

as you often do, you brought tears to my
eyes with this wonderful piece of work
I swear it's as though you write pure
heaven, this was beyond beautiful. i
truly am speechless.

take care

p.s. beautiful graphics too!

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

Very, very nice...
Made me think of the thought, if I could find the perfect woman why should she want me, a man far from perfect, so I'll just look past the inperfections and settle for a woman...however, there is a difference between a perfect woman and a woman that is perfect for me...James
