My search for love I searched the world and touched each crop From valleys low, to mountain top. Flew as far as the albatross. And never did I shed this cross. I searched the wind, the sun, the moon, In the morning the day and the afternoon. I searched the night in candle light. And lit each corner with its light. I searched the edges of myself. As only one can search oneself. I dug into the darkest corner, Searched it like a lonely mourner. But the song of love would not be heard. Nor could I find that invisible bird. And sadness filled a cavity, I thought that love would never be. And then one dark I prayed the night And swore to God, I'd do it right. If he would only give me sight, To see that invisible and unbound light. And he touched my eyes to see my life And I woke up, to the face of my wife. |

I love it, Seymour! Sometimes what we spend the longest time looking fo is something we have right there in front of us. Beautiful job, glad you found what you wanted! ------------------ Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail- And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale! -Oliver Wendell Holmes |

This is lovely, Sy! This sings, really. I know how it feels when the one you love doesn't appreciate your art.  I don't know about you but, it matters to me!!!! |
