I think Louis Armstrong said it best What A Wonderful World I see trees of green Red roses too I see them bloom For me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world I see skies of blue And clouds of white The bright blessed day The dark sacred night And I think to myself What a wonderful world The colors of the rainbow So pretty in the sky Are also on the faces Of people going by I see friends shaking hands Saying "how do you do?" They're really saying I love you I hear babies crying I watch them grow They'll learn much more Than I'll ever know And I think to myself What a wonderful world Louis Armstrong Just imagine what this world would be if we could all see it through the eyes of a child......

Jeffrey Carter, I always loved that song by Louis Armstrong. I don't know if they will delete this thread though, because its a copyright song. I've seen them do it before. Great for Earth Day though. Parker |

I thought about that before I posted this piece. If I didn't post it no one would see it right? So if they delete it it's no big deal Jeffrey |

HAPPY EARTHDAY JEFFERY  BTTT! Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |
