Though, you have power to rise Those rainbow dreams around your head Are clouding up your eyes You see through colored glasses Rose tinted is their hue You're much too open hearted To just take care of you Your love has been a bubble A transparent rainbow But soon you'll be in trouble If you can't learn to let it go Take some time to think Take some time to grieve For bubbles burst within the sink And pain does not relieve I know you'll soar on air As bubbles often do Until then you take care And you look after you My thoughts will fly to you You know you've won my heart When the bubble bursts and you are blue I'm here, as I was from the start I'm standing in the sidelines Waiting for you to see We won't be making headlines But I can love eternally So when the bubble bursts As it must surely do I'll comfort, bind up all your hurts Till you can again take care of you Your effervescent style Will see you rise again Until you see the golden mile You take care of you my friend Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.

nice, Kethry, wish this person well... "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

Kethry I hope you don't mind but as I was reading this all I could see was the little guy from the alka-seltzer commercial. |

This is beautiful, Kethry... and very poignant. "I'm standing in the sidelines Waiting for you to see We won't be making headlines But I can love eternally" This reminds me of the song "You Saved the Best for Last" ... when someone realizes that their dream come true is the friend who's been there for them all along. *S* Well done!

What sweet devotion you show here! I hope your friend realizes what a treasure you are. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
