Arise Do you regret all that you have done? Or wish to change the song you’ve sung? And are there times when you wished for more? Or days when you can’t swim for shore? We all have times we don’t feel right When all around seems cursed with blight Look up my friend help is close at hand Get off your knees I’ll help you stand Do you feel that time is running out? That all your thoughts are clothed in doubt? Do you ask and never find out why? Or feel that all your dreams must die? In times of dark you will need a friend Someone to stay right to the end Open your heart and let love shine through Rise up and hope will come to you Do you think that life is passing by? And you don’t know the reason why? Do your eyes ache with those tears unshed? Fears run for cover in your head Sometimes we forget our way back home And we think we are doomed to roam Lift up your eyes and see hope is bright Stand up, walk into sunlight Marsha Breathe through the heat of our desire Thy coolness and they balm Let sense be dumb let flesh retire Speak through the eathquake wind and fire Oh [This message has been edited by Marsha (06-27-2002 12:44 PM).] |

Marsha, Part of a poem: The path is full of cobblestones But phantoms ride on greens And yet the pull of weary bones Knows nothing of these seems. You write A* poetry. |

love, If I could arise as you have done lift up on wings to draw the sun If I could have hope the way you do and offer myself so pure and true If I could expect the best from life learn from my sorrow, suff'ring and strive then I'd be the best that you've ever seen and still to compete I'd paint myself green. I love this so much, it is so full of inspiration. *HuGGLeS* Lynne Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
