5400 Smiling Joy 14 May 2006 Beauty was a smile, understanding was hope Her eyes of candy delight a face full of living joy When deep inside was a place to live her heart warm in a smile to shine Only human as each day goes on from Dallas, Texas, in star shine Looking for friends, or passing in the night sleep of dreams, to savour to delight No need to ponder, loving along the way for beauty in her eyes was all in first sight A world away, a land to fit inside innocence, escaping in beauty made Her smile of brightness this joy never to fade “Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.” Job 8: 19 KJV “The smile on your face let's me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall You say it best, when you say nothing at all”. When You Say Nothing At All Lyrics The song “When You Say Nothing At All” was written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz originally for late country singer Keith Whitley. Bluegrass singer Alison Krauss covered it for a Whitley tribute album in 1994. When the song released as Irish singer Ronan Keating’s first solo hit, a month after he split from Boyzone in 1999. It hit the number 1 spot in UK and stayed for 2 weeks, aided by its use in British romantic comedy movie “Notting Hill”. To be known more for Keating’s cover version, in popular music circles, than the true country music origins associated with Overstreet and Schlitz. Mississippi born, Paul Overstreet was one of the most successful songwriters in contemporary country music © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |

The words with the backend closing doors in mind, mentality and everything else Saved from Politicians and Rock Bands to administer to be in their minds Galloped and if you are lucky you learn to lean dave Dapple grey left hand side Cornering on my hide Like's to take the corners sharp Keep old Nic's teeth apart Always a snapper right hand side Slavers so much It must be pride Never bites cos no-ones near Brakes on left hand side We veer to our bruised hides Pick up those who were above Alas like fingers seeking a glove Inn is there low narrow arch Coachman has cleared and parched Trunks upon the road are still Coachboy blue is looking ill Paid a bonus for inside Bullies to beat sense into a hide Now the bullie boys work again The horses and always the men Coachboy looking green these days He knows life and will not stray The company has him deep entrall And so he keeps his neck so small Newgate is a popular place And you can visit without a trace But cross a politican on the line And you will be hanging just from twine Red and Rust on one side Red the dust on her outer side Leather swinging head singing Checking Dapple on the drive Dapple always liked her teeth Red used his head Usually on Dapple's teeth When she lost the thread Dapple like's a clear run Red trusts the word Dapple will keep you clear And Red as if never heard And never moved Sorts you from the dear And keeps you from the near So all think she is heard We know Dapply Grey And the Red the Rusty may Dapply likes an arch to rub Red like may be to be washed down Coachman likes his horses Trunks are still there Coachboy looking blue Is all, as it should and fair Paid their bonus for inside And pulling all between They get a gentle But the coachboy is often seen Maybe our punishments are wrong And sinners can repent But life makes partners think And Dapple and Red at times relent |

"Looking for friends, or passing in the night sleep of dreams, to savour to delight No need to ponder, loving along the way for beauty in her eyes was all in first sight" this is beautiful and I love that song.  ‘I want to swim away |
