THE BEST THINGS Most people are so foolish Instead of give, they take Some spend their lives in misery For other people's sake. They don't look inside themselves To see what they really need What they real want from life Their feelings never freed. The things they think important So seldom ever are The money stored in the bank A big house or fancy car. They can't bring you happiness Can't put your mind at ease Can't take away the heartache Can't get you off your knees. I have learned the hard way The things that count in life What can make it beautiful What can ease the strife. Simple things like flowers A bird swift on the wing The ocean as it breaks on shore Can make the heart sing. A storm with all it's fury The gently falling rain Can take away the sorrow Can help to ease the pain. The meaning of one to love Someone else's life to share One to spend the hours with One you know does care. Cares like you for simple things Who will walk hand in hand Along the road or sidewalk Or barefoot in the sand. Who'll give you a gentle look Eyes saying they love you Knowing they'll be beside you Part of everything you do. A tender touch upon your arm As they pass you by Share the fun and laughter Shed tears, too -- if you should cry. Make your lonely times of life Something of the past To feel true and honest friendship To know that it will last. Having someone to talk with Of the hopes and dreams inside To tell you funny stories -- In whom you can confide. Someone to take care of you When you don't feel well. Who'd pick you up and hold you If you ever fell. I hope I got my point across -- The best things in life are free. If you just look for them I know that you will see.

Yes, the best things in life are free Abe. Its just that they haven't figured a way on how to tax them yet without being put out of office. Thanks for the emails, they were appreciated. Frank |
