    Dont Despair

    I have a true story that Id like to share

    With people who feel they are going nowhere.

    It tells of a journey Id taken one day

    To Puerto Vallarta, down Mexico way.

    Id had a relationship over some years

    And the break up of that had left me in tears.

    So I plucked up the courage and escaped from my strife

    And embarked on a journey which would change my whole life.

    I hadnt a clue what I searched for

    So what would I find on that faraway shore?

    Well, I met someone there who turned out to be

    That somebody special whod been waiting for me.

    The days that we spent had opened my heartBut it wouldnt be long before wed have to part.

    And now Ive returned to England once more

    While my lover awaits on that far distant shore.

    But this story, my friends, has a happy end

    Not much longer in England my life will I spend.

    Im returning to Mexico later this year

    To be together forever with the one I hold dear.

    So the moral of this story is: do not despair

    Because someone who needs YOU will be waiting somewhere.

    Gods GardenGods garden must be beautiful

    It comes as no surprise

    To see mountains, lakes and oceans

    And stars that fill the skies.

    Its filled with trees and flowers,

    Butterflies, birds and bees.

    Its watered by the falling rain

    And caressed by the breeze.

    Were living in Gods garden

    It is our planet Earth.

    But most of us dont realize

    What this gardens worth.

    Created by His loving hands

    The rivers and the sea,

    The rainbows and the waterfallsAnd all of this is free

    The garden now is suffering

    And oh, its such a shame

    To think that it could be destroyed

    And were the ones to blame.

    The garden now needs special care

    To save it from its fate.

    We need to stop destroying it

    Before it is too late!

    The Land of Make-BelieveOnce upon a fairy tale

    A long, long time ago.

    There was a land for everyone

    A place for us to go.

    A land thats filled with magic

    A land of milk and honey.

    A place thats full of happiness

    Where everything is sunny.

    Somewhere thats only full of love

    No tears, no need to cry.

    This land is not so far away

    You can get there if you try.

    Just close your eyes a little while

    Its easy to achieveYour journey to this magic spot

    To the land of make-believe.

    The Four Seasons

    Winter, summer, autumn, spring

    Are mother natures ways

    Of bringing many changes

    In so many different ways.

    Winter starts the year

    Its frosty, crisp and cold.

    The ground is blanketed with snow

    Hiding things that will unfold

    In spring the ground gets warmer

    And plants begin to show

    Their tiny heads in search of life

    Seeking freedom where to grow.

    By summer things have changed a lot

    In the country and in townWith flowers of every color

    Like jewels within a crown.

    When autumn comes its time to say

    Goodbye once more to all

    The warmth of summer fades away

    And the leaves begin to fall.

    But every year this happens

    And nature has its reasons

    For putting on this special show

    By giving us these seasons

    A Taste of Paradise

    In my youth, some years agoTwas when I was a teen

    I found myself in a peaceful place

    Somewhere Id never been

    The sky was blue, the fields so green

    And the singing of the birds

    Sweet music coming from afar

    That I was lost for words

    I strolled along the riverbank

    Till I reached a bridge of stone

    But something stopped me crossing it

    A force unseen, unknown

    Its not your time and not your place

    We do not have your name

    To be right here now at this timeReturn from whence you came

    Then I awoke quite suddenly

    And gave a silent scream

    Was this a taste of Paradise

    Or only just a dream?

    The Gift of LifeTime is just a passing

    A passing of the years

    Thats sometimes filled with happiness

    And sometimes filled with tears

    We go through childhood wondering

    Of things that are to be

    We think of things weve yet to do

    And things weve yet to see

    And so we grow with each new day

    We change in many ways

    From children into adult life

    Into another phase

    Of lifes experience filling us

    With knowledge and with pride

    Of knowing weve achieved our goalsAnd how we did decide

    To do the things we chose to do

    In trouble and in strife

    To use the gift God gave to us

    The given gift of life.

    SnowflakesA crystal here and a crystal there

    Like glistening diamonds everywhere

    They gently fall from way up high

    And kiss the ground with just a sigh

    So delicate, gentle and so light

    Pure in color, whiter than white

    Falling gracefully, gently downCovering the ground in an eiderdown

    And all the beauty that it takes

    Is dust from heaven called snowflakes.

    The RiverIn a fissure on the mountainside

    And from the ground within

    A trickle of water starts to flow

    Its journey to begin

    It winds its way through countryside

    Passing farms and watermills

    Its on journey to the sea

    Growing bigger as it fills

    Each and every crevice

    Where once it as a brook

    But now its even bigger

    Taking on a different look

    By the time it reaches tgeh ocean

    It has traveled a long, long way

    The tiny stream that started thenIs the river we see today.

    The BeachLike talcum powder all around

    And washed by oceans grandWe find ourselves in another world

    An oasis made of sand

    Its here we see so many things

    The gulls, the crabs and shells

    A fishing boat, a starfish

    And a variety of smells

    Of seafood cooking in a pot

    A Punch and Judy show

    A myriad of people there

    A place they want to go

    And when the evening settles in

    With the sunset out of reach

    Upon the horizon far away

    And us upon the beach

    The WindWe cannot see or touch it

    But its something we hear and feel

    Its gentle, strong and violent

    And yes, its very real

    It hides within the treetops

    It whistles through the city

    It dances in the fountains

    Making them look pretty

    Rattling rooftops and blowing clouds

    As it moves along its way

    Searching for another place

    Where it can freely play

    But what is this phenomena,

    A breeze, a gale? I grinned

    Its both of them, came the replyIts what we call the wind!
