Your Voice

Your voice
Rings In my head,
I turn around to see
What you said....
My head knows
You're not there,
But my heart seeks you
Everywhere...

I see your eyes
So blue and clear,
Tho my eyes
Are Filled with tears......
How could you
Leave that way?????
Didn't you know
I had more to say????

Chous:
As time goes by
My heart aches,
And I feel it
Will surely break....
No words can discribe
This pain I feel inside!!

So I sit here
By the phone,
Still waiting
On you to call,
My head knows
You are gone
But my heart
Still seeks my son.

The day is coming
God knows when,
It is coming
So don't pretend....
Tell someone how you feel
Cause when they're gone
The pain is. Real!!!!

Chorus:
As time goes by
My heart aches
And I feel it
Will surely break....
No words can discribe
This pain
I feel inside.....

TAG:
Your voice
Rings in my head
I turn around
To see
What you said......

The Melody Lingers

A nice spring drive
Back home again
It was so nice to see my friends

So much given
So much gained
And lofty goals set to attain.

Now The melody lingers on
With the laughter and the tears
The music of the angels
Ringing thru the spheres.

On the plane
Homeward bound
Intrusive chatter, noisey sounds

People close
But not the same
Bodies warm without a name

Melodies linger in my mind
Mixed with laughter and tears
The music of the angels
Still ringing in my ears

Kindred spirits
Common goals
All have music in their souls

Date is marked
One year out
We'll meet again without a doubt

For now the melody lingers
Mixed with the laughter and tears
The music of the angel
Still ringing in my ears!

WHEN WE GROW OLD

I looked in the mirror just the other day,
The one hanging over the sink,
My eyelids had fallen down so far,
I saw my eyebrows when I blinked.

My skin looked like a wrinkled prune,
Or a sundried raisin or date,
I wish that when I take a bath,
I tooooo would RE-Hydrate.

So I went to a makeup shop today,
To see what I could find,
They sold me stuff to fatten my lips,
And some spackle for all my lines.

Now , when I get all made up,
I look so pretty and soft,
Then the dreaded hot flashes come along,
And melts my face right off.

So I have hidden my husbands glasses,
And put mine away as well,
I've covered all the mirrors too,
Now I can not tell, that.........

What ain't wrinkled up is falling down,
And I know I look a fright,
But God had this planned all along,
As we grow old he dims our sight.

TAPASTRY

People weave in and out of our lives,
Sharing laughter and tears till the end of time,
Like threads intertwined in tapestries
Weaving a lifetime of memories.

People weave in and out of our lives,
Weaving a tapastry of happiness or strife,
The pictures they weave are the ones you find,
In the secret corners of your mind

The friends are threads of purest gold,
And are kindred spirits so I'm told,
They make the tapastry gradually unfold,
An exquisit masterpiece to behold.

Some people go and some stay behind,
Cherished friends are the strands that bind,
Strands of threads, some dark and some bold,
But our friends are the strands of purest gold.
