I love you, there’s nothing to hide. It’s better than burning inside. I love you, no use to pretend. There! I’ve said it again. I’ve said it, what more can I say? Believe me, there’s no other way. I love you, I will to the end. There! I’ve said it again. I try to drum... Read More

To dream the impossible dream. To fight the unbeatable foe. To bear with unbearable sorrow. To run where the brave dare not go. To right the un-rightable wrong. To love, pure and chaste from afar.

Whether I’m right, or whether I’m wrong, Whether I find a place in this world or never belong, I gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me, What else can I be but what I am? I want to live, not merely survive. And I won’t give up this dream of life that keeps me alive!... Read More

The little toy dog is covered with dust, But sturdy and staunch he stands; The little toy soldier is red with rust, And his musket molds in his hands. Time was when the little toy dog was new And the soldier was passing fair; And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue Kissed... Read More

Love is but a song we sing. Fear’s the way we die. You can make the mountains ring, or make the angels cry. Though the bird is on the wing, and you may not know why, Come on, people now, smile on your brother, Everybody get together, try to love one another right now. Some... Read More

Because I could not stop for Death – He kindly stopped for me – The Carriage held but just Ourselves – And Immortality. We slowly drove – He knew no haste And I had put away My labor and my leisure too, For His Civility – We passed the School, where Children strove At Recess... Read More

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, There’s a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true! Someday I’ll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me! Where troubles... Read More
