she shivered like a summer rose
in its first winter wind
oh, why did I scold
in a voice so cold
Harsh words to beloved little daughter
music makes the world go round  each and every where
no matter where you go music it is there
it can make you happy when your feeling sad
make you feel like dancing make you feel so glad

it can bring emotion touch your heart inside
the power musicc as from it you cant hide
it makes the world go round for each and everyone
brings energy and love makes the world go on
in days of old the poets told. there poems with in a book
for all the world to see so they could take a look
they would tell of beauty and tigers burning bright
lots of little beasties.  roaming through the night

they would tell of daffodils sat upon a hill
hosting close together sitting very still
there poems they are remebered with us till this day
the poets from the past will never go away.

Shadow
One tick, one tock
I drag around myself in sleep
Breathe in, breathe out
A heavy sigh escapes from me
Tomorrow becomes today
I try my best to stretch the night
Until the sun comes up
Until i can wake up

My body's tired
My mind is too
Still in a state i drug myself
Shadows forming around the corners of my eyes
My lids are heavy but my mind is aloof
A void
A vast space leading to nowhere but is everywhere
Every night I cover myself with it

Shadow
walking this earth
searching for the sunrise
everywhere I went
I saw your blue eyes

some said you were
nothing but a dream
I held you once for
a moment, it seems

here I stand, I'm facing the end
knowing well, soon death will descend
I see your face as it was that day
so close to me where I lay

from town to town
I fought for what was right
in our love's name
I stuck to the light

the darkness called
to me everyday
you were the only thing
that kept it at bay

here I stand, I'm facing the end
knowing well, soon death will descend
I see your face as it was that day
so close to me where I lay

there's only time to
whisper one last goodbye
smiling at you, my
life departs with a sigh....
i wish the world was happy and never ever sad
where everything was good and never ever bad

it would be so peaceful loving and so kind
to have a world so friendly with trouble left behind

it would be like heaven way up high above
a happy place to live in filled with so much love
