Let others first partake
   of the free-for-all meal
   even if there were morsels left
   that would still be a generous deal.

.....the sanctuary
     where the self is set free
     and all that which abides in tranquillity
    is pure joy and beauty

When I am sad,
I like to hear sad songs and croon with them,
I feel as if the songs and the music understand me and my feelings,
As if we are in the same boat.
After listening to a few songs I feel better,
Soothing therapy for my soul.

You said
'I hate you!'
  we'll not meet
  we're through!

I am married
  we should not meet
   I have grown tired and old
   no longer tender or sweet

No, dear Rosie, oh no
   your parents will hate me
   marry wealthy John Mellow
   I am jobless and have no money!

I never cry,
Even in deep grief,
They ask why?
Ashamed I reply,"Dry eyes."
