" What Can You Do ? "

I Like Jazz (d)
by Tony J.R. Wilson

Maybe it's been lost
In the hearts and souls
Of the youth,

But jazz has
Lived and will be alive!

Live life, jazz and all!

Live jazz; jazz us all!

I like jazz. Jazz is all!

Lick the spoon of jazz
After scooping jazz
In the hearts and the souls
Of the youthful soul!

Love that jazz as your own!

Like that jazz and just get grown!

Listen to the jazz that's played!
Listen to the notes not played!
Listen to and understand that jazz!

+++++++++++

Yeah, it's not the thing
You hear
When
Looking for an easy swing,
But
Look into your heart and find that jazz!

Lead into your soul and
See that jazz alive
With burning fire!
Jazz is sweet and burns
With flames of fire from the soul!
Let it go and let jazz in
From head to toe!

Let life jazz and let go!

Let Them Know You Love Them (d)
by Tony J.R. Wilson

Love can bring these:
A lasting joy,
And last of all,
The light of life.

One can sigh and wait
For just one lasting face
That looks into their eyes and says
The things that make them know
Who they are and what they need.

This is what one needs:
A lasting face,
And most of all,
The love of life.

It's not enough of
What is love that's
Put in one's mind:
The thing that takes
Away from what is true love
Is the sacrifice.

A sacrifice is what makes love:
When one may leave the other
In the ground, but takes the time
To dig the other out,
Love is made.

I can't live without
The knowledge that
I've said something
That you've heard:

Take some time
To think about
The things I've said.

I want for there
To be an everlasting
Lesson here that makes
The ones you know and love
Let you know they love you.
