Mother sits in the morning sun in another place
On Mothers Day she has a smile upon her face
Though she's away, I'll see her again in another time
On Mothers Day all the memories begin to shine

So to all the mothers who still walk this earth
Who bring to us the miracles of love and birth
I wish you all the sweetest day this world can bring
And love you all for giving us our songs to sing...

I'm the color of the falling leaves
Turning red after an autumn freeze
I'll take to you like a summers day
but in the end, you'll just walk away

I'm the color of the falling leaves
how long I'll stay before the next cold breeze
takes me down upon the streets below
How long, no one really knows

I'm the color of the falling leaves
You walk right through me
Well up to your knees
You never falter as you pass on through
There's nothing left, but to bid you adieu

The deck is in need of some repair
the woods getting old
and there are pieces missing, here and there.

The sun beats down
the rain pours in
the snow piles on
the wind blows within.

It needs some care
it needs repair
Take a look, its plain to see
is it this deck, or is it me?

Mystery envelops me
as I fall into another sleep
as I wake to find another dawn
and hear outside the Robin's song.

All that was and all that will be
the air is sweet with eternity
and the never ending cycle of life
the truth cuts through me like a knife.

I hear the sounds of words unspoken
write the verses no pen has written
feel the ancient breezes blow
through this modern world of woe.

Although I live and breathe right now
I sense the timelessness of life
the rituals that come and go
the changes that melt like winter's snow.

How many hearts have beaten on this earth?
How many loves have burned within?
Mystery envelops me
as I bathe in all that was
and all that will be.

My mother told me long ago
"the world brings you up.."
And this, I know
circumstances beyond your control
can lead you down so many roads

keep your eyes open
and your dreams alive
I made it through
and you, too, will survive

It's your life to do what you will  
do what you want
get your fill
And I will be here
for a while
so let me gather in your smile
Let me love you from afar
watch as you become who you are

I remain a part of you, constantly, and always true
What compass will you use to guide your way?
Forever is just one long day.....

Talking to your past-
The face you grew apart from-
The places you departed-
The memories like rain
Up on the roof

You’re talking back in time
To a place where
Once you laughed
Once you joined together
Made plans way in advance

What comes of conversations
And glances beneath the veneer
Of all the walls and bridges
Put up between you
Through the years?
What can be brought back to life
Or some resemblance of?
Is there still a kind of light there
Could it be the light of love?

Always, not forever
Constant like a star
knowing all the while
who and what we are

Pieces of a puzzle
somehow we all fit in
as time unveils, so slowly
the mysteries within
