I think I know just what we are
I think I can wish upon a star
To a place unknown, try to understand
That life is complex, easy to mar
We spend our life trying to understand
Why strange things happen coming from afar
We know not why we act, react
We know not why we lose our tact
From deep within we hear a voice
It makes us wonder, it makes us doubt
Why we are here, what it’s all about
Why we must live, release our fear
Move forward with courage, our life so dear
And once we make it and feel so good
We start again from where we stood
So keep on trucking and don’t look back
You’ve come this far with courage stacked
You’ve learnt of love, the pain it causes
You keep on going. With hope in pauses
Look up, look down, then forward march
Your life is quite a triumphal arch

I wake up in the morning
With joy and need to strive
And all day long I think
How good to be alive
The wind over the water
And the sun upon my face
I know I’m going upward
At quite a dizzing pace
So children know
That Gd is nigh
And hold on really tight
Sweet children know
You’re not alone
Just knowing will keep things right
Children you have nothing to fear
Gd is in his place
He’s holding and he’s comforting
And showing all his Grace
When times are tough and scary
And you don’t know what to do
Just go inside and listen
And Gd will see you through

Children are our future
They’re all we’re meant to be
We hold them and we teach them
And pass on the golden key
Our actions are important
‘cause they show them how to learn
If we live up to good morals
Then they know which way to turn
Our actions set their guide lines
Our actions should be truth
For it’s only truth that shows the way
To guide us in our youth
So parents listen carefully
Your work is never done
Nurture and then let go
And know we all have won

The bombs are explosions in the air
With fragments falling into fields of clover
And the Shield helps us to breathe
In a time when life has become so fragile
And I wait for the boom sounds to eliminate
Whoever or whatever the enemy is
And my belly flattens as I wait for the sounds to dissipate
Anticipating the siren
That causes us to run for shelter
In a time when life exists
Why has hatred and anger taken over our sensibilities
And what is it that keeps us going
In times when the going gets rough
How will we exist in a world of confusion
And chaos and unreality
When grounding means fear
And love is kept hidden in the heart
How far can we move from our humanity
And
When will it all end

Today I wrote of good and bad
The shadow of the other
Both needed to make our lives work
For sister and for brother
Without dark we can’t have light
For one compliments the other
Although I find dark hard to swallow
I’d rather have no other
For light shines brighter with dark behind
To make it’s glow more pure
For when dark thoughts come to our mind
The light will be our cure
So hold on tight to your life’s journey
As you sway from left to right
For life is like a game of sorts
As we move from dark to light
Inside we have capacity
To hold on to them both
As we move on our journey
To consciousness of growth
And soon our wisdom place we’ll find
And understand it all
That we have come from far and wide
In humility we stand tall

Did you know that life is like
The flitting by of birds
With each encounter life slips by
And we run out of words
So grab on tight and don’t let go
Make each encounter count
Live each breathe to its fullest
And gather your amount
Of Karma, there is good and bad
For each we must abide
The good brings good, the bad brings bad
We balance on each side
Until we reach a point from where
We finally understand
That living life in purity
Should really be our brand
Think out each thought before you speak
Let thought be pure with love
Let encounters be true and meaningful
And come from up above
The character from which you live
Is who you will become
Let each day each breathe bring true love
And show where you come from

Today I thought that I would write
A line or two of words
That speak to others from in my heart
That chatter like the birds
That sit on high on small perched wires
And know what they are for
That speak of life and other things
That reach deep in the core
For life is flitting and soon is gone
We must make the best of time
Each breathe is counted until the’re gone
Until we reach our prime
So make each day your very best
Change out what should be gone
And act in your best interest
As life goes on and on
Make each day count
Let breathes be smooth
As you go on your way
And know that who you really are
Is who is going to stay
