If you
experience pain,
make a diamond
out of it.

And
     you were just
     like the              moon,
   so lonely, so                  
full of imper-                        
fections. But                          
just like the                  
                          moon, you     shined                   .
         in times of dar-
           kness.

I step up to the edge, the breeze blowing my hair.
I close my eyes and I can see it.
My feet leave the ground as my wings catch the wind.
I’m flying.
But, when I open my eyes, I’m not soaring
and my feet are still on solid ground.
What if I fall?
I can’t risk it, that pain.
I look around and see others fearlessly facing the plunge,
but I remain frozen in place.
Scared.
All I can think is, “What if I fall? What if I fall?”
It’s then, in the midst of my frantic thoughts,
That I hear a still, small voice say,
“Yes, but what if you fly?”

The sun is shining so bright
And the sky is so blue
And sweetheart I love you
And moments to cherish
With you smiling
All the way laughing
In the warm sun today and
Remembering the moments
We had on that summer's day
And the little
Birds singing in the old oak tree all day
And no sign of a clouds today and
I'm watching the butterflies flow
And everlasting memories
Forever but sweetheart where does the time go.
