the lonely dont have love they all live alone
spend there life in solitude living on there own
to them it is there way love they just dont know
living in there hell there feelings they dont show.

staying locked away inside there lonely cell
no company to talk to they just sit and dwell.
love is just a stranger something they dont know
they live like a hermit inside there shell they go

it is such a shame it has to be this way
to them the thing called love is just a word to say.

there was a little butterfly sat upon my sill
sitting all alone sitting very still
he had colored wings very big and bright
the colors of the rainbow shining in the light

he sat there a while as peaceful as can be
staring through the window looking straight at me
then he spread his wings and he began to fly
up in to the air in to the bright blue sky

i love to walk the shore on a moonlit night
high up in the sky sending down its light
surrounded by the stars like diamonds in the sky    
as tranquil as can be as they go floating by  

looking at the tide coming home once more
rolling on the sand coming in to shore
these are things of nature that reach the heart in me
makes the world feel peaceful  make the world feel free

life is never easy no matter how you try
one day there is happiness next day makes you cry
circumstances change making matters worse
health and tragedy life it has its curse

it happens to us all.  when we just dont know
we carry on regardless just go with the flow
take life has it comes make your life be free
live it day by day what will be will be

my friend she has a cottage a perfect paradise
surrounded by the countryside the scenery is nice
its called maple cottage a lovely quiet place
where each and everyday you cant wait to face

nature all around  birds singing in the dawn
there lovely morning song bringing in the morn
now circumstance has changed with health and tragedy
its not quite the same as it used to be

the cottage is for sale but her memories will stay
of  her maple cottage each and everyday
all the special times she will always see
her lovely country home how it used to be

manners they cost nothing manners they are free
there inside of us every you and  me
yes please and thank you.  are not to hard to say
these words are used a lot many times a day

all a part of manners that we all should use
use them all the time not just when we choose
it doesnt cost a lot manners they are free
there for everyone every you and me

when your feeling down write the day away
write yourself a poem and what you want say
say whats  on your mind what is bothering you
write down it on paper is the thing to do

get it of  your chest into the open air
this will ease your mind write what evers there
then your blues will go in a little while
then the poem you wrote. has give you back your smile
