HAIR OF AMBER
Hair of Amber
Falls in curls
Over golden skin
In perfect complement
Like ripened corn
In a summer field
WHERE THE CROWNS OF ANGELS GLOW
If I am the first of us to go
I will wait for you in the place
Where the crowns of Angels glow
If I go first because I lost the fight
I will be waiting with the Father
Where souls emerge into the light
If I am the first of us to go there
I will await you in lush meadows
Where sweet perfume fills the air
If I go first and leave your company
We will meet again in paradise
And be together for all eternity
If I am the first to go, allay your fears
I will be waiting in the place
Where God has banished tears
If I go before you and we must part
I will wait for you in heaven
Where sweet music soothes the heart
If I am first to go, we will meet again
In a far better place than this
Where God has banished pain
If I go first through the eternal door
You will find me with the angels
Where suffering is no more
If I am first to go by days or years
You will find me waiting there
Far beyond this vale of tears
NEVER BE SORROWED
Never be sorrowed
By love’s compromise
Don’t settle for second best,
You deserve better
So search for the one
Look into their heart
And when they look back
You will know it’s safe
To fall into their loving arms
THAT RAINY SUNDAY
It’s a rainy Sunday
And I’m feeling blue
Remembering the past
And thinking of you
Do you happily look back?
Across the years
Or do you view them
Through bitter tears
Do you ever think of me?
Just once in a while
With a furrowed brow
Or rueful smile
You thought our love
Would last an eternity
But I was quite happy
Just to wait and see
I just wanted us
To enjoy the laughter
But what you wanted
Was happy ever after
I loved you so much more
Than I would ever say
When we broke up
On that rainy Sunday
When you asked me
I should have said
“I really do love you”
I just shrugged instead
I wish I could go back
To that rainy Sunday
I would get on my knees
And beg you to stay
A SEA BREEZE BLEW THROUGH OUR HAIR
A sea breeze blew through our hair
As we walked along the shore line
The waves lapped at the sand
And sunlight glinted on the water
It must have been a beautiful scene
But as we walked hand in hand
I confess I had eyes only for you
As we strolled along the beach
While waves lapped at the sand
