...to a friend

I wish I knew very little
And in learning I were slow
That I was considered a fool
And my friends were few

Than if my I.Q was up the chart
And the grasp of my mind sharp
And yet when you sat there sad
I knew not how to cheer you up

..of her beauty

If the skies opened up
Revealing beauty beyond the Milky Way
And the stars shone their light in beautiful colours
Like flowers full in bloom in spring time
And if the skies perfectly lay out
Like one priceless hand-painted portrait
I'd see that and still rank it much lower
If I compared that to her wondrous beauty..

This loud voice we have tried to muffle
Busied ourselves so as to avoid its calls
Refused ourselves time to think or feel
And tried to starve and famish it completely

But it cries to be spoken out and acknowledged
If for nothing else for the beauty of its promise
For the sweet chiming bells it rings in our hearts
And for the joy it spreads when our inhibitions lift

Shall we yield to this voice in our hearts?
Tear down this high walls we have built around us
Allow ourselves to express this longing in our soul
And in expressing it set ourselves free forever

Free to bravely explore what may become of us
When fear falls and hope sets us lifting on its wings
When everything is possible and our path a common one
Facing the future together, hand in hand standing tall
