Given

God was crying today
so the sky filled up with soft clouds,
and they gently dried His tears away.
A rainbow soon appeared, and showed
God all the colors of His creations.
This made God smile so bright, and at
that same moment; the sun came out
and shined it's given light!

"Eternally Mine"

If I had to choose one moment
in time to remember always,
I choose right now. I will fill my
mind with all the beauty I have known;
all the loving that I have felt, all
this precious life has bestowed on me.
Then I will indeed take it all
with me, when my time here
comes to its end.

"Watcher"

Shadow watcher do you see.
my gentle stream flowing quietly
Lapping at quenched stones below
reflecting light from the sun's rich glow;
lonely leaf dances in a swirl...
spinning around and round in a whirl...
Shadow watcher do you see
my stream it flows so hurriedly
Rushing over drowned rocks below
with no reflection from the sun's warm glow
a tree is caught in a hungry whirl,
and swallowed into the depths of the swirl...
Shadow watcher do you see;
my stream has ceased to flow for me
It crashed below into a myst of tears
where sunlight has not touched in years
I lay amongst the lifeless trees
my stream no longer here to please
It's my turn now to watch and see
from the shadows, that's where i'll be...
