Come, hear me sing!


Up in the treetops high
there chirped a little bird,
a bird of a bright, blue shade
and he sang a glorious song.

“Come listen to me,
come hear me sing
to the glory of my King!
The air is fresh
and the grass is green,
come, hear me sing!”

Low in the summer grass
a cricket sings a song,
a cricket brown and green
and he chirped a glorious song.

“Come listen to me,
come hear me sing
to the glory of my King!
The sun is bright
and the water’s warm,
come, hear me sing!”

Under the autumn leaves
scurried a little mouse,
a mouse so small and gray
and he whispered a glorious song.

“Come listen to me
come hear me sing
to the glory of my King!
The evenings are cool
and the tree limbs are sparse,
come, hear me sing!”

In a hollow tree
an owl sits at night,
a dark gray owl is he
and he screams a glorious song.

“Come listen to me
come hear me sing
to the glory of my King!
The snow is cold
and the forest is white
come, hear me sing!”

Do you see the little lady?
Over by the way?
A little lady dressed in gray.

Her hair is streaked with a silver shine,
And her eyes are soft from time.
This little lady of mine.

Oh Granny, dear
Do you have a story for me to hear?
Of your childhood days, of memories clear?

Go sit by her knee
And you’ll soon see
Why she is so dear to me.

This little lady, so sweet and prim,
Although her eyes, now are dim
She can be stern and sometimes grim.

But I hope someday
When I’m old and gray,
I’ll be that sweet little lady in gray.

Uncertain


So confused
And so hopeless now,
Unsure of what to do

A broken heart
A bleeding soul
I just want to redeem the past.

Should I say I’m sorry?
Or just walk away
And let the past go.

I don’t know why
I ever thought that life
Would be easy when I grew up.

I don’t know why
I was foolish to think
I’m just a princess in a fairytale.

I’m scared.
I’ve made mistakes
And I’ve hurt those I loved

I thought I did the right thing,
Was it?
Now I may never know

Why does life have such heartache?
Why do we hurt,
When we mean only to help?

Bleak

This depression, this weight
Hangs like a cloud
An ominous fate
A dreary  shroud.
I loath this endless prate
im just a face in this crowd
will this feeling ever abate?
will i ever be able to speak aloud
of the pain that is my continuous state
will i ever be proud
of the life i live?

Shadows

My eyes are downcast
And I'm not who I seem,
Ever gay and smiling?
No, but crushed and crying
Am i really a farce?
My eyes have lost their sparkle
And now I wonder,
Was it ever really there?
This pain is familiar
And though I wish it away
I fear it will drown my soul.
