Crying eyes in the sunset

Crying eyes amongst the dew

I’ve been crying since you left me darling

I’ve been crying just for you

The roses all have lost their splendor

The trees are bent and crying too

The wind no longer whispers love songs

Things here are very blue

The meadow larks no longer sing

The river’s curves are winding low

Please come and rescue me

Because I need you so

the rain is pounding on my window

The clouds are rolling by

Tomorrow maybe shiny

And I shall see the sky

The blue of heavens rolling seas

The brightness of the sun

Maybe a brand new start

The laughter of a child

Dew upon the grass

To belong to someone

Is that to much to ask?

Of all the flowers in this world

The one I cherish most

Is the rose as it starts to blossom

And slowly nods it’s heaad

It grows in all the colors of the rainbow

From pink to the deepest red

It’s late in October, I thought they all had gone

I looked out in my garden and there stood only one

It was orange as October’s color

The prettiest I’ve ever seen

And I thought to myself

I wonder what that means.

October is the month of Mary 

as she appeared in the cova de Iria.

And sent the sun a spinning

All colors of the spectrum

was around her like an aureole

It started falling to the earth

People knelt to pray

Then it made it’s way back to the heavens

It was a miracle that day

Now I know what my rose stands for

To believe in heaven above

Give Mary and her Jesus our all abiding love

Don’t fault me till you have walked in my shoes

Don’t hate me til you have at least tried them on

Maybe they will be a bit small or a bit large

Maybe they will not even give you a cle

What is in my heart or mind is known to only one

The one that rules us all

I know he doesn’t hate me, you see he understands

He’s the Father, Holy Ghost, and Son

He knows my worst faults and the best ones too

He knows that I didn’t mean to hurt anyone

I was hitting bottom

I was sad, lonely and blue

I was living on an island all alone

Hurting deep deep inside, no one to talk to

I feel like I couldn’t take any more

Thinking if death was at my door

It wouldn’t hurt anymore

I would open it and let him in

Maybe even smile

To be at peace for a little while

When you stub your toe it hurts

When you lose someone that does too

But when you lose yourself then that’s the end

There’s nothing else to do

It’s too late to make amends.

There’s a land beyond the sun

That is filled with sights unseen

Only way you can see them now

Is only in a dream

The streets are made of golden clouds

The grass is gilted too

The trees shine like diamonds

It’s a dream that seems untrue

Only a few of us will eversee it

Cause it’s out beyond the sun

Just made for special people

and I know that I’m not one

We have a little dog

His name is Boo

His favorite meal is a darn old shoe

He’s a pretty little dog as black as coal

He’s pastime is going outside and digging a hole

He’s got human eyes that we can’t explain

He don’t like a bath but

loves to play in the rain

He’s changed our lives in so many ways

I hope he’s with us the rest of our days

Now is the time I really need you

The quietness and the fears

You were there to really help me

and wipe away the tears

I’m feeling sad and lonely 

and real shakey all inside

But if you were here beside me

my fears would all subside

The days are long and 

nights are frightening

I need you all the more

Why did you die and leave me 

You are gone forever

The hands of a sculptor

The eyes of an artist

The heart of a poet

Is what it took to make

the heavens and the earth

The ocean has a beauty all it’s own

Even in anger it shows beauty

The thrashing of it’s waves

Then again it can be serenity 

and peace

Calm and tumbling like children at play

The comet used to be a warning to mankind

That frightened most the people

They thought it was a sign 

A sign for them to do better and to love their fellow man

To help the poor and needy

To praise their God again

But then the minds of menbegin to change it seems

They went from loving God

To other broad extremes

They said it was a ball of ice

That traveled very fast

Around the sun and back again

That throws off lots of gas

That’s the scientist’s way of thinking

Maybe they are right

But isn’t it kinda funny

that it showed up the first Christmas night?
