On the hour
Most every day
I know you’re never
Far away
If only in thought
You’re still there
Someone I hold
So very dear
A loyal friend
Sent my way
Someone I think of
Night and day
True friends
Are rare and few
And I’m just so thankful
I have you

Lack of love
Hurts my heart
Why can’t people
Ever be smart
Can’t they see
What they’re missing
Love is more
Than just kissing
With genuine love
Souls connect
Hearts entwine
There’s no neglect
Is it so hard
To love this way
This is all
I have left to say

Life
A complicated mess
Bathed in lies
And so much death
Always consuming
Presuming
Presuming
Then it’s gone

Sometimes I question
All the things
I lend my heart to
Sometimes I doubt
The sincerity
of my friends
Sometimes I wonder
Why I make
Such illogical choices
Sometimes I wish
I were less foolish
Than I am

Dismal days
Are all the craze
Everyone’s living
In a haze
Could this be
Just a phase
Or are we stuck
In a repeating maze
Look at the way
People gaze
So many lost
In a doleful daze
Will we ever find
Those hopeful rays
Or stay prisoners of
Depressive waves
Can we all give
Encouraging praise
Or will morosity
Be what stays
Everyone has a choice
To change their ways
Kindness has always
Been what pays
Can you share
Your love full blaze
There really isn’t time
For delays
