I send you a rose
May its perfume fill your day
A fragrant red rose
To assist you on your way.
This red rose is a special gift
Given to you from above.
To bless you and give you a lift
Sent with blessings and love.
When you hold the rose in your hand
You will have peace and serenity
And everything will be grand
And when you see it you'll think of me.
One final verse before I close
To reiterate I will say
I send you a rose
May its perfume fill your day.
* * * * * * * * *
I loved the smell of the flowers there
My favorite flower is the camellia
Now as I walk about the land
* * * * * * * * *
When springtime arrives
I'm always picking flowers
I pick flowers of every color
* * * * * * * * *
O Child Within
As I fit together
And as I travel
O Child Within
Teach me to know
Speak to me softly
Teach me to play
O Child Within
Teach me to love
O Child Within
Teach me to feel
O Child Within
* * * * * * * * *
When things go wrong
And your funds are low
And you're wondering how
Then just think of me
* * * * * * * * *
Listen to your heart
The sound you will hear
You will hear
When you listen to the chimes within
* * * * * * * * *
Love is enjoying perfect weather
Love is joy and openness
Love is having a sense of humour
Love is everything that's good
* * * * * * * * *
Born to be wild
From an early age
Before he could walk
Looking straight ahead
* * * * * * * * *
When I was just a little girl
'You play so well', they said
No one ever knew
* * * * * * * * *
Now that I have my special gift
I can step out into the world
* * * * * * * * *
When I am with you
Whenever we go for a walk
Whenever I am with you
When we are together at night
* * * * * * * * *
A small kitten I am
I look into your world
I wish I were there
Although I'd love to be a fish
* * * * * * * * *
Follow your path
Look to the inner way
Smile at adversity
Reach for the stars
* * * * * * * * *
When I was seventeen in the summertime
I sat upon my favorite rock
I saw the images frozen there
I long to go back there some day
* * * * * * * * *
I send to you
This special rose
May its energy flow
May it continue to flow
* * * * * * * * *
Granville Island
Places of entertainment
Walking with their family
* * * * * * * * *
I give you a seashell
Just put it to your ear
Just close your eyes
Whenever you want to hear angels sing
* * * * * * * * *
On this card I write with pen
* * * * * * * * *
Proudly two mice played the piano
As the mice confidently played on
In time the three
Friendship rides on wings of joy
* * * * * * * * *
May the descending angel be with you
May your days be bright
May you enjoy every moment
And may the angel stay with you
* * * * * * * * *
Live each day as best you can
Live each day as best you can
* * * * * * * * *
Hitch your wagon to a star
Keep reaching for your dreams
Stay steadfast to the star
Walk in the shadow of your star
* * * * * * * * *
It is the human touch
The touch of your hand in mine
What fills me with grace
The sound of your voice
* * * * * * * * *
With spirits high I give a sigh
As I enjoy the warmth and sun
* * * * * * * * *
The greatest thing in the world
Wonderful is togetherness
And being with someone for whom you care
And saying thanks for caring
* * * * * * * * *
Have faith in your dreams
And as you dream of joyful things
And dream of a south sea beach
And should you include me in your dreams
* * * * * * * * *
While standing below a waterfall
To stand beside a waterfall
* * * * * * * * *
The owl sat perched high above
To see an owl is rare
With blinking eyes
From his perch high above
* * * * * * * * *
We soar as eagles
Softly and freely
Upward and onward
Two spirits as one
* * * * * * * * *
An eagle in flight
A noble bird of prey
Watching the eagle
Into the sun
* * * * * * * * *
I paint you a sun
Even late at night
And when you awake
As you start a new day
* * * * * * * * *
May you see as a child
May you be like the rainbow
* * * * * * * * *
May your heart be a star
May the heart be red
May your heart glow
May your star shine bright
May you heart and the star become one
* * * * * * * * *
As I journey from day to day
* * * * * * * * *
Butterflies of many colors
I see you blowing bubbles
Following the beautiful bubbles
I love to be with you
Whenever I am with you
* * * * * * * * *
A bird of splendid feathers
With its many shades of colors
Of all the many birds
Whenever I see a bird of paradise
* * * * * * * * *
I send you an animal resembling a horse
A fabulous animal
* * * * * * * * *
Don't push the river
Listen very carefully
When you get depressed
When life hands you a setback
When going through a storm
When you are under pressure
* * * * * * * * *
Sitting at work
Wondering why
When I want to travel
Perhaps I'll quit my job
* * * * * * * * *
Butterflies flittering free
Everywhere in my sight
If I had my wish
* * * * * * * * *
If I had my way I would not be on stage
I would travel the world over
I would travel America and to mine own self be true
I would every day look to the west
I would walk for hours both day and night
I would do what I want to do in life
I would walk barefoot in the sand
And as I travel across the land
* * * * * * * * *
I long to go down to the sea again
I long to walk on the sand by the sea
I love to watch children playing there
And slowly walk along the shore
* * * * * * * * *
I send you a gift
Just think of each color
* * * * * * * * *

THE FLOWER GIRL
When I was just a little girl
I used to spend hours
Walking through the countryside
Among the beauty of the flowers.
As I walked about the land
And I freely picked the flowers
And carried them in my hand.
With its elegant leaves of dark green
A more beautiful and showy flower
I have never seen.
Carrying my flowers with me
I can walk proud and tall
For I am the Flower Girl, you see.PICKING FLOWERS
I am the Flower Girl
Doing my thing
Picking flowers
In the early spring
And the flowers are out
I am the Flower Girl
I proudly shout.
And never get caught
I pick for many hours
From every flower pot.
From the red to the blue
Every moment while I am picking
I'm thinking of you.O CHILD WITHIN!
I love you so
Each day as I live
Teach me to grow.
The pieces of life
Let me be free
From troubles and strife.
As a free soul
Teach me to unravel
The mysteries you know.
Let me recall
Your smile within
Beaming out to all.
All about living
And free me to go
On receiving and giving.
Let me hear your voice
Dear Child Within
As together we rejoice.
And laugh and have fun
As I journey each day
In God's golden sun.
Teach me to laugh
And live in joy
As I travel life's path.
And to live in light
O Child Within
Keep your light bright.
Stay close by my side
And remind me often
That with me you abide.
Live, love in light
All that is real
In your loving sight.
I know we are one
Let us walk on together
As companions in fun.THINK OF ME
As they sometimes do
And the path you're on
Seems blocked to you.
And your debts are due
And you want to smile
But you're feeling blue
Good luck can come to you
And you want joy and serenity
Peace of mind and hapiness too.
And I will be with you
And you will be free
To do what you want to do.MUSIC OF THE HEART
And you will hear
Music of the universe
Harmoniously beating there.
Will be a greeting
The melody of mankind
Like one heart betaing.
With your inner ears
Tones and sounds clear
Music of the spheres.
They will ring out a knowing
And echo such a melody for you
That you will know before going.LOVE IS
Love is letting go of fear
Love is oneness and being together
Love is knowing you are there.
Living to the fullest one's life
Love is harmony and glee
Living free from fear and strife.
Love is being considerate and kind
Understanding another's point of view
Love is keeping an open mind.
Heartfelt hugs and hands that touch
Eye contact, a smile, a laugh
All the things we share so much.BORN TO BE WILD
Born to be free
A wonder child
Full of glee.
Riding a bike
On a rampage
An unusual tyke.
Noticed by passers-by
He rode down the block
With head held high.
He knows how to laugh
And enjoy life as a kid
As he rides on his path.THE PIANO
Before I went to school
I loved to play the piano
And sit upon the stool.
Although I was only three
Coming from withinside my head
It seemed so natural to me.
How much I loved to play
Even as I grew
In my mind I play the piano every day.NEW HIKING BOOTS
I feel more at ease
In my new hiking boots
Walking is a breeze.
And walk confident and tall
And march along and sing a song
Wearing my hiking boots and all.CLOUD NINE
Then everything is fine
Together we have a lot of fun
And I'm on Cloud Nine.
Or in the evening out to dine
I'm loving you a bunch
And I'm on Cloud Nine.
I have no reason to pine
Because with you I'm truly
On Cloud Nine.
Deep in sleep during dream time
Cuddled close together tight
Then we are both on Cloud Nine.THE GOLDFISH AND THE PUSSYCAT
A curious one
I love to have fun
And play in the sun.
As you swim silently around
A fish in a bowl
A new friend I have found.
Swimming with you so free
Without a care
Moving effortlessly.
And be where you're at
If I had my wish
I'd still be a cat.REACH FOR THE STARS
As you go on your way
Take time to laugh
Frequently each day.
To the spirit within
And you will be guided
Again and again.
Look fear in the face
And light will shine through
To bless you with grace.
In whatever you do
Believe in yourself
And your dreams will come true.THE MILL POND
I used to sit for hours
Down by the old mill pond
Among the beauty of the flowers.
With no one around to bother
Silently listening to nature talk
Watching the reflections in the water.
Of Nature's beauty, calm and still
Reflections in the water so clear
Surrounded by the old mill.
To watch the reflections from above
And to feel the sun's golden ray
To the mill pond that I love.THE PINK ROSE
From up above
A rose of pink
With all my love
I give to you
Is a symbol of joy
And universal love too.
As it filters down
Giving off a glow
Of love all around.
And fill you with cheer
And light up your life
Every day of the year.GRANVILLE ISLAND
A place for a holiday
Fine places to eat
Bridges and Pelican Bay.
Theatres along the way
And fun and laughter
People feeling gay.
Enjoying a Saturday
I want to be there
What more can I say?THE SEASHELL
A beautiful gift
It will ring like a bell
And give you a lift.
And listen carefully
And you will hear
The ring of the sea.
And imagine you are at the beach
In the early morning sunrise
Seagulls and seashells within reach.
Hold the seashell to your ears
Celestial music it will bring
Tones from heavenly spheres.LOVE IS ALL WE NEED
And with these words take heed
Until we meet again
Love is all we need.TWO MICE AND A CAT
Together side by side
Creating a beautiful solo
Playing with great pride.
They were surprised by a cat in a tree
Who enjoyed their tune
And helped them create a melody.
Composed the music and the words
Then they were free
To let their music be heard.
Where only hearts can travel free
As high as light can soar
Live in love and harmony.THE DESCENDING ANGEL
As you travel on your way
May she give you peace and serenity
As you enjoy your holiday.
As you visit family
May this Christmas time be light
With gifts for you under the tree.
Of being with family whom you love
To enjoy the excitement and wonder
Of blessings from the angel above.
Each and every day
And give to you true love
So that blessings flow your way.LIVE EACH DAY AS BEST YOU CAN
Enjoy each day in playful fun
Love your way throughout the day
Work and play and walk and run.
One moment at a time
Smile at everyone you see
And your life will be just fine.KEEP REACHING FOR YOUR DREAMS
As you travel on your way
A star that beams on you
Sprinkling its inner starlight ray.
No matter what others say
For nothing is as it seems
Your dreams will come true one day.
As you travel day and night
For the star is as you are
A beacon of inner light.
As you journey on your path
Travelling one day at a time
Taking time to play and laugh.THE HUMAN TOUCH
That means the most
It does so much
To bring us close.
As we walk together in the sun
Memories of another time
Of holding hands and having fun.
Is the shake of your hand
A hug, an embrace
As only you can.
Heard close or afar
Makes me want to rejoice
And be where you are.DRIVING THROUGH IDAHO
As I roll along the highway
With thoughts of excitement and feeling high
Of doing things my way.
What is in store, I do not know
Yet I'll have a lot of fun
As I drive through Idaho.THANKS FOR SHARING
Is to share time with another being
Like a pure and beautiful pearl
Sharing is a most wonderful thing.
Holding hands and having fun
Sharing joy and bliss
Laughing in the golden sun.
Simply because you want to
Listening with a keen ear
And telling them, 'I Love You'.
Thanks for being open and free
And thanks for sharing
The important things with me.HAVE FAITH IN YOUR DREAMS
And in yourself to bring them about
And you will be given the means
To achieve your dreams and carry them out.
Of travelling and having fun
Think of blue sky and golden sun beams
And fun and laughter in the sun.
Relaxing on the wide expanse of sand
With the blue Pacific within your reach
With white-capped waves that never end.
I'd be pleased to be with you in that land
Experiencing all these wonderful things
Walking hand in hand.THE WATERFALL
My eye caught the glow
Of the mist hanging above the wall
As I watched the water flow.
Is one of the most comforting things I know
To see and feel and hear the call
Of the water as it falls below.THE OWL
On the branches of a tree
With penetrating eyes of love
Beckoning, 'Look at me'
Some people never do
The opportunity to stare
At the owl staring at you.
That flash at night
An unexpected surprise
A wonderous sight.
The owl continued to look at me
Until I was filled with love
For the owl in the tree.WE SOAR
On wings high above
With the earth below us
The land that we love.
We glide through the sky
O'er mountains and valleys
Higher and higher we fly.
Through the darkness of night
Breaking through the barrier
Gaining new sight.
In God's golden land
Exploring together
Holding your hand.
THE EAGLE I LOVE
A treat to the eyes
Rising to great height
A wonderful surprise.
With phenomenal sight
Flying all day
A vision of delight.
Above in the sky
Circling and soaring
Makes me feel high.
He flies high above
Seemingly having fun
The eagle I love.I PAINT YOU A SUN
To brighten your day
May it shine upon you
As you go on your way.
As you are walking alone
My sun will shine bright
And light your way home.
If it should happen to rain
Just look at my sun
And you will have sunshine again.
And whatever you do
You will feel the sun's golden ray
When you have my sun with you.THE RAINBOW OF LIGHT
And have clear and keen sight
And marvel with wonder and awe
Of the colors of a rainbow of light.
Clear and bright above
Filled to the brim
With Life, Light, and Love.THE HEART AND THE STAR
May your star be a heart
Wherever you are
May they never be apart.
And the star be blue
Complementary colors
Given specially to you.
With the energy of love
As your blessings abundantly grow
Showering down from above.
And be good to you
Glowing every night
As stars do.
As the red and the blue intertwine
Forming a perfect energy vibration
The purple ray so fine.WHAT COUNTS
I shall think of you all the way
Tomorrow is so far away
What counts is what we do today.BUTTERFLIES AND BUBBLES
Bubbles in the air
Beautiful, brilliant, bright
Floating freely there.
As butterflies flutter around
Floating softly to the ground.
To watch the butterflies flow
And to watch you too
As pretty bubbles you blow.
I am free of troubles
Like being in a fairyland
Of butterflies and bubbles.THE BIRD OF PARADISE
An attraction to entice
A beauty to behold
The bird of paradise.
Every color of the color fan
Sky blue and violet
Pink and rustic tan.
That fly across the sky
None but the bird of paradise
Can make me feel so high.
I feel as peaceful as a dove
To me nothing else matters
As I'm filled with joy and love.THE UNICORN
From its forehead projects a straight horn
His name you'll know of course
The mythical animal, the unicorn.
I send to you
To bring you good luck
May your every wish come true.DON'T PUSH THE RIVER
Go with the flow
Be to life a giver
And life will take you in tow.
To what others say
But form your own opinions
As you go on your way.
And things are getting tight
Give yourself a rest
And look into the light.
Or you have a problem or strife
Deny you have a lack
And learn to love your life.
And everything seems cold above
Deny you are forelorn
And set your mind on love.
Be like the teapot, what the heck
Sing merrily, even though
You are in hot water up to your neck>GONE FISHING
Another long day
Putting in time
Working for pay.
I have to be here
When I want to be free
Every day of the year.
And continue to learn
Of new places and adventures
And never return.
And stop my wishing
And put up a sign
'Gone Fishing'.BUTTERFLIES
Learning to fly
Exhilarating with glee
High up in the sky.
Beautiful colored wings
Brilliantly beaming bright
Wonderful, magnificent things.
I would be there too
I would be a butterfly
And fly away with you.IF I HAD MY WAY
I would be free as a blue jay
Just released from its cage
If I had my way
From the east coast to San Francisco Bay
And visit Europe and the blue cliffs of Dover
If I had my way.
Journeying each and every day
And go to South America and visit Peru
If I had my way.
To see the last of the sun's golden ray
The incredible sunsets I love the best
If I had my way.
And enjoy incredible scenery all the way
Encompassing nature's beautiful sights
If I had my way.
And not be forced to work for pay
And be free from troubles and strife
If I had my way.
And frolic freely and feel gay
And hold peace and serenity in my hand
If I had my way.
One other thing, if I may
I'd have a friend to hold my hand
If I had my way.BY THE SEA
The incredible sea that I love
To walk in the sun and the wind and the rain
And to watch the seagulls soaring above.
Barefoot with your hand in mine
And smile and laugh and happy be
And experience the reality of no time.
With animals running to and fro
And feel the breeze in my hair
By the sea I long to go.
To pick up seashells and driftwood
I would ask for no more
By the sea I would be if I could.THE SUNBOW
A beautiful SUnbow
It will give you a lift
When your spirits are low.
From the red to the blue
And joy and hapinness
Will come to you.
