'Heavenly'
Great light of the world
O'miracle that is us
Everyday a gift
The song strums at my heart cords
Truth burning bright as the sun!
'Beware'
Be very afraid
Tread wisely crossing that path
Instincts are born here
Claws and teeth, and blood and bone
Beware! Of a mother's love!
'Starry Night'
Gazing at the stars
Making a wish as I do
Wonder...is he true?
A sign just now would be great
Suddenly, a shooting star!
'MoM'
Her love still burns bright
With me every step taken
Never forgotten...
Forever a part of me
For love knoweth not the grave.
'Wannabe free'
She's contemplating...
Realizes things have to change
A quiet planning
The path is opening wide
Thoughts, flowing as a river.
'Devine'
Satin smooth texture
Ooh so heavenly devine
senses open up
as frozen in the moment
chocolate dances on my tongue. : )
