week 267 ~ it’s hard to leave

it’s hard to leave
but time to go
you’d best believe
it’s hard to leave
and yes I’ll grieve
loving them so
it’s hard to leave
but time to go

week 264 ~ reach out and touch you

reach out and touch you
as you float away
it’s all I can do
can’t make this time stay

as you float away
have to dry my tears
can’t make this time stay
then your smile appears

have to dry my tears
you’re where you should be
then your smile appears
that makes me happy

you’re where you should be
I love you you know
that makes me happy
now before I go

I love you you know
it’s all I can do
now before I go
reach out and touch you

week 206 ~ which box marked fragile holds your heart

which box marked fragile holds your heart
he asks I don’t know what to say
I wrap my past pack it away
there isn’t any easy part
and though it’s time for change to start
each object holds a memory
together they have defined me
now some will stay and some will go
but I am who they made me so
my heart’s in every box you see

thanks to Sam373 for the inspiration

week 198 ~ catch a moment and hold it in your hand

catch a moment and hold it in your hand
this isn’t something everyone could do
and though things haven’t work out as you planned
you’ve had the fortitude to see them through
the glass may be half empty or half full
but does it really matter now you’re here
loss doesn’t have gravitational pull
so leave it on the shore don’t draw it near
your boat is ready now it’s time to go
you’re ready too though you can’t quite believe
that’s true you can’t deny it either so
take a deep breath and bet on your reprieve
it seems the whole world is singing you on
look around once push off it’s time you’re gone
