SPIRIT

Over the hill under the bridge

Wherever I go I know you'll follow...

You're the buzz of the bees

You're the one within who'll never die...

You're the spray of the sea

The blade of a knife

You're the one in the grave,

You're my life to save

You and me birds of a feather

Now anf forever

Over the hills under the bridge

Where I go I know you'll follow.

Together we are the world."

 

Emotions

The flowers are gone,

The day has gone wrong,

But my life is still good

Just like it should.

Sometimes it's bad,

Which makes me so sad,

But my life is still good,

Just like it should.

Some days there is sorrow,

Which could be tomorrow,

But other times there is anger,

Confusion, and doubt,

And other times there is joy,

Happiness, and glee about.

But today my emotions are mixed, yet

none are ever fixed,

So my life is still good,

Just like it should.
