If I Could Find The Perfect
Words To Say That Is Hidden
Down Deep In My Heart To Make

Everything Right I Would Say
Them Not Just Now And Then Because The Words Are Just For A
Moment And Only For A

Short Moment Or Two, I Would
Say Them While They Are On My
Lips, I Just Could Not Keep Them To

Myself, I Would Let Each Letter Fall
Ever So Slowly Because The Words
That Were Meet To Be Sheared

Between Your Heart And Mine
Sometimes They Be Very Painful
Words Or Words Of Love And Care

I Really Don't Want To Waste Any For
There Worth So Much To Some Else
So Choose Your Words Very Carefully

Because Each Word That Comes
Is Like Expensive Perfume Being
Poured Out On To The Ground.

Stuff You Can Say Everyday by D. Mullis

My son wrote a book of his personal, one liner quotes. Never underestimate the power of simple statements! A very interesting read!

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
