The Picture
A picture hangs outside in the hall
It’s small, a print, not much value at all.
“But” whenever it catches my eye,
It sets me of thinking, I wish to know why?
The light and shadows so skilfully planned,
Like joy and sorrow in a master’s hand.
Skilfully outlined each part there shown.
For the lessons of life all must claim as their own.
The sunlight over the meadows green
Tell of happy days, tell of joys supreme.
Events that make a life worth living,
Of children’s laughter, the joy of giving.
Noble thought’s you helped to impart,
To a sister, a brother or strangers’ heart.
Yes, the sunlight there makes me belief
God created man much joy to receive.
Shadows and dark lines to serve their goal,
For without them poor and empty the soul.
Shadows and dark lines, there for a reason
Adding deeps to lifetimes fleeting seasons.
Eyes filled with tears, conquering strife
Make us reach for things that give purpose to life.
Or the mysteries of life we are left to wonder
Whilst here on the earth and the sky we’re under.
There’s a picture outside in the hall,
Mother one’s gave it, did she realise at all?
That whenever it seems to catch my eye,
It set’s me off thinking and I don’t know why.
Running away
1 Running away from my life, running as fast as I can
Running where ever too destiny leads me now,
Running away from a man.
Chorus:
Love, love please leave me alone, don’t want to know you no more
Sweet peace come back again, let all things be again, just as they were once before.
2 Brought up to do what is right, I know this love’s must not be,
Love oh please set me free, this game is costing me.
My soul, my children, my home.
Chorus:
3 Just like an innocent child, blindly I fell for your charms
Let ev’ry word you said fill up my heart, my head
Let life begin in your arms.
Chorus:
4 Now as I’m looking at truth, counting the loses, the gain.
There is a war inside, one restless, endless fight
Bringing me nothing but pain.
Chorus:
Where is the person I knew? Once so contented and free.
Loving her work, her play carefree each new born day
It’s all I’m longing to be.
Chorus:
I need to
I need to face another day, another day without you
I need to face the road that meets the sunset on my own.
Whilst all around I see the things that ever tell about you
Thus, constantly reminding me-----your gone
I need to sing another song, another song without you
I need to find the harmony we used to be alone
Still I can hear the happy tunes we used to sing together
Thus, constantly reminding me your gone.
I need to dream another dream, another dream without you,
I need to find the light that shines within me all alone.
Whilst golden cords of friendship try to find you
My dearest friend, the one I know has gone.
Sweet sanctuary
I always seem to end up here in this sweet sanctuary,
I always seem to end up here, alone, with only me.
In this small place, so peaceful, a world that’s truly mine,
This place, this space so silent, where time’s hard to define.
Where I can think and ponder, or say a little prayer
Where I can cry in anguish, wishing you were there.
Where I can laugh at memories, or have my soul’s complaint,
Where I can lie in solitude, when I am feeling faint.
Where harmony is found, and lines are soft
Upon my wondering mind,
Where dreams take place, and hopes are made
When you I cannot find
Where seasons I see while years pass by
And new sweet songs appear
Whenever tragedies fall
Or joys are found, Yes!! I always end up here.
And where’s this place? You ask me now
Where all my secrets bloom, I tell you softly—
This small place is the sanctuary of my room.
A song, the Guitar cords are there but I do not recall the tune
