Atop
The stone bridge
He
Tread lightly

Decked out in
Top hat
Looking
Sprightly

While
Moon up above
Shining
Brightly

At
The scene of his
Death
So unsightly

Ghostly visage
Did haunt
Almost
Nightly

He could have sworn he saw her there
A vision of beauty fine and fair

He could have sworn he saw her there
Curvaceous body and flaxen hair

He could have sworn he saw her there
He stole a glance, he didn’t stare

He could have sworn her saw her there
Should he speak, did he dare?

He could have sworn he saw her there
Until she vanished into thin air

They’re coming, coming for me
I must move along, I must flee

They’re coming, coming for me
I have to find a safe place to be

They’re coming, coming for me
I’m just a small child, can’t they see

They’re coming, coming for me
I only wish to be happy and free

They’re coming, coming for me
I’m begging on bended knee

They’re coming, coming for me
Can’t they just let us be

The rising sun
Aligned just right
Radiated through
The bare tree branches

Illuminating the cool morning mist
With an amber glow
As it lifted slowly
From the expanse of meadow

While a passing cloud
Lazily draped itself
Atop the lone tree

A fitting final touch
To a masterful composition

Satisfied at last with Her work
Mother Nature moved on
To Her next blank canvas

Let a smile be your umbrella That’s what they always say Keep your true feelings Neatly tucked away

Let a smile be your umbrella That’s what they always say Give everyone around you A much brighter day

Let a smile be your umbrella That’s what they always say Let others think your persona Is upbeat, bright and gay

Let a smile be your umbrella That’s what they always say The price for pent up emotions Eventually to pay
