Colors of a rainbow
That's what we paint for you
Each one a ray of sunshine
To help and get you through

Days seem long and lonely
But here we are to say
Our Angel sends a special gift
With colors sweet array

Rainbows here to warm you
To give you gentle peace
God Himself has made it glow
With love that will not cease

So if you're feeling lonely
Or you're feeling blue
Always please remember
These colors glow for you

To soothe the heart that's aching
To make it through the day
To let the sun shine on you
In a very special way

Each day a new beginning
With shadows in the past
You give us all a greater gift
With courage that will last

SMILE

You give me such warm feelings
That my lip begins to curl;
I start to feel all giddy
Like a little school girl!

My eyes start to squint
And my cheeks start to blush;
Everyone keeps teasing me
As if I've got a secret crush!

Well, I say, it's no secret
That you sure make me smile,
And there's no sense in hiding -
'Cause smiling's always in style!

AUTUMN

I have fallen somewhere in your life,
Did I trip, did I stumble or did I jump?
Does it matter as long as I am here?

I have fallen somewhere in your heart,
Through a crack in that armor you wear so well,
But does it really matter as long as I am here now?

I realize that my place here is precarious at best,
But I will do what I can to remain balanced,
For I don’t want to fall so far as can’t be seen.

And I’m no fool to not recognize that I have company here,
He sits so close I can smell the western horizon on him,
But is he your true reason here, or is it time for a past love to win?

I don’t have the common sense any longer to know if I should leave,
But patience is a virtue I know all too well, and she sits with me now.
I’m almost drowned out by him and his wily little ways,
But who here is begging for forgiveness, you or me?

It’s funny how I bleed and you never really see it.

connected

Just when I needed you most, there you were. I didn't have to say a word, you just knew. Just like you always do. We're connected with a special bond. For of you I am so very fond. We're friends connected at the heart. Nothing can succeed in tearing us apart.

LITTLE THINGS

Too often we don't realize
what we have until it is gone;
Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry - I was wrong."
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
we hold dearest to our hearts;
And we allow foolish things
to tear our lives apart.



Far too many times we let
unimportant things into our minds;
And then it's usually too late
to see what made us blind.



So be sure that you let people know
how much they mean to you;
Take that time to say the words
before your time is through.



Be sure that you appreciate
everything you've got
And be thankful for the
little things in life
that mean a lot.
