Friends in Space

We only part to meet again.

Thou boundaries & time are far in between

Remembering shall always bring you near

Creating a vision, my minds unclear.

Your words appear inside my heart.

As pictures I have often sought.

Longing for those tender moments

As we have dreamed to oft in torment

The time has come to create reality.

Changing the vision to a possiblity

No more hiding , No more dreaming, No more fear

For what we've longed for is finally here.

Reach out your hand, don't be afraid

For the time you ask is very near

Before to long loneliness will disappear.

Just take one step to live again

Starting with the hand of your friend

@copywrited:LB5/1996

As the Ocean waves meet the edge of sand,

I long to reach for your gentle hand,

So far away I miss you still,

Yet your not far at all

For I can feel

That our hearts are joined with waves thru air,

You know my thoughts wish I were there.

Before to long we are together again...

For nothing can keep us apart my endearing friend

REFLECTIONS
I've only lived a spec in time.

Looking back so much history I find.

So many amazing things have happened in just 100 years.

How far we've come from horse's & wagons,

to planes and automobiles.

Life seems to go so much faster these days.

It's harder to catch our breath.

Something is always in a new developement

and the old is put away to rest.


Waiting for the right time when

they again will be appreciated

May it not be too late to learn their value

Of what they have created.


Will we ever learn from our mistakes?

Sure we can read what history has written

But you'll never capture what memories are stored

in the hearts of our ancestors as they sat on that old wooden porch


Those who truly know the value of these simple things

Know that by our grandparents love, they bring

the generations of traditions and hope

that will always make us sing


For the day will come when our hair is gray

And We'll hope that our grand-children will one day say

Tell us about the times of yesterday.
