WILDFLOWERS
~by: O' Puppy~
Dressed by nature, kissed with love
Reaching up, to stars above
Fields of beauty, dewed by night
Waiting for, each dawning light
Standing tall, when day awakes
All along, earths quiet lakes
Hidden splendors, come undone
Far beneath, a morning sun
Waterfalls, in forests green
Heavens setting, sight unseen
Color wheels, red white and blue
Yellows, purples, set a view
Flying insects, buzz around
In a meadow, filled with sound
Wildlife moving, cautiously
Yet the flowers, stand so free
Wonder why, they call them wild
When they seem, so meek and mild
Precious blooms, these gifts so faint
Live unnoticed, without complaint

~Venice~
John Addington Symonds (1840–93)
VENICE, thou Siren of sea-cities, wrought
By mirage, built on water, stair o’er stair,
Of sunbeams and cloud-shadows, phantom-fair,
With naught of earth to mar thy sea-born thought!
Thou floating film upon the wonder-fraught
Ocean of dreams! Thou hast no dream so rare
As are thy sons and daughters, they who wear
Foam-flakes of charm from thine enchantment caught!
O dark brown eyes! O tangles of dark hair!
O heaven-blue eyes, blonde tresses where the breeze
Plays over sun-burn’d cheeks in sea-blown air!
Firm limbs of moulded bronze! frank debonair
Smiles of deep-bosom’d women! Loves that seize
Man’s soul, and waft her on storm-melodies!
John Addington Symonds (1840–93)
~ALWAYS~
Lyrics to Always
By Irving Berlin-1925
Intro
Everything went wrong,
And the whole day long
I'd feel so blue.
For the longest while
I'd forget to smile,
Then I met you.
Now that my blue days have passed,
Now that I've found you at last.
I'll be loving you Always
With a love that's true Always.
When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand Always.
Always.
Days may not be fair Always,
That's when I'll be there Always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.
I'll be loving you, Always
With a love that's true Always.
When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand Always.
Always.
Days may not be fair Always,
That's when I'll be there Always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.
