Songbirds and Flowers
Look high to the skies with me
Over the flower-beds, beyond the lea.
Raven and blackbird fly close to heaven
Daylight delivering an angelic blessing.
~~~Thank You Lord Jesus~~~
Joie de vivre, oh joy of living.
Euphony and beauty, nature is giving.
Sun kisses the petals ~ brightens each feather
Under God's wing, hides creation's endeavour.
Songbirds and roses, we always will treasure.
~~~Thank You Lord Jesus~~~

Darling Summer
Summer forgot to say 'farewell'
she is on vacation, I can tell...
winter is standing in once more
with gusty winds across the shore.
She comes and goes as is her right
Mr Sun travels with her ~ that's alright,
because tomorrow on the noonday train,
darling summer will be ours again.
Life is dark when she's not here
but a first-class ticket calms our fear
glowing warmth will comfort each bone
when darling summer comes back home.

Delete Every Line
His poor heart is broken
a soul in distress,
sad words ever spoken
there's no happiness.
He is lonely, so lonely
and pines for her only
for her tender caress.
She hears his voice calling
at the end of the day
teardrops keep falling
her world in disarray.
She is lonely, so lonely
and yearns for him only
but she's travelling his way.
Two hearts were broken
but the sun soon will shine
unkind words that were spoken
'delet every line'.

Sir Christopher Wren 1632-1723
In the archives may be seen
a well-known name, an evergreen.
Professor of Astronomy at Oxford,
the great and famous Architect
.... Sir Christopher Wren....
After the Great Fire of London
in sixteen sixty-six, Sir Christopher
designed St. Paul's Cathedral
and many other London churches
and buildings; there was no ending
to his achievements.
Born in England,
he died in England,
and today we honour such
a great name from history.

Fantasy Of Roses
Sunbeams are shining ~ O yeah O yeah,
Bringing volumes of happiness this February day
Taking me back to a wedding in May...
Love came suddenly, and forever to stay;
Together we lived in the valentine way,
With three bonny babies, what more can I say?
There is gold on my finger in sparkling array.
To my dear kith and kin, I now humbly convey
A fantasy of roses, in a pink floral bouquet
To celebrate the magic of St.Valentine's Day.

Silver Earrings
When you fall in love with love
your heart and soul will tell you true,
and if you wear your silver earrings
on wings of song he'll fly to you.
Over the rainbow you'll be floating,
love's old sweet story must be told;
you will wear bright silver earrings
with his wedding band of gold.
Through the years you both will cherish
magic moments ~ forever new...
so always wear bright silver earrings
and on wings of love he'll fly to you.

Amorous Interlude
A brown dress was far from romantic
Oh my! What must she do?
Tonight is the night
She meets her beloved
At their magical rendezvous.
The brown dress she changed
For a new gown of blue
And as they met in the moonlight
Hopes of love were born anew
Kisses were sweet at the rendezvous.
Brown dresses are far from romantic
But she knew just what to do...
One marvellous night,
She shone with delight
As amour lit up the whole rendezvous.

One Fine Day In Heaven
You are the wine
you are the dove
and you are the wedding ring
sparkling with love.
Tomorrow we'll meet
and float on the lake.
We'll gather red roses
as Burns' prose discloses.
How romantic the hours
up in heaven above.
Then we will shine
in the name of true love,
hearing the organ play
'For The Wings of a Dove'
Mendelssohn reigns
Up in heaven above.
You are the wine
you are the dove

God's Love Is Ours
God is always with us
He is forever there
Our Idol and our Mentor
Should we falter or despair.
He helps us when we're lonely
And no-one seems to care,
Without Him we would surely fail
And sink beyond repair.
But God's the One to give us strength
To cope each long day through
With love and understanding
He's our rock, so strong and true.
He sits in power and glory
Upon His throne on high
Waiting just to welcome us
To His Mansion in the sky.

The Birmingham Six
They came out of prison
To face the real world
Those long-suffering men,
Seventeen years they had served.
Seventeen years for a bomb crime
They did not commit...how can we
Be so wrong, when on the Jury
we sit.
I quote words from
Gilbert and Sullivan's
Trial by Jury:
'Now, jurymen, hear my advice.
All kinds of vulgar prejudice
I pray you set aside.
With stern judicial frame of mind
From bias free of every kind
This Trial must be tried'.
