Happy is a place, where all my ducks are in a line,
Happy is a state, that always makes me warm inside
Happy is a smile that rushes, as I close my eyes,
Happy is a memory, held after long goodbyes.

Happy I was in those arms, holding oh, so tight
Happy as I’d wondered if I never, ever might.
Happy is fulfilling, in good order, many dreams,
Happy may need sacrifice, be harder than it seems.

Happy is a promenade above a perfect beach
Happy knowing you deserve, a heaven within reach
Happy is to stretch beyond, to brave fire or snow,
Happy could be holding on, for others, letting go.

Happy is a vision, all in crystal, winds of change
Happy, then you figure, things will never be the same.
Happy is, in knowing that you searched long and hard,
Happy when you find the one who sees your inner heart.

Happy is a bed at night, a blanket and a sheet,
Happy is a home where open souls can see and meet
Happy is a song that sings, in easy harmony
Happy is a simple thing, it brings me to my knees.

Happy is a hilltop with a climbing, shady walk,
Happy is an endless grin, a stimulating talk,
Happy is a mountain of contentment in your eyes,
Happy could be anywhere, if only you and I.

Happy is devoted, to your absolute truth, no
matter all the doubters, barely need for any proof.
Happy is a kind of faith, believing what you know,
Happy often follows where a giving river flows.

Happy is a golf course on a pretty, summer’s day,
Happy is in persevering, till the end you stayed.
Happy is full energy, on hardly any food,
Happy best, be careful now, as happy may be rude.

Happy makes me realise, there must be god above,
Happy makes it easy to concede to total love.
Happy spans across the oceans, over hail or sleet,
Happy is a dreamer, who suddenly feels complete.

EIGHT O'CLOCK, LATE O'CLOCK

Eight o'clock, late o'clock, story time, sleep
Eight o'clock, late o'clock in trouble, deep.

Trying out Mama, then dragging out Dad
Tryin' to be clever, don't mean to be bad.

Nine o'clock lights out, books all away
Night time, dreaming 'til another day…

Doodle-oot, doo, doo, doodle oot, doo,
doodle-oot, doo, doo, doodle oot, doo…!

Eight o'clock, wake up, breakfast time
Walk to school 'cause I don't have a bike.

Gotta’ get numbers though I want to learn words
Chatting to the sisters or chasing them dudes

Nine o'clock, line up, school bell is on
Ten o'clock, snacking to a skipping song

Doodle oot, doo doo…

Eleven o'clock and teacher knows best
Twelve o'clock, noon time, lunch or rest

One o'clock, back in, learnin' again,
Two o'clock, playing with paints and pens

Three o'clock, free o'clock, homeward bound
Four o'clock, more o'clock, hear that sound

Doodle oot, doo doo…

Five o'clock, six o'clock, coming seven,
Mama's hot dinner, taste's just like heaven

Eight o'clock, late o'clock, story time, sleep,
Eight o'clock, late o'clock in trouble deep.

Nine o'clock lights out, books all away,
Night time, dreaming 'til another day…

Have you ever seen,
such a pretty thing, as
a cats-eye at the beach?

How do waves throw,
spiral ovals, just
within our reach?

Over tide lines,
one caught my eye,
beside a stony ledge.

From the middle,
grew a little, curve
toward the edge.

Under all round, though
smooth on top, unique,
and yet refined.

As if my life, was
aging and the Gods
had sent a sign.

If you're looking
and you still have
true heartfelt, inner dreams.

There may appear
things of beauty, as
you've never, ever seen.

Sea snail caps,
operculum, my
seal and to protect.

Ever many, special
treasures, only
lucky, people get.

See what you get, when you love some one
They act all happy and glad,
Laughing, running, bouncing around,
Makes you forget you were mad.

See what you get, when you hug some one
Probably hugged right back,
Too many and then, you can’t help but grin
Better a pat on the back!

See what you get, when you give support,
Listen, encourage and help,
Winners, achievers or confident dreamers
Who care for more than themselves!

See what you get, when you smile a lot,
Everyone wants to know why
Seems like you’re hearty, having a party,
Contagious, spreading like fire!

See what you get, when you love someone,
Everyone thinks you’re insane
Doing good deeds, dropping your seeds,
Just making more of the same!

I see you in the morning
I see you in the night
I wonder if you’re lonely
Could I happen to be right?

I wonder if you’re lonely
As you stare away in space
Above me, not beyond me,
On our own, alone, the same

I wonder if you’re lonely,
I wonder if you’re brave
To open or expose a heart
Again, to knows it’s safe

I wonder if you’re lonely
Would you ever give a try
To one who’ll love you only
Safe as stars, up in the sky.

I wonder if you’re lonely
When the rain is coming down
Or if the wind is blowing
We’d laugh away your frown

I’ll be your fun companion
You can always call a friend
To laugh away or share good
times, forever till the end.

My kids don’t really like TV
They find it mostly boring
They read their books and play old games
Or run outside exploring

My girl she draws her dresses fine
My boy his lego shapes
Who’s seen so many good ideas
From one pair in a day

Whenever there is idle time
Or boredom is a threat
To know if they invent the play
No more fun, could you get

Wherever there is paper
Or a little pile of wood
Imagine if a helicopter
Landed on the roof

Out jumped a fairy princess
As the pilot flew away
She reads her rules and blows a kiss
Come back another day

We might design a rocket
Or we may create a plan
To never run out, ever
And to know how life is grand

You never get the thrill
Of find a new way or a first
When sitting on your bottom
Best get up before it bursts

Without a bit of effort
And the freedom to invent
You only get what you put in
For learning’s heaven sent.

Never Give Up On Your Dreams

[Sky TV Sport commentator Derek Rae wrote that the (zodiac) stars were
against Liverpool in the ‘05 European Champions League Soccer final...]

To Derek Rae the stars said no
but the mighty kop would not let go
their singing woke the gods, who said
miracles, this month, must wear red

Send a spirited, church-full city
twenty years of faithful dignity
familiar with grief and despair
all patient hearts to be repaired

Create a new, heroic story
beyond retold, forgotten glories, so
the world will know just what it means
to never, ever give up on your dreams !
Brendon Smith (2 Jun 2005)

I can tell, you’re a sweety

Happy soul, ready laugh,

I know you’ll grin and bear it,

‘cause you’ve got a heart

I can tell you’re a listener

With an acre of time

For a sister or blister,

Warm hug, gentle wine

I can tell you’re a winner,

Solid centre of gold,

For no fat, sum or ransom,

Will your heart be sold

I can tell, you’re a mother

Wonder cook, loyal wife

With a look and a figure,

To last, all your life

I can tell, you’re a lover

I want you as my friend

To be only, yours truly

Forever, till the end.

If heaven is now, then what are the rules
and where are the teachers
If heaven is now, just open the doors
All nature and beaches

If heaven is now, hey what do we do
With all of the stories
If heaven is now, the stars are all ours
our dreams and our glory

Grab each of your goals
and line them all up,
Release your passion
Living on love

Let go of old ways, yeah
Throw them all out
Hold tight and look forward,
‘Cause heaven is now!

If heaven is now, then what of the past
And who for the future?
If heaven is now, real love it will last
Some-one to be true to

If heaven is now, no worry is worth
The time that is wasted,
If heaven is now, just lessons to learn
Of more heavenly ways

In search of love or happiness, as never seen before
Of free and open laughter, ever crying out for more

Surviving through a winter, with little room to move, for
A smile to turn a shiver, over to a happy groove

(Chorus)
When all I see, inside your eyes, are
fragments of peace, just hold me tight
I'll be here as, the wind it blows
between the trees, our love will grow

And if our peace, is given room
and fragments into flowers bloom
with love or fun or fancy wine
As warm as sun will ever shine

Beside a rocky mountain, on soft or grassy mounds
near water falling fountains, our love it has no bounds

Above a city sleeping, below the town awakes, as
all around us struggle, only in good arms we're safe

(Chorus)

So if you're ever lonely, or feel your heart will burst
Go find your one and only, into their arms, do turn

Hold on to love or harmony, wherever it may be, and
link them all together, those fragments of peace
