EXPRESSION OF LOVE

How do you express a feeling
That extends from the heart to the stars?
A feeling so strong that no man can contain
In even the strongest of bars.

These are the feelings I have in my heart
That extends to the depths of my soul,
These are the feelings you've given to me
To make my person whole.

These you have given me freely
Without asking for favors or pay,
The feelings I feel inside my heart
No words could ever convey.

All I can do is offer myself
In the same way you offered to me,
And pray that our friendship lasts
From this day through all eternity.

Back to the Beginning

Back to the beginning
Where it all began,
Back to the past
If you think you can.

We'd see a land
Beautiful and free,
A cloudless sky
An endless sea.

Peace and Love
Throughout this land,
With Love and harmony
Among each man.

It began like this
But saw its end,
When along came its foe
A thing called sin.

Sin went out,
Throughout this land,
Put hate and destruction
In every hand.

He entered the mind
And destroyed the Love,
The gentle sweet thing
That came from above.

Time went on
And sin grew stronger,
The way its going
He may rule longer.

We must combat
With this terrible foe
We'll put in Love
Where there's hate and woe.

We'll fight on
And win some day,
Between Love and hate,
Love must win someway.

Maybe someday
We'll be there again
Back to the beginning
Where it all began.

LOVES, LOVE

Love like a flower blooming
Grows more beautiful with time,
Strong is the heart forever beating,
Like a golden chime.

With the love I give to thee
I receive the love back twice,
And with the love I get from thee,
I return the love back thrice.

Stronger grows our love from day--
To everlasting day,
The more we love; the more we're loved,
With love to give away.

And so spreads
The loves love,.
0f those who
Love to LOVE!

This is typical of the "doodling" in the 1970s. Big flowers, flourescent colors and "LOVE" all over everything.

REALIZATION OF LOVE

The gentleness of night
Falls like a feather to the ground,
And the mystery of darkness
Brings silence all around.

And lying here beside you
Brings the realization of
What there is about you
That I so deeply love.

When the rains fall from the heavens
And the skies are dark as night,
You’ll hold me in your arms
Till the sun comes strong and bright.

And when the sun is shining
With the sky a brilliant blue,
I'll see a world of peacefulness
Loving only you.

SHIFTING SAND

Of here or there,
Of near or far,
Of past or present,
I’ve left my scar.

Of good or bad,
Of fate or chance,
Come love or hate,
I’ve took my stance.

I’ve felt my feelings,
Gave what I could,
Been shorted some,
Both bad and good.

From this point
Where do I stand
On ever changing,
Shifting, sand?

Keep on Truckin'

Remember this guy? This is from the '70's.
