Why are the simple things in life so hard?

Who decides what is right or wrong?

Not everything is set in black and white,

So why do you turn your back on the grey inbetween?

If it is not wrong to love,

Then why do you judge it so?

The purest things are never simple,

How can you scorn what you don't understand?

Our hearts make decisions,

When our minds are closed to reason.

Must we freeze the fire kindling inside,

Just because others say it isn't right?

Spring

The sun is shining,

Daffodils are in bloom,

Shaking their golden heads in a warm, gentle breeze,

Spring is in the air.

There are baby geese by the lake,

Their fluffy little feathers glistening in the sun,

As the proud new dad warns off anyone who gets too near,

Spring is in the air.

Hidden in the hedgerow,

Two little ears come into view,

A tiny nose twitches, sniffing the air,

The easter bunny delivered after all,

As a pair of cotton tails nibble and hop through the undergrowth,

Spring is in the air.

The sun shines on fields of yellow,

As people bask in its long awaited warmth,

Children run and play over fields of green,

Sounds of joy and laughter everywhere,

Spring is in the air.

Remember Me?

Do you remember me?

The one you always left behind,

When you were laughing behind my back,

Did you know that the joke was on you?

Did you think you hurt me?

I was the one that left you behind,

I never let you hold me back,

I had much more fun without you.

You thought you were better than me,

But you were always trailing behind,

And I never once looked back,

You see, I was always a better person than you.

Maybe

I see him around now and then,

A smile can say so much,

And when I see him again,

I know what I must do.

Give him my number,

Find out his name,

Maybe one day I'll call him,

And finally win his heart.

But life is never that easy,

Anything could happen,

Perhaps he will turn from me,

And my dreams will turn to dust.

Jester

What's up Jester?

Why do you look so sad?

Spin your face around my harlequin friend,

It can't really be that bad.

I know you have a bright-eyed smile,

I painted it on myself,

That's the face I want to see,

When you're sitting on the shelf.

Cheer up Jester,

You're better than the rest,

It'll be our little secret,

That you're the one I love the best.

With your comical expressions,

You never fail to make me smile,

You're the one who always knows what's going on,

So sit down here and comfort me for a while.

T. Modern

I'll never understand modern art,

With its blank canvases and squares,

A piece of wood dangled from the ceiling,

Or just a row of metal chairs.

People pay millions of pounds,

For something that could be a childs drawing,

To them it must seem brilliant,

It can't just be me that thinks it's boring.

I saw a man spend five minutes looking at a shelf,

Probably figuring out for how much it would sell,

Was it even supposed to be a display?

Looking around the room, who could even tell?

When did art become so boring?

Where has the artistic imagination gone?

No real talent needed no more,

Just splash some paint on a door and call it 'Death of John.'

If this is what they mean by modern art,

Then I'm proud to be retro in every way,

No blocks of wood or half chairs for me,

I'd much rather fill my space with a Degas or Monet.

Saviour

When I nearly faltered You took my hand and led me away,

When temptations became strong and my will was weak,

You reminded me of how far I had come.

If it wasn't for You I would have slided back into the abyss,

It is nice to know that You are still there.

You didn't just help me up and then leave me to dangle there alone,

Yours are the hands that hold me up high.

I never have to worry about falling because Your grip on me is strong,

And I know that You will never let me fall.

When times get tough and old temptations rear their ugly heads,

You are always there to take me by the hand,

My guiding light to lead me through the darkness.

You gave Your life so that I never have to be alone,

Even in the blackest night the darkness never overwhelms me,

I am never afraid because I know that You are never far away.

My Saviour and my Friend.
