Lines Like Flowers
 (Volume 2)

May my lines like flowers
Bring you joy and happiness
May they to your llips bring a smile
On days when everything looks grey

May they give you dreams of love
When you close your eyes in sleep
May they be visions of hope
While you wish upon a star

May they be a soft caress
Like a warm breeze at night
Or the touch of a loving hand
When you feel lonesome and blue

May they be like the raindrops
That fall very gently and soft
On a warm summer evening
So flowers will gaily bloom at dawn

May they bring you the songs of the sea
The rush of waves, surf or tide
Or the cries of the gulls flying by
Over beaches and silver sands

May they be like the murmur
Of the tall and shady pines
Leaning at night against a sky
Of a dark velvet studded with stars

May they be the whisper of the palms
On a quiet sunny little island
While an orange moon smiles
Happy with the ecstatic decor

May they be whatever you want them
To be, whenever you want them to be
Because I wrote them only
For you, to you, because of you

May my lines like flowers
Always brighten your nights, your days
May you always find a never
Ending love in my lines.
