Beauty

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
Beauty is in all things.
Beauty is in the sky.
Beauty is in the water ever so blue.
Beauty is the winter when trees are covered with snow.
Beauty is the summer when you smell and see the flowers grow.
Beauty is all things big and little.
Beauty is in all things,
Black and white.
Beauty is in all things, you and me.
Beauty is all around us...can't you see?

Singing

"I'm singing, I'm singing
So please leave me alone.
I don't need your help,
I'll do it on my own.
I have a new note.
I have to work out
Which cannot be sung
If I don't move about."
We need you for choir
So please come right now.
"I'll come when I feel
I am ready to sing
So please stop laughing
It won't help me.
I'm singing, I'm singing
So please let me sing."

Power

To some power is guns
To some power is knifes
To some power is the ability to read, and write.
To some power is control
To some power is a fist
To some like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. power was words.
To some power is like a trapped animal trying to get out of a cage.
To some power is love
To some power is art
To some power is money
To me power is knowledge
So what is power to you?
