MIRROR Do I see what is in front of me and realize, it's reflection? Or just that one's vision may be limited for thought of mind? I've learned so much and have more to consume in every direction. But when if this is all my mind can find? There is so much more to life, and giving this experience to others. would be kind. But all must learn to able one's self to reach perfection. And to feel serenity and learned, fulfilled for all is in the mind. For all to realize, I see myself and can feel the emptiness deep inside, That it's just a mirror or a reflection of my ideas and thoughts that I should abide Seeing is believing, but what that thought, can conceive, At a time one's self is not in the person. or thoughts aside, Is a distinct possibility all my not believe. But that mirror can bend, and the sight is not a guide. At this time it's just a reflection and I will retrieve. But believe what I SAW, use my ideas and thought, that I shall abide! Can I say to further the point, after a few to drink, Looking at that mirror, my ideas and thoughts, leads me to be inferior, And to other's to see that I have let myself sink. No longer can I even see myself in that same mirror.

HEAVEN BOUND I rise amongst the clouds being with you. Every time we touch, it's as if we both knew, Together our love will grow, and always be true, I feel as it I were with and angel whilst you are around, And secure in the feeling, our love is Heaven Bound. The winds are cold, thru the winter snow, But holding you in arms, and the warmth you show, We're like a cloud together, that the North winds blow, And the winds subside when our eyes are aglow. Our hearts beat together, a delightful sound. And I'm secure in the feeling our love is Heaven Bound. Just as a leaf, a sign has fallen to earth, And I thank the Lord for He has given us birth, A love to cherish and all that's it's worth, Your touch, your presence, your heart and most of all mirth. All thru the years our love will gain ground, And we'll be secure in the feeling. our love is Heaven Bound. There will be times our love might seem to wither, And the clouds separate, whilst the winds are bitter, But our hearts being well tuned, we'll listen to the sound, And once again, we'll be secure in the feeling our love is Heaven Bound. In our hearts , we know the years are due to take there toll, Our health, our bodies, but not our very soul, But with our love, eternity is our only goal, And I hear the winds opening the clouds above the ground, We are secure in the feeling, our love is Heaven Bound.
