A TIME TO SHARE The time has come to share the thoughts We feel down deep inside. The love, the hopes, the fantasies, The fears, the foolish pride. From deep within the hearts of all There whispers a longing, beckoning call To be ourselves; to shout and sing; To give this life our all. But many walk the paths of life Without ever really knowing The love that's free to everyone, Or the pleasure gleaned from showing How much they really care. So if we share our secret thoughts I‘m sure we will discover That countless others feel the same... Life need not be a losing game. We'd realize it's not too late To reap the harvest of our fate Or change the tunes, or shun the dressings Or heap our many natural blessings Or show how much we care. If each but gives a tiny inch The inch becomes an endless mile. With honest words and actions We can help each other smile. A smile releases happiness And happiness a song, And if we still can laugh and sing This life is not all wrong. Let's make the time to share the thoughts We feel down deep inside. The love, the hopes, the fantasies; The fears, the foolish pride. by © Barbara A. Duits 2000 Return to Index HomePage
