Grace Burke

You came into this world with a healthy, lustrous cry
This wonder of a little boy, my handsome little guy
This love I had for you as I nursed you at my breast
Filled my heart to overflow as I held you to my chest.
...

My tears fall, but no one sees them
My cries echo in the emptiness of my life

No one is there to comfort me
...

Pick me a daisy, I don't need a rose
Give me the sunshine to tickle my toe
I don't need diamonds or jewelry of gold
I just need a lover to have and to hold.
...

We travel through this life, make friends along the way
Some will last forever, but many will not stay
We laugh, we learn, we cry and tell each other whims
But very seldom do we let another person in.
...

My dear friend, take my hand walk with me a way
Know that I will never leave, I will always stay
Nothing you can say will cost our friendship dear
I will always stand by you, of that you cannot fear.
...

Listen to the wind as it whispers through the trees
As it blows along the mountain top toward the open seas
Listen to it cry in the lonely dead of night
And hear it weep with sorrow for the human races plight.
...

I once knew of this man who left the world behind
To seek the simple life and see what he could find
A man alone, content, with his canine friend of one
Who saw life as a challenge, a painting not quite done.
...

By day he rides his horse, in the saddle he sits tall
Regardless of the weather, spring, winter, summer, fall
He watches 'oer his cattle as they graze upon his land
This cowboy of the midstates, a quite amazing man.
...

Softly, ever so softly, I walk the night
I lurk in the darkness
Afraid to be seen or heard
Afraid of being stepped on, for I am loneliness.
...

Down the path of life I trod
Passing years just seem to nod
And say I'll see you never more
Then one more year has shut it's door.
...

I cry, but no one hears my sorrow
I weep, but no one sees my tears
I am alone on a sea of loneliness
Lost, forgotten, adrift on the water.
...

The rain gently falls as it cleanses my soul
The sound of its rhythm makes me feel whole
The soft quiet splat as it hits the glass pane
Soothes all my woes, this beautiful rain.
...

The soft quiet splat as it hits the glass pane
Soothes all my woes, this beautiful rain.
...

I came to see you, the sky was all grey
I longed to be with you or for you to here stay
But your journey was over, I must now go alone
You're now free of pain, you now have gone home.
...

Come sit with me at sunrise as we watch the day begin
As the glorious rays of sunshine herald in a new day
Know that I am here for you if you ever need a friend
Talk to me, confide in me, know that I care.
...

Little Timmy stretched as he jumped down off his bed
His hair was all a tangled mess, curls around his head
His socks were brown and rumpled but he only had one shoe
He couldn't find the other one, now what was he to do.
...

I stood upon the mountain top among the many trees
Can anyone looking down notice it is me
I am lost can no one see that I am all alone
Won't someone come and rescue me and show me the way home.
...

I paused for just a minute on the roadway of my life
The path that I had travelled was filled with loss and strife
The distant far horizon seemed many miles away
I wished that I could stop and rest for just another day.
...

She's always there beside me no matter where I go
In the darkest of the night and even in the snow
She loves me as no other, she's loyal to the core
As far as a companion, I couldn't ask for more.
