Pushing You On The Swing

Pushing You On The Swing

By Lord R.e. Taylor

So many times, I pushed you on that swing

But that was during the warmth of summer

Now, our time is really limited

The days and months have passed too quickly

Winter’s snows and cold are coming way too soon

But know I will be here to push you again when spring returns

Leave The Children Be

Leave The Children Be

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Children want to learn

They want to be creative

It is up to all of us

Their parents and everyone

Encourage those kids

Show them what to do

Then simply back away

Let them do it their way

If that means they make a mess

Just remember you did the same thing

Maybe even worse

Just hope that they never grow out of it

The world needs more creative people

A Shed On The Beach

A Shed On The Beach

by Lord R.e. Taylor

It would be so great to be on an island

Find yourself a shed on the beach

It doesn’t matter what it looks like

If it is all beat up….so what

It will have a character a new house wouldn’t

Think about waking up right after dawn

Looking out from your bed

Seeing the peace of the palm trees

Hearing the sounds of the waves on the sand

And the calls of a hundred birds from the trees

All because you found a shed only feet from the beach

The Universe Is Yours

The Universe Is Yours

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Sleep little one

The universe is there for you

You know that it is so close

Within reach of your dreams

So, as you grow keep your mind open

Always let your heart be free

And the universe will be yours

In Love With A Star

In Love With A Star

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I spent so many nights alone

Looking from my bedroom window

There is always a star

Yellow, it twinkles in the dark

Resting on top of my gate

How could I not love it

A Proposal

A Proposal

By Lord R.e. Taylor

There is a place

A most romantic place

Whenever I see it

I think of you

And I wish that we were there

I want to look into your eyes

Remember how much I love you

And ask you a most important question

I can only hope all those years

That they have not changed your feelings

Because I want to spend my days together

With you as my soulmate

So, I hope that your answer will be yes

When I ask you to marry me

A Chance To Live

A Chance To Live

by Lord R.e. Taylor

We see that you are in pain

And we know that we may never understand

But please know that we will be here for you

So know that you no longer have to hide

Showing us that you are always okay

Your bravery is not helping you

It is just going to make you worse and worse

Until the day comes which we do not want to see

The day comes when your heart beats its last

And you die at your own hand

So please curl up, cry, do whatever

Please, just give yourself a little hope

Maybe just enough to talk things over

Maybe just enough to allow you a chance to live
