untitled

bring forth the evidence
when will I breathe again

familiar chains
a little prison of
too many strange and forgotten dreams
foreordained
a riddled vision love
winds of change tearing at the seams

long live the new day
long live and fade away

I have lived
for a thousand years
a hundred pass me every day
I forgive
with a thousand tears
growing deeper every day

spread your wings and fly away
spread your wings and live today

the unintended, total opposite effect

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile, and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Love you, Grandpa
