Sometimes our dreams seem curtailed
Review your faith, it never fails
Lasso your elusive stars
Fulfilled dreams are not too far
Live the life you imagined
Create it as you fashioned
Revel in each day’s re-birth
Give thanks you were put on earth
Recall the dreams of long ago
Create them in daily time and know
Thou life seems short changed
Remember happiness is within range
Start living your dreams, why wait!
Open the welcome gate
“Why reach for the moon
When you have the stars?
*Inspired last line in the film, "Now Voyager" (1942) when Bette Davis says to Jerry, "Why reach for the moon, when we have the stars."
Meaning: If you reach for the moon, or reach for the stars, you are going to achieve something great, or do something challenging.

SING A SONG OF JOY (c) By Polly Guerin
The Singing Butler by Jack Vettriano
Take life easy and grow
Sing a song pianissimo
Build up your courage and go
Keep upbeat time in fortissimo
Start off with a refrain
There’s wisdom to gain
There’s wisdom to gain
Take life easy and grow
Sing a song pianissimo
Build up your courage and go
Keep upbeat time in fortissimo
When joy arrives you’ll know
Shout loud sing in crescendo
Shout loud sing in crescendo
There’s more joy in life
So sing a new song
So sing a new song
As joy bubbles up in laughter
It’s diminuendo you’re after
It’s diminuendo you’re after
Sing, sing for the joy of living
Musical scales are so forgiving
Musical scales are so forgiving
They lift your spirits beyond the pale
Staccato notes never fail
Staccato notes never fail
Reveling in a sense of well being
Let me hear you singing.
Let me hear you singing.

GIVE ALL to LOVE (c) By Polly Guerin
Love by Pop Artist Robert Indiana
Do not awake to find
Other loves await us
Never give up on love
Mysterious and beautiful
Take the hand of wanting
A mother yearns to kiss
So many brave men gone
I am old with wondering
The world is full of weeping
Kiss the child take the hand
Say ‘Yes’ to your hopes and dreams
Open your heart to happiness
Eternal Love remains.
GIVE ALL to LOVE ©
Valentine’s Day 2/14/2011
Do not awake to find
That Love is gone
Other loves await us
You can right a wrong
Plant love’s forgiveness
Heartbreak abates
Never give up on love
It’s never too late
Mysterious and beautiful
Kiss a stranger’s lips
Take the hand of wanting
A world full of riffs
A lonely child awaits us
Famished and forlorn
A mother yearns to kiss
Cold lips just born
So many brave men gone
Deaf to a lover’s song
I am old with wondering
Why the reason Why
The world is full of weeping
Must love be denied?
Kiss the child take the hand
Send love across the land
Say ‘Yes’ to your hopes and dreams
Life is never what it seems
Open your heart to happiness
Spread the Gift
Eternal Love remains.
