Rescue Me

Rescue me from every days

From same old things

And bad clichés.

Let's go some place no one knows

Where nothing matters 

And nothing shows.

Forget the norm, we'll just go mad

And live a life

We never had.

Rescue me and make me smile

And I'll know peace

At least a while.

A Lovely Kind of Day

It was a lovely kind of happy

     Joyous melancholy day;
Friends and family gathered all
     From near and far away.

We hugged and smiled, laughed and cried
     Raised glasses for a toast;
Remembering sweet moments past
     And people we loved most.

We talked for hours, ate good food
     And mourned how fast time flies;
Excited we could be together,
     Knowing soon there'd be good-byes.

And as the night came to a close
     We lingered by the door;
This precious time was ending,
     Though our hearts still yearned for more.

It was a lovely kind of happy
      Joyous melancholy day;
And if the day could last forever,
      Forever's where we'd stay.
