    wishing well

why wont you work for me!
its just a wish thats meant for me.
everyone has a wish that they keep secretly
and noone can stop it from happening repeatidly
like a diary that someone has written
to anyone else my wish is forbidden
no one knows whats going on, they can’t
judge you for right or wrong
since I was just a kid, I throw pennies in
the wishing well, then I kept it secret
the wish I made I never did tell.
but sometimes it depends on whats inside
your heart
it never matters what the dream was about
or when it started
when ever i pass the wishing well dountown
I cant help but throw pennies in and listen to the sound
most of the time I wish the same thing
I hope it comes true , its like a dream
this wish is for a special love, i wish i could see again one day
I miss him so much since he had to go away
it’s where he is, that he must stay
we were just kids when they took him away
the wishing well brings him to me on special days
thats why I’m waithing for the wishing well to work again
thats how my dreams come true and thats how it all began
he knows I love him dearly and his image I don’t fear
I can almost touch him and smell him whenever he is near
I cant change nothing down here where im living
but nothing will stop me from accepting the love he’s giving
oh!precious wishing well what will you do, your all the hope I keep
Im gona continue throwing pennies in , watching them float down deep.
I’ll go on and make more wishes just like I did before
hopeing you will grant my wish for the love i most adore
even though its in my dreams, he still belongs to me
I’m the only one that sees him, he’s everthing to me.
this is a special kind of love, and no one has to know
Im asking you to send him back, to satisfy my soul
Oh wishing well I depend on you, it’s something
only you can do, I know you understand  me
you have mad me happy  and I have a
lot of faith in you , you know what i’m saying is true.
I’m gona keep on coming back , You’ll see
and each time that I do , I’ll throw in more than three
I’ll never stop this love you see, cause it’s a love
thats true to me
so would you please just work for me
and send my love so I  can see, that he
has not forgotten me.

oh my bones , they ache with pain.  it’s that old arthur acting up again . from head to toe, from my knees to my elbows.

would anyone understand, or do they even want to know.

the agony I feel I try not to let it show.

I go to the doctor to ask for relief ;

he looks at me with a sigh of grief.

he says he wants to help.

so he gives me meds for the pain.

this old arthur bothers me every day

it dont care come sun shine or rain.

just to pay the doctor bills is driving me insane.

why should i lie , i have nothing to gain.

I don’t like how it feels, I don’t like taking pills

and it shur don’t give me a thrill.

my toes are all crunched and they hurt a whole bunch.

whenever I go out somewhere, it hurts to walk..

I’m so out of breath I can hardly talk.

not to mention the fact that I even have pain in the small of my back.

Oh’ I know its no crime to hear someone wine,

but I wish I didnt have so much pain all the time.

a wheelchair might help but I dont like to bother..

I’m not the kind to make fuss or hollar. I try not to worry,

but with all these aches ……..

when I do find a lover ..they wind up to be fakes.

see..I don’t want my family to think Im a flake

so I have to put up with it no matter what it takes.

can you imagine how my fingers have a twist, it hurts all the

way through my knuckles to my wrists.

with all this mess, its no wonder I’m pist,

if I explained it all I’d have to big of a list.

man ‘ I hope this crap ain’t contageous I wouldn’t want

to give it to my family or friends.

I figured it would be bad, when it first began.

my shoulders get achy and thats not all

my friends all go out and they have a ball, I’m stuck

in my chair to stare down the hall.

I sit here alone with this arthritis problem

cant go to far cause if I aint limpin I’m wobbeling.

Won’t do no good to moan or groan, I consider my self to be lucky

to still live at home.

althou I do need a brake for goodness sakes

how much of this am I expected to take.

I don’t think its funny, this ol arthritis is no joke

especially when it hits us older folks.

I worked hard all my life and kept my family a good name

sometimes I feel useless , this puts me to shame.

well’ to some people  I know I’m a pain in the butt,

Just wish there was someway to get out of this rut.

when i think about it I feel like a slouch…so I just grab my pills

and take a nap on the couch..

this disease should leave me alone ..get out of my

life and out of my bones.  stop destroying people and what time they

have left in their homes.  so here’s to mr. arthur you slithering

snake aking people lose their balance and causing them

to shake..you’r no good to life no one wants you around,

you won’t be bothering us when the rite medacine is found.

so that is my story ,some ome please fin a cure, I’m not the only one with arthritis i’m sure.

after hearing all this my Doctor was confused, he said he was glad not to be in my shoes..the meds they did help me but I need some love,

I asked him to put the word out to help people like us, read this to patients and tell others to think of all of us  who suffer from arthritis and don’t be afraid to give a relative or a friend a big hug.

God bless you all , that ol arthurs got gall

he will attack anyone, watch you’r step and don’t fall.

come on and love all over me

come on and love all over me

and hold me close to you tonight. I know if

I have you evrything will be alright.

promise to take me where ever you go,

we are blessed and our love will always grow.

“come on and love all over me”

you have been an angel since we first met,

and I havent stopped loving you yet.

you have been putting a smile on my face for years

sometimes I use it to cover up those happy tears.

come on and love all over me

and hold me close to you tonight.

as long as I have you, everything is

is gona be alright.

the memories we share can never be replaced

our home has always been a very happy place.

even though we are getting older, we can both

see….I still got you and you still got me…

we have been together for so long

that just proves to us that our love for

eachother has been really strong, I’m so happy

we kept hanging on.

lets continue to climb up those mountain peaks

we will still kiss each othes rosie cheeks.

we will still go out for dinner and leave the

waitresses a tip and we promise not to forget ,our

favorite honymoon trips… see we believe in

eachother and we learned to forgive..for that

I will love you for as long as I live… remember…

that is how love is supposed to be…….

me loving you and you loveing me.

thank you for being exactly who you are,

I want you to know that” when I picked you.”..

“I picked a star.” you are my star,thats who you are.

come on and love all over me.

come on and love all over me

she’s in love with a man that is her age times two.
she has two children by him and say’s another ones due.
he works hard every day and brings home all his pay.
they live happily together and no faults do they share.
for to some they have wondered, if to her is it fair?
she don’t let it bother her…she’s in love and don’t care.
a good provider he is and to her a great man,
some women are jealous, yep ! guess we could understand,
for guy’s like that there in great demand.
so, needless to say, the next question was…
for whatever its worth ,was old age ever an issue
or was it just to give birth….
he wanted to make sure he left his name sake
she explained to her family this is no mistake.
if he dies before her everything will be o’kay.
I”ll be left with my kids and a lump some of pay.
as long as he loved her and treated her kind,
did’nt leave her broke or in any kind of a bind,
she said she loved him even if he were blind.
the other ladies looked at her often with doubt…
she let them know that she never did without.
she sent them a message saying she paid them
no mind, she knew that a good man like him
would be real hard to find..you should go look
around and find one on your own
cause you wont get this one , he is all mine.

no more drinking , lies or drugs
need your love need your hugs.
trying to get your love back like it was before.

had enough of living bad, don’t want that no more.
no more running the streets
no more promisses I can’t keep.

When I left you I had a sinful mind,
Oh, God…I was so blind.

I left your loving me behind.

I’ve done a lot of thinking, realizing I was wrong.

I wish I had’nt stayed away so long.

You were good to me but I let you down.

It was me doing all the messing around.

Ineed your love to comfort me.

I hope once more for me you will believe.

I prayed so many times…asking God to
guide me away from a life of crime.

my prayers were answered and I’m alive today.

I have learnd to live a better way.

I dont want to live in sin.

I’ll be greatful to have your love again.

I can say I’ve seen the light!

Its time to start livin right.

Yes people are human and they
do make mistakes.

to overcome that you need faith,
understanding and love…thats what
it takes..

I know if I had you, I’d live my life
as if it was new.

I want to be with you for eternity , can you
forgive me for what I’ve done?

lets love together as one.
let this love be reunited by
allowing that old flame to be ignighted.

this is where my journey starts too…

I want you to know….I really do love you…
