In the spring, among the flowers
Bird song rings in the morning hours
Sun is up and the day is bright
What a time to unleash your light!

138. My Thoughts Make A Difference
By Chandler Yorkhall
My thoughts make a difference
My feelings make a difference
My words make a difference
My healing makes a difference
I will not shy away from the struggle in my soul
I will waste no time, for this day is growing old
What can I do for this broken world?
By Ishka Shir
I am here on this planet, living my life,
doing what I do, feeling grateful.
I am here, this is life, I'm grateful. (2x)
By Te Martin
I let go
I lay down
I release
Return again
By Patricia Norton
Lullaby my sweetness, rock me forever;
cradle me deep in an ocean of blue.
Lullaby my sweetness, hold me so gentle;
this is the song that I sing for you.
White birds winging above me,
calling wild and calling free.
White thoughts, wheeling away now;
loose and alight and afloat on the sea.
