The sound of pelting rainPierces my subconscious mind;I shift my body a little in bedIn my heart, protested and whined. What time is it, I wonder?Whatever it is, I want to sleep;I'm tired to the boneOver me, emotions sweep. Monday Blues people sayFor...

Lift me high, never let me fallI've given you my all, and I mean my ALL;Protect, treasure, love meIt's not too much to ask, don't you agree?While the days past were bleak and sadI'd like to think life will be better, at least a tad;When you shine a l...
