I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Comment by Jo Doyle on November 15, 2009 at 10:04am: WHISPER'S IN THE NIGHT

Listen To The Winds Soft Cry
Of A Lady Singing Her Lullaby
Whispers Of The Night So Long
Wishing For That Famous Love Song

You Are My Light
When Darkness Falls
You Are My Sight
In My Darkened Halls

Hear The Joy Of An Angel's Glee
When The People Around Her Now See
With Eyes So Clear And Pure
All Now Really Can Be Sure

Comment by Jo Doyle on November 15, 2009 at 10:02am: AN ANGEL'S KISS

An Angel's Kiss,
Is like so much bliss.
And that Angel is you.
You know what to do.

You love to make me smile,
Every time I've been sad for a while.
The feelings are growing.
And they are showing.

An Angel's Kiss,
Is something I'm glad exists.
You're someone I know.
And you help me grow.

Please tell me.
How you feel.
So I know.
If it's real.

But it's An Angel's Kiss.
It's something I shall not ever miss.
I love you.
And that I will always do.

If only for a moment,
wait for me - I'll be there.
If only for a moment,
please just stay - don't go nowhere.
If only for a moment,
you can take my breath away.
If only for a moment,
I heard you again today.
If only for a moment,
my heart holds on to you.
If only for a moment,
You are my dream come true.
If only for a moment,
I'll never let you go.
That moment's, when I hear your voice,
Barry Manilow.

Comment by Jo Doyle on November 3, 2008 at 10:18am: There was a young lady named Rose

Who had a large wart on her nose.

When she had it removed

Her appearance improved,

But her glasses slipped down to her toes.

An elderly man called Keith

Mislaid his set of false teeth -

They'd been laid on a chair,

He'd forgot they were there,

Sat down, and was bitten beneath.

Comment by Kathy Friendilow on October 28, 2008 at 2:44pm: HEY BARRY......

Think of something that you've done
to make you feel so proud.
Think of something funny
to make you laugh out loud.
Think of us, your friends
when you have nothing else to do
Turn around, look at me,
I'm smiling back at you.

Comment by Jackie on October 14, 2008 at 2:51am: Barry was born in Brooklyn New York
The music was there before he could talk
He played the accordian he's sorry to say
But he knew something better was coming his way
Then one day he saw it, this beautiful thing
A piano grand, like a shiny new pin
He sat down and played and from then on he knew
That this was his future, the road to success
He Just needed someone to come and say yes
He played in the theatres and night club bars
Trying to work his way up to the stars
Then one day it hit him right out of the blue
An offer to record an album came through
He went out onto the road to promote his new songs
But soon he discovered that something was wrong
He'd lost all his money to his dispare
And he could'nt get home cos' he had no fare
So he struggled and worked as hard as could be
To try and get back on the ladder you see
Well he soon recovered and was back on top
Churning out hits that never flopped
His albums went gold and platinum too
Barry was knocked out, he didn't know what to do
He just couln't handle this new found fame
So he went to the coast to sort out his aim
If he wants to go on he must learn to survive
And get things into perspective if he wants to stay alive
So he returned fighting fit to persu his carreer
Believing that nothing would dampen his fear
He had more ups and downs along the way
But determination and strength got him through, day by day
He's our one in a million he keeps our dreams alive
Now we look to him if we want to survive
He helps us through the bad times
Giving us strength through his songs
And he'll live in our hearts our whole life long
We thank you dear Barry for all you have done
You take out the rain and you bring in the sun
You make our lives brighter by just being there
And it gives us contentment knowing you care

Jackie Allen 1990
