Family for good or ill
They are yours
Want them or not
You are stuck with them

They will make you laugh
They will make you cry
They will most definitely make you scream
And pull all your hairs out

Some family is related by blood
Some family is related by marriage
Some family is related history
But all family is related by love

They can "disown" you
You can "disown" them
But in the end you still love one another
Too much to forget your love for each other

Turn to the seasons
the majesty of winter
when all things sleep the sleep of life
wrapped in summers long forgot
then after the deep shame of autumn
followed by the cruel bitter cold
they cover their nakedness
and clothe their limbs
in the warmth of leaves.

Magic surrounds me
Drowning me with pure joy
Wrapping around my heart and soul
Taking a step forward I fly
Happy thoughts are on my mind
I want to fly to Never Never Land
Find Peter Pan and the Lost Boys
I don't want to grow up
Not ever
Swashbuckling with Capt'n Hook
Racing through the sky with Tinkerbell
Listening to stories at Wendy's knees
Oh to be young forever more
To see the magic through a childs eye once again
With innocence and wonder
Oh Lord and Lady I beseech you
Open my Third Eye
So I might see the magic as a child once more

I saw the summer stay and wait
tiptoeing round my garden gate,
then she sighed and moved away
to bring her warmth another day

Then Autumn came mellow brown,
with swirling leaves of thistledown,
but sad her time was all too short
she could not find the warmth she sought

To Winter then, the ice and snow,
with bitter winds that cut and blow,
yes her time outstays the rest
til Spring comes round a welcome guest.

I had covered some miles that night in December
I remembered the warmth of the fires glowing embers'
then up through the dark an old man appeared
limping quite badly, with eyes full of tears,
in a flowing white robe, and a long straggly beard,
I called out a greeting, he could not have heard.
Then in the distance a clock struck the hour
it's luminous face clear in the tower,
and I turned to the place where I'd seen the old man,
but I was too late the old year had gone.

The air is chilly in
This early morning
The fog clings to the ground
As my feet pick out the path
That they know so well
My breathe crystallizes in the air
Showing the proof of Winter clinging
Sun peeks through the trees
Brightening up the snow and ice
That still lingers
A beam of sunlight falls upon
My face causing me to smile
My body fills with warmth
My feet begin to move faster
Darting in and out of the trees
In a hurry to reach my destination
I break through the trees
Into a clearing on a cliffside
To meet the Dawn in all her glory
To soak up her morning rays
To give thanks to the Mother
For all that she has given us
Seen and Unseen
Blessed Be to all of Mothers Creatures

They dance and jump
up and down the hall
but they always come back
whenever I call

They are the best friends
I know they're sincere
they would never upset
or cause me a tear

They come in all colours
and are rather unique
I call them socks
and they go on me feet.
