The Greatest Thing ...

Nature Boy

There was a boy

A very strange, enchanted boy

They say he wandered very far

Very far, over land and sea

A little shy and sad of eye

But very wise was he
And then one day,

One magic day he passed my way

While we spoke of many things

Fools and Kings

This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in return.

- Eden Ahbez - 1948 -

Desperately Seeking Someone

Do you know what it is like to be alone
By Yourself
No one home
Going insane
Racking your brain
No boyfriend
No child
Don't care for the wild
But you know in a while you'll become like a child
Sucking your thumb
No one will come
To save you from the sadness
Madness
Loneliness
They won't help you up or fill up your cup
So you do it yourself
Don't trust no one else
Keeping it real but your soul won't heal
So you do it to them
Till they know how you feel
