life changes to fill the emptiness sometimes it brings magical happiness sometimes it brings medieval sadness and sometimes is just brings loneliness but it is what we bring that matters what we make of what we find inside there are many reasons to give up on your dreams but only one is needed to decide have you told the truth or have you lied it's not time for profound words it's time to fly with the birds it's not time to call upon the knife to cut through the meaning of life it's not time for the lemon tree it's time for the honesty but how we avoid the memory of one great childhood fantasy leaving an empty space where love should be in today's reality so through all the changes I reach out again trying to remember how to be a true friend from computer and printer back to paper and pen the river of words flows without an end to tell you that I'll always be your friend this is what I bring to you today seeds that I have nurtured deep inside I've never found reason to give up on my dreams and I stand here without fear or false pride and say in all this time I have not lied it is time for simple things this song plays on my heart strings and I do believe that it is time to come back and complete this rhyme it is time to make the lemonade it is time the piper was paid to stop avoiding memory and the great childhood fantasy to put love back where it should be in today's reality so through all the changes I reach out again trying to remember how to be a true friend from computer and printer back to paper and pen the river of words flows without an end to tell you that I'll always be your friend The River of Words Ric Candor ©1993, 2000 EMAIL
