THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE...

Harry's Garden

.  .   .   where    I    learned   .   .   .


it's just another day of the year
you'd be the first to say
but still I smile a misty tear
because it was your birthday



the seasons pass
and bodies age
time catches up
to turn the page

and friends are gone
as an eye blinks
no matter what
the young heart thinks

yet I still hear
the words you said
so maybe somehow
you're not dead

your spirit lives
in every song
reminding me
where I belong


"strum your guitar
   sing it kid...
just write about your feelings
not the things you never did

inexperience
it once had cursed me
but your youth is no handicap
it's what makes you thirsty

   hey kid..."


Happy Birthday Harry
