TIME TO ROCK ‘N ROLL

by Colleen James

The melody stays the same

But you keep changing the lyrics

Just when I think I’ve got it right

You say I’ve got it wrong

I’m tired of the blues

I want to rock ‘n roll

So I think it’s time to move on………..

Sing solo for a while

How do you like THOSE lyrics

NEVER STOP DREAMING

by Colleen James

She dreamed of ice skating

In the summer

On the lake in the woods

Behind her home

She had neither the skates

Nor the skills ……..and the lake had never frozen

Yet she cherished that dream

For her lifetime

At the end of it

Her smiling body was found

On the shores

Of the lake in the woods

Behind her home
