Mary Sweet

Star of burning dreams
Shadow of the sun
Heart of love unseen
Sorrow just begun
...

The meadows turn from green to brown
the old, tall trees fall to the ground
the Tiger Lilies never grow
and the only bird is a big, black crow;
...

If you can stand as everyone falls
if you can ignore temptation's calls
or go a new way on unbeaten trails
or stay to succeed when all else fails
...

Maybe there is something
that's telling me to stop
Maybe there's a reason
for me to just give up
...
