The Morning Everything Changed An Easter poem by Dave A. Gardener And suddenly In one glorious morn A stone was rolled away Ice yielded to warmth Winter to spring Love’s freedom ring Death flipped to life And everything That is everything Changed Forever.

Once and only once
Once and only once – lyrics by Vic Damone Once and only once I’ll walk through this troubled world So if a good deed I may do Some tearful face bring laughter to I will be contented then For I’ll not walk this way again Once and only once I’ll live with my fellow man…
Suffused with joy
Suffused with joy Gaze, oh weary one, upon the rays of the sun As they part the clouds That stood in the way for far too long You recognize their beauty As if in a dream That you saw coming from a great distance away But never believed would come And now they are here!…

Loving the little things
