Topic: Song? Strong Boxes. Helena Donovan.

Hi Forum.
As my own pc has blanked again. I would like to place this piece here.
Its for  a very special Person in my life. Will it ever have music? Id like to think so.
Maybe when My Pc returns it will take on a life force.
For you my Soul friend, for the best christmas and new year in a very long time.
You have showered me with so much love i feel reborn. I graciously accept the very essence of you and "Thank My Higher Power!

Strong Boxes.
My baby's on the move
new pastures he has found
stepping down a stair unto
strong footing on the ground.

His past is all in boxes
full of life's collected dust
some have gathered music
other memories left to rust.

Strong boxes hold his words
written over years
Stories songs in poetry
signed sometimes with tears.

Some boxes hold the sadness
of days he loved but knew
A love he thought was lasting
was anything but true.

New boxes hold new times
there light and pretty to
they hold a new beginnings
a space for me and you.

the magic in the new ones
holds love and mystery
whispered words into  my ear
My miracle is you.

I hold your face inside my hands
your heart inside my head.
our box is full of precious things
acceptance of what is.

We have removed the boundaries
We have harmonized our lives
everything we know is true
just us to idolize

The love i feel inside me
when you explore my need
Our love that is so natural
as life force to a tree.

.Enjoy your new home Darling
giving is the key
i thank the lord every day
your new ground has found  me...

Ooooh, Old Doll - this is fabulous.  It shall be even fabulouser once you get some music to along with the lyric.  Look forward to seeing this one grow and take on a life of it's own!  James

This is a great song Old Doll. Of course, everytime you post one I like it.... I'm kind of having a hard time feeling the rythym of this line:

some have gathered music
other memories left to rust.

Maybe you're pronouncing it mem-reez? Anyway the whole thing is great, of course my favorite part I posted at the beginning. Thats an awesome line.

Well Good Morning Doncorleone Sir!
I bet i scared you this hour. My sleeping pattern is wrecked from all the partying over the christmas. So i do what i do at all hours " I write" We had a very small flurry of snow last night.
Just not quite enough to make a snowball, but they are expecting more today.
Thank You" for liking my song.

I wish you and yours  "A great New Year" May all your Horses Romp Home!:lol:

Re: Song? Strong Boxes. Helena Donovan.

I have just got home to an e-mail for assistance from a damsel in distress so I have added the amended song to Helena's post. I will finish my tea and give the song a whirl and comment later.

Re: Song? Strong Boxes. Helena Donovan.

Hi Helena and John White,

I have just given this a run through and I like the result. The lyrics can very easily transposed to the male perspective and I like the chord sequence particularly the C, F, D of the 12th line.

Well done to both of you.
