WHAT WE'RE MADE OF by Alfred Jonas

Though we're made of flesh and bone,
That can be broke by sticks and stones,
And though we laugh and though we cry,
There's more to us than meets the eye.

And though we feel the hot and cold,
And though our bodies do grow old,
Through the years we shed our skins,
And time reveals the void within.

Oh what is in your heart of hearts,
Gold or sliver, jewels or art,
Wine and song and happy times,
When you look what do you find.

At times I find an empty place,
That all the years just can't erase,
And though I pray and though I try,
I just can't fill that space inside.

Except with memories and dreams,
Of all the things and might have beens,
And all the wonders and despair,
Of loves and losts and heres and theres.

A heart is made of joys and pains,
Of rainbows, sunshine, drops of rain,
Of symphonies by stars on high,
And hawks and doves and autumn skies.

And walks on down the dusty lanes,
And scents and hues we can't explain,
Our hearts are all we've got to show,
But will they stay or will they go?

Oh when our time on earth is done,
Please let our hearts oh with us come.


Happy New Year Everyone

2005

I rather like to think that it´s the HEART that goes with us, finally; the heart that really defines us, humans. The beautiful heart. Where there is heart, void disappears.
