Poetry by Jennifer Olston

You’ve got love, love, love You’ve got love, love, love You and me We’ve got love, love, love We’ve got love, love, love You and me The stars in the sky Reflecting the gaze upon our eyes Filling the heart with love To never be, alone again When the seams of life Came undone Stood a woman and a man Shining bright as the sun We’ve got love I got you You got me We’ve got love, love, love We’ve got love, love, love I’ve got you You’ve got me In love

On this road again There is no place I would rather be So many places to go  So many things to see In my head I have a worlds view And a clear path ahead So many places to go I will not be misled Maybe I'll go to California  Or maybe Tennessee  Wherever I may go It'll be a part of me The longing to go From the mountains to the sea Discovering new people, new faces I'm ecstatic with glee Maybe I'll go to California  Or maybe Tennessee  Wherever I may go It'll be the place for me On this road again There is no place I would rather be So many places to go  So many things to see

From this day forward I shall never be told  Life is not worth living From this day forward  I promise to help  The young and the old who are hurting  From this day forward I will not be judged  By the way I feel or act  From this day forward  I shall hold dear every  moment Never live in fear  From this day forward  Every day, I will smile  For I'm happy I'm alive  From this day forward I shall chant Life is worth living and this is my only chance 

I build myself up You tear me down It wasn't long ago When I was  on the other side of town There is no reason Why I should believe you The hate in your eyes Has forever consumed you Now here I am  To face the truth  No matter what's happened  I loved you  You knock me down  I get right up I'm disillusioned And broken hearted  I build myself up You tear me down  It won't be long now Before I'm gone and out of town 

March was the month that I was set free, Free of worries and free to be. There was a time when you were my man. I felt loved, as if you were the one. But deep down you were a flirt. When a woman walked by, you checked her look! As for I, you were the first. I knew nothing about your little black book! But now I understand, you can’t help it, Being a dirty old man! I want to be set free! Free from pain, And free to be! I was all alone, You didn’t worry about me. Having a good time Far way from me! I was all alone, But the sun shined on me. March was the month that I was set free! I was all alone And the sun shined on me. March was the month that was set free! March was the month that I was set free! March was the month that I was set free! March was the month that I was set free! March was the month that was set free! Vocal by Jennifer Olston

Dear mom, mother dearest! The world takes many turns. But your love; Lives forever, In my heart, Wherever I go. Dear mom, mother dearest! Your smile, Makes me happy. The warmth in your hugs, Makes me feel loved. Your scintillating eyes when you see me; Reminds me of when I was a little girl, When I could barely count to three. Dear mom, mother dearest! The world takes many turns. But your love; Lives forever, In my heart, Wherever I go. Dear mom, mother dearest! Thank you for taking care of me. For always being there when I needed you. For the hugs and  kisses. For watching over me through the night, when I was restless. Thank you for your love. But most of all,  thank you for being my mom. The world takes many turns. But your love; Lives forever, In my heart, Wherever I go. Love you Mom!

Maezinha, querida Mae O Mundo da voltas  Mas o Amor da Mae E para toda a vida No meu coracao.  Maezinha, querida Mae O teu sorriso Que me da alegria E o amor des teus abracos Faz vida uma maravilha  Os teus olhos cintilantes quando tu me ves Faz-me lembrar quando eu era crianca E contaba nos meus pequenos dedos.   Maezinha, querida Mae O Mundo da voltas  Mas o Amor da Mae E para toda a vida No meu coracao.  Maezinha, querida Mae O Mundo da voltas  Mas o Amor da Mae E para toda a vida No meu coracao.  Maezinha, querida Mae Maezinha, querida Mae

One  has to aspire to be a mother That's the ultimate woman's goal To love immensely without a reason To love someone beyond control  One has to aspire to be a mother Without it, you'll miss so On raising a human being From the first steps to growing old One has to aspire to be a mother  And feel their womanhood in full From the feeling of a baby growing in our belly  To comforting their cries into adulthood  One has to aspire to be a mother  And never give up on motherhood  Through trials and hardships There's no better accomplishment in the world!

I love your smile I love your laughter The way you whisper my name And our love forever after I love the way you caress me How you hold me Your lips seeking mine with a plea I love all of you within me

Once upon a time there was a wise Irishman Who wrote short stories and shared them worldwide Some were fables, while others made you think straight   Squid McFinnigan was his name; A bar owner, A novelist renowned He wrote stories of present, and people’s past Keeping them alive at last Taking them everywhere he went, in his heart As he went about his life; He promised to keep people’s memories alive Through pen and paper, while writing all night!

His name is Matthew Kastor A poet and a Glorious friend like no other He is personal and caring Always there to remind you that you matter When he is not at his day job or coding He is writing poetry and checking on his friends Reminding them that writing is priority Not to be short lived, so their stories will live on

I found Sugar Man, a music man A blast from the past He is a family man, a humble man He is an icon, his music lives to last He may be old, but he is younger at heart With his music I am consoled I love his view of the world His songs tell a story that no other could master He goes by Rodriguez Of Mexican heritage Born in the good USA And a music legend!

Theirs was a broken hope Living day to day With dreams of traveling far and wide, come a day Scarred by empty promising notes Just a matter of time to realize some gain The heavier the burden, the heavier the chain Working all day, worrying all night To pay the bills, to keep the house Tattering burden, feeling lousy Looking at their future, they had a dream A house, a car, a kid or two, maybe even a dog or a cat Next election: should they vote Republican or Democrat Repeat!
