First verse by Dragonfly, next and every other
verse by Lady Bleaux.


Sprinkled with star dust
Wrapped all up with loving care
Gifts from a warm heart

Gifts from a warm heart
hold a magnificent glow
Treasured forever

Treasured forever
All the little things of life
Fondly remembered

Fondly remembered
Those long ago glory days
Stay captured in time

Stay captured in time
And miss the joys of today
Now is all that's real

Now is all that's real
thinks the cold logical mind
The non-inventive

The non-inventive
Are doomed to follow in the
Footsteps of others

Footsteps of others
fall behind the trail blazers
Leaving faint echoes ...

Leaving faint echoes
Is not the brave way to go
Exit with a roar

Exit with a roar
Leave a dramatic impact
As your dénouement

As your dénouement
Try a little song and dance
Leave them with a smile

Leave them with a smile
Their eyes wide and wondering
What mischief hides there ...?

What mischief hides there
In the eyes of children?
Innocent lil' imps

Innocent lil' imps
wearing a sheepish disguise
What seems shy is sly!

What seems shy is sly!
Behind each demure facade,
A tiger crouches

A tiger crouches
in shadows of betrayal
Disguised as a friend...

Disguised as a friend
Evil creeps on tiny cat's paws
Right into our hearts

Right into our hearts
fly painfully sharp arrows
When friendship's abused

When friendship's abused
It leaves black and blue marks
Hidden on our souls

Hidden on our souls
within the tracks of our tears
There's rainbows of hope...

There's rainbows of hope
In every dreary rain cloud
You just have to look

You just have to look
deep within yourself to find...
Peace and harmony

Peace and harmony
Comes to those who are balanced
You have to work hard at it

You have to work hard at it
with true caring and honor
A trusting friendship

A trusting friendship
is rarer than green bird's teeth
Good luck finding one

Good luck finding one
It helps knowing what you seek
Else chase butterflies...

Else chase butterflies
And will-o'-the-wisps blindly
Without a purpose

Without a purpose
ambition and some meaning
Life can feel empty

Life can feel empty
But it's a false feeling
Life refills itself

Life refills itself
The same as the day begins
with every new dawn

With every new dawn
A never used day is born
Again, a fresh start

Again, a fresh start
As winter snows melt away
With the breath of spring
