Morning sunrise greets
Another new day
Taking love forward
Rainbows without gray
Bold, positive steps
Encourage each day
Taking love forward
Spirit won’t betray
Heart finds harmony
Melodies all day
Taking love forward
Happiness shall play
Impatient clouds brew
Compassion saves day
Taking love forward
Life’s innocent way
Nightfall now arrives
Day finally sleeps
Taking love forward
Tomorrow will keep
One of my favorite songs is “If I Were a Carpenter.” With lyrics and music composed by Tim Hardin, the song climbed the charts in 1966 when Bobby Darin recorded it. Darin’s interpretation of the lyrics is filled with love’s theme.

Your mention of “If I Were a Carpenter” brought back some fond memories of my teen years as I sought to find who I would become and how I would get there. Cherished memories! Thank you for helping me remember.
