One with Nature

One with Nature

By Tione Thrift

Outside looking at the sun in the sky

Listening to the sweet song that the birds sing as they fly

The mighty tree stands tall and strong

A gentle breeze from the wind goes on and on

The grass so green, filled with life

No thoughts of pain, no thoughts of strife

The clear air that my breath takes in

Flies away with the wind

Filled with sadness, not wanting to part

One with nature, one with my heart

What if it was you?

What if it was you?

By Tione Thrift

What if it was me who had no choice?

What if it was me who had no voice?

What if it was me being forced against my will

What if it was me? This is real

What if it was you who was being treated less than your worth?

What if it was you who was being held in bondage since birth?

Something that seems so far away

It’s closer than we think, it starts today

Human trafficking is real

It’s time to do something, so here’s the deal

It’s time to come together and be aware

It’s time to show that when others need us, we will be there

Come on everyone, we know what to do

What if it was me?  What if it was you?

My Wish

My Wish

Tione Thrift

How can this be?

It’s not too hard to see

The beauty of this wonderful sight

So lovely are the stars at night

The lunar light shines over the dark trail

This sight can never fail

What a lovely sight you are

You’re my wish, my shooting star

Forever Yours

Forever Yours

By Tione Thrift

Hear my cry, hear my plea

Please don’t go, stay here with me

No one understands me like you do

No one is as loving or as true as you

You have my heart, you’re my love

You’re my gentle dove

Will I find you or will you find me

To be together forever, we have eternity

I don’t know who you are

But I know we share the same star

When we meet, my heart shall open its doors

Telling you that I’m here, forever yours

Stay Aware

Stay Aware
By Tione Thrift

They don’t run, they don’t hide
Their chains are invisible on this perilous ride
In reality their dreams are like a mirage across the sand
They are deceived by the lies of the barren land
At first there are no thoughts of escape
But they soon fall victim to their fate
Tricked by the prospect of fortune and fame
They lose their identity, they lose their name
So close to freedom, but yet so far away
Wishing for freedom, wishing for that glorious day
A lack of awareness keeps this evil alive
They need us to be aware in order to survive

Wonderful World

Wonderful World

By Tione Thrift

The sun, shining so lovely in the sky

Shining so bright as each day goes by

Dancing all around, happiness in the air

Smiles can be seen everywhere

The trees and flowers are dancing in the wind

Everything in harmony, like a peaceful friend

The mountains stand tall and true

So lovely is the ocean blue

A Wonderful Treasure



Don’t ignore, don’t neglect

They should be treated with respect

Never use them, always stay true

Never abuse them, they are people too

Always and forever from the date of their birth

They are beautiful Angels on this Earth

So lovely that you don’t know what to say

They should be treated like queens every day

Always remember even when they are old

They are all precious, worth more than gold
