Since I was a young Mom I have loved this book by Lucy Maud. It is hilarious and so well put together.
Enjoy!

Moonlit Silence
**[Verse 1]**
In the hush of this summer night, we stay,
Barney and I, where moonlight plays.
No words to speak, our hearts align,
Rabbits leap soft, the owls divine.
The road is draped in shadow’s lace,
Stars awake, they find their place.
Then a spark, like lightning’s gleam,
Lights my heart—it’s no mere dream.
**[Chorus]**
No glance, no touch, no vow to swear,
Yet I’m his, I’m wholly there.
Love’s a flame, so wild, so sweet,
Burns my soul, makes me complete.
In this moonlit silence, I’m alive,
My heart’s his own, it will survive.
**[Verse 2]**
The wind sings free through pinewood air,
My spirit soars, no weight to bear.
No past to haunt, no future’s fear,
This hour is ours, so pure, so clear.
He dreams of storms, of clouds that race,
I dream of love, his quiet face.
In silence deep, my heart’s been won,
A woman free, my chains undone.
**[Chorus]**
No glance, no touch, no vow to swear,
Yet I’m his, I’m wholly there.
Love’s a flame, so wild, so sweet,
Burns my soul, makes me complete.
In this moonlit silence, I’m alive,
My heart’s his own, it will survive.
**[Bridge]**
The moon breaks free from clouds’ embrace,
My soul’s reborn, I’ve found my place.
No fear of death, no life too small,
Love has claimed me, heart and all!
I’m one with every heart that’s loved,
A sisterhood, by stars above!
**[Final Chorus]**
No glance, no touch, no vow to swear,
Yet I’m his, I’m wholly there.
Love’s a flame, so wild, so sweet,
Burns my soul, makes me complete.
In this moonlit silence, I am free,
Love’s my truth, it’s all of me.
**[Outro]**
In this moonlit silence… I’m his, eternally.
Forever in a Flash
A Duet for Barney and Valancy
**[Verse 1 - Valancy]**
Beneath the pines where twilight glows,
The sun was fading, soft and slow.
I stepped from town to dreams with you,
Where fairyland makes wishes true.
But oh, the rails, they caught my heart,
A moment’s trap tore us apart.
**[Verse 1 - Barney]**
I heard your cry, my world stood still,
Your frightened eyes, my heart they filled.
The train’s dark roar came rushing near,
But all I knew was you, my fear.
No force could make me turn and flee,
My love, you’re all the world to me.
**[Chorus - Together]**
In a flash, forever’s born,
Through the fire, through the storm.
Hand in hand, we faced the flame,
Love’s the vow that calls our name.
No train, no fate can break this tie,
Our hearts will soar, we’ll never die.
**[Verse 2 - Valancy]**
My heel was caught, my soul laid bare,
I screamed for you to leave me there.
Your life, my love, I’d save at cost,
No thought of mine, just you, not lost.
Yet you stayed true, your knife so swift,
You pulled me free, my heart you lift.
**[Verse 2 - Barney]**
Your voice, it begged me to be gone,
But love like ours burns ever on.
I tore the lace, I broke the chain,
The train’s cold wind brought no refrain.
I held you close, my only creed,
With you, my love, I’m all I need.
**[Chorus - Together]**
In a flash, forever’s born,
Through the fire, through the storm.
Hand in hand, we faced the flame,
Love’s the vow that calls our name.
No train, no fate can break this tie,
Our hearts will soar, we’ll never die.
**[Bridge - Valancy]**
I thought my heart would fail me then,
A doctor’s word, a cruel amen.
But here I stand, alive, complete,
Your love’s the pulse that makes me beat.
**[Bridge - Barney]**
No doubt, no fear can tear us down,
Our love’s the king, it wears the crown.
The pines, the lake, the stars above,
They’ll sing forever of our love.
**[Chorus - Together]**
In a flash, forever’s born,
Through the fire, through the storm.
Hand in hand, we faced the flame,
Love’s the vow that calls our name.
No train, no fate can break this tie,
Our hearts will soar, we’ll never die.
**[Outro - Together]**
Through Mistawis, where sunsets gleam,
We’ll sail as one, we’ll live the dream.
No silence now, no shadowed pain,
Our love will rise, like sweet refrain.
Forever in a flash, we’re free,
My heart’s with you, and yours with me.
