Cool Fall Day....

I Walk at Beaver Pond, on this Cool Fall Day. I Dress very warm with my bomber hat on I Must Say. Myself, Faith,Lily and Elsa. On the Beach. Lovely Scenery, trees reflect off the Water.I'm Lost for Speech. A Local spot I remember as a child. Except for the breeze,it almost feels mild. This is nature at it's best for sure. So beautiful I always Want more. We walk past the swamp,Cat O Nine tails I See. I grab a couple of them for Lily,Careful not to fall in the weeds. A short but nice walk.It brings me delight. I feel good, I feel alright. Today it was cool and Sunny,It is the very best. I enjoy these walks, It is now time to rest.

A Walk Through Nature...

The Voice of An Angel...

A Beautiful Day...

Yesterday's Rain...

Yesterday's Rain By William Wyllie... The rain keeps falling, like the tears in my eyes. My heart keeps crying, I just don't know why. I miss you so much,my dear friend it's true. I feel very happy, when I'm around you. To hold you close in my arms would be nice. The love I feel is just paradise. Without you near I do feel such pain. You're just gone like Yesterday's Rain. So come back to me and show me your feeling. Squeeze me tight, send my heart reeling. Memories of you in my mind just go on. Happy I feel the pain will be gone. The pain will have left me when you have returned. I won't feel the pain of this deep, deep burn. So please be my friend and show me you care. My heart will be happy, our love we will share.

Who's Next...

Who's Next By William Wyllie... I'm "Happy Jack", I want to see my friend, because I want to take "Pictures of Lily" I'd like to see what's "Behind Blue Eyes". We'll take a trip to the highest mountain where "I Can See For Miles". I want to see my "Mary Ann with the Shaky Hands". But I "Won't Get Fooled Again". I'll go see my friend the "Pinball Wizard". I'll ask him "Who Are You", who, who, who, who. You can't be from "My Generation", because "The Kids are Alright" where I come from. So "See Me, Feel Me" because "I'm Free". So let's "Join Together" because "You Better, You Bet". I won't take no "Substitute". I only want you to play that "Squeeze Box". So Who's on First, Guess Who's on second and "The Eletric Prines" are on third.

This Dark and Stormy Night...

This Dark and Stormy Night My beautiful Lady,the beauty you are. You are my bright and shinning star. I long to be close by your side. I'm waiting for you with my arms open wide. I feel these words,come from my heart. You are so lovely,please don't part. For if you leave, I would cry and weep. Because my darling,your love I seek. Never thought I'd feel these emotions, inside. They feel so strong,I will not hide. I would dance and sing, if you came to me. But if you do my love you will see. I would hold you close if you were here. I want you beside me.So very near. We write our letters,We show Our Love. I'm just so happy, my Lovey Dove. I know your feelings are as as strong as mine. So never leave and let's drink some wine. Let's drink some champagne,and who knows what. But before We Do,the door I will shut. I want to hold you tight,on this dark and stormy night.

The Sun Comes Up...

By William Wyllie The sun comes up,the sun goes down. But I'm still here, and never frown. It's cloudy and windy.the sun shines bright. But through it all, I feel alright. The days are long, the days are hot. The sun shines bright, the moon does not. I go through the day with a happy smile. Some rough times have come,still happy for awhile. Good to get out in nature each week. Walking through town,Is it Love that I seek? But for now I am happy,in my heart everyday. The walking group and senior scribbers keep me budy each day. Never though my life would come together like this. It turned ut so nice.It's almost like bliss. I see parts of Franklin that I've never seen before. But whereever I go, I want to see more. I made new friends,and that is the best. Wherever We Go, North, South, East or West. In the dark of night the moon does glow. This Beautiful world,I'm Happy to know.

The Franklin-Bellinghjam Rail Trail...

By William Wyllie We Gather together, at the Franklin Water, Well #6 on Grove Street. Eleven of us here as we start to mix. We Walk to the First path, Big Sign "Fraklin Trunkline Trail" we see, our eyes dp not fail. More signs we see "Fraklin-Bellingham Rail Trail" it does say. Old railroad tracks here there use to be. They go a long, long way, To Bellingham the trail will go., if you go all the way. It was a happy Day. I take photos of the trail,I take photos of wild flowers. we walked a couple of hours. A long walk but it was so nice.Being a Franklin Resident all of my life. First time I've seen this,I'll never think twice. I imagine train track here,from so long ago. It must have been fun,this I'd like to know. We walked about a mile and a half till we came upon a street overpass. 2020 Franklin Trunkline Tral" written in cement over the top.It sure will last. A small sign just on the other side of the overpass,telling the story of the trains, from the past. We decide to stop here and we turn back. Some of the group go on walking a little father ahead. We turn back to return, on our toes we tread. At a slow pace we go as we head to from where we started. It's so nice seeing flowers, till we get to where we departed. Just as we were back to the Trail Head sign, we did start. The group of people who went on ahead of us caught up to us, before we depart. We say our goodbyes as we got in our cars. We head for home,not very far. As I look at it now,Walking with this group makes me feel so good. Being in the outdoor's again, I', happy that I could./ The history of Franklin,these trails keep it alive. I'm Happy to know it,it fills me with pride.

A Place Called River Bend...

By William Wtyllie... We Walk in Franklin, A Place called River Bend. Under the Power lines, These words I send. A cool Fall day, just myself, Faith and Lily. My name is William but call me Billy. We walk through a path,a little muddy at times. Around the tree's, these memories are mine. We see a river, down a steep hill we go. Whatever happens, Only God Knows. The beautiful foliage, color in the trees. Reflections off the water, deep color's we see. I photograh this wonder,splender in the grass. We keep on walking,the time does pass. A nice short walk on a fall like day. The sun shines bright,No words can I say. The Walk was Short,but it was a treat. My two good friends, Once again we will meet. The Beauty of Nature, hiking is the best. Walking in the woods, Now it's time to rest.

My Radio Show...

By William Wyllie... I want to be Happy,but sometimes not. I want to be thankful for what I have got. I write my poems,I do my best. Sometimes I get tired and need a rest. I play my music on my radio show. It makes me happy,and it does show. Music is my life I can't deny. It makes me fly like birds in the sky. I have these listeners from all around the world. They enjoy the music,And the 45s twirl. The 1950s to the mid 80s,the music goes on. Rock n roll to ballads,my music won't be gone. If life is a song, I'm stuck in the past. But I know one thing,My life is a blast. I try not to worry about things here or there. I have to think happy,A smile I will wear. A radio show of my own,Never thought it would be. But here I am,playing music for the world to see. From Russa or China,the die has been cast. They listen to my archive of shows,from the past. 119 listeners the world can tune in. It makes me feel happy,I have a big grin. 619 shows that they have to choose from. Oldies to scribblers shows.The Day will soon come. I give background on the singers,Information is good. I'm happy to be here,I knew that I would. From The Beatles to Sinatra,the music will play. Time to say a goodnight,Until the next day.

New Years Resolutions...

New Years Resolutions By William Wyllie... New Years Resolutions, always get spoken. But the true fact is, they always get broken. They say they'll quit smoking, but never do. They take out their anger on you. I'll lose weight, this time for sure. They see the Food and just want more. The temptation is just too strong. They get weak and can't go on. Whatever they try they seem to fail. Temptation is strong like being in jail. I'll try to do this the best I can. I never quite make it.I'm not the man. I'm not the man to do these things. Let me fly away, like I'm on wings. New years Resolutions are hard to do. Temptation is strong, I'll quite with you. I'll quite right now and just give up. I won't go on.I have no luck. But maybe some day I'll do it for sure. I'll say I've won, and won't want more.

Memories of Christmas Past...

By William Wyllie I have fond memories as a little kid. Growing up in the 1950's. I come from a large family, My older brother Bobby,My next older brother Arthur, My next older sister Susan,then me, then my younger sister Donna, my younger brother Phillip. Five of us in all, not to mention a still born sister Nancy Jean. My aunt Wanda and Uncle Edgar would come for a visit at Christmas also.Up from Connecticut, with their two children Debbie and David. So this was the gang we had at Christmas for years. plus my grandma Mary and grandpa Albert,would come on christmas. I also remember many dogs in our house, Rusty a red setter,and Ralph the dog. Two great dogs we had for years. Presents would pile up around the tree, I remember Grandpa handing out quarter's to the kids. We kids loved getting money from him. Wraping paper would fly everywhere.Room full of paper. It was a wonderful time. We use to have some nice Thansgiving dinner's at my brother Arthur's house, when he lived in the area. Many Happy memories were made.It was a great time. I remember them, well. I was starting to get into photography slowly, When digital came around I was hooked for good. We have lot's of photo's and slides to remember these times. Only three of us left nowadays. Me, my younger sister Donna and my older brother Arthur. We keep in contact on facebook now. I still live in the Family house now.All by myself. I have two good lady friends that keep me happy and my big Cat Ikea. Good times in my mind last forever.

Memories Bill's Oldies Bring...

Bill's Oldies By William Wyllie Memories Bill's Oldies Bring They make you want to sing. They really knock you out. They make you scream and shout. The songs are Heavenly. Music of the 50's, 60's and 70's Blues, Ballads and Rockers are heard. You'll be singing every word. Unknowns and Hit's keep playing. Sometimes you'll wonder what they are saying. But Bill speaks clearly when anouncing the songs. Memories will never be gone. Fun times will be had by all. You'll simply have a ball.

Bill's Oldies...

Bill's Oldies By William Wyllie... Happy I feel doing my broadcasting Thing. I feel Happy, Joy it brings. Bill's Oldies is the name of the station. I play songs that were hits of the nation. Album Tracks to B-Sides. My imagination just open's wide. 50's, 60's,70's is the music I play. It makes me happy, This I must say. I can pop on at a moment's notice. Top 30's of the past are my focus. I play the hits, I play the flops. Whatever I do, I feel I'm on top. My place in life I have found. I play my music and dance around. I don't have a care. When I'm on the air. I play my favorites,From The Beatles to The Stones. I also play songs that were unknowns. I give history about the tunes. When I have something to say. The way I want to do it, it is the right way. So tune in to the Oldies,when I play them loud. I feel very happy, ans oh so proud.

Franklin, My Home Town...

Franklin, My Home Town by William Wyllie... Franklin sure is My Home Town. I love it so much I never frown. A lot of changes have been in the works. Not for the better, sometimes it hurts. The store fronts change over time. I still remember the five and dime. The Rome Restaurant , it sure is still here. The Pizza is great I live pretty near. The supermarket Brunelli's has come and gone. From Star market to Shaw's. The Memories Live On. It's a shame the old fire station was torn town. But times goes on.Memories will never be gone. The Movie Theater were I've been many times. "Hey There It's Yogi Bear" Lives on in my Mind. New store and apartments where Franklin Furniture use to be. And Jimmy's drug Store, are gone now you see. J.J. Newsberries, I remember it well. Bought my Beatles albums there, This I Can Tell. My first sight of Santa, in his beard so white. I ran screaming and cried, with all of my might. Dean Jewelers, where I got most of my 45's. And reel to reel tapes. I got them with pride. My memories live on.They will never die. I love them and keep them with such pride. They are part of my being. My Memories I keep seeing. Franklin sure is my home town. My frown is now Upside Down. I still live in the Family House, you see. I feel so happy, memories come to me. My memories won't die, they live on in my mind. But things go on, the passage of time. I love it so much, Franklin My home town. Veteran's Memorial don't put them down. My memories won't die, they'll never go away. I guess I'm all done. Nothing more left to say.

My Farewell To Millie

By William Wyllie My Beautiful friend. I love you to no end. You Made me smile, For you I'd walk a mile. We had many good times. For you I'd give you my last dime. Breakfast where we first met. Became close friends, you are the best. I'd spot you from far away. With your firey red hair. For you I do care. Good Times between us,it was great. Sometimes one of us would be a little late. My dear friend, My love to you I send. You were honest and Open,not afraid to speak your mind. A special friend, till the end of time. I'm happy that I found you, if only for a little while. When we were together, you always made me smile. We always had fun at the Senior center cafe. I treasure these moments,I just have to say. With Richard,or Jennifer or Loud Mouth Wayne. We laughed and we sang, tho you were in pain. But your pain is gone now, In heaven you now reside. But my love for you won't stop, my love I won't hide. My heart is broken, Just a few more words will be spoken. Thanks for these memories, I'll treasure through all time. These moments are so special. And They are All Mine.

Missing You So Much ...

Missing You So Much By William Wyllie.... I miss you so much, the pain deep down. When you are not here, I'm wearing a frown. You give me such joy,something about you attracts. I want you so near,Your love just impacts. When I can't talk to you,I just get upset. When the other girls try to speak,I just reject. It is only you,and you alone. I want you right now,to be my very own. The beautiful lady, that you are. You're my bright shinning star. I have not heard from you in over a week. It's you that I want, It's you that I seek. So please come back, let me hear you say. I Love You, I Love You, in every way. I just have to have you,there just is no doubt. If I can't have you, I'll scream and I'll shout. Tell me you want me, Tell me you care. Let me run my fingers through you long silky black hair. Let me touch you face and hold you so tight. I'll hold you so close, with all of my might. Oh baby, oh baby,It just has to be. I need you right here, close beside Me.

DelCarte -

By William Wyllie We stroll through Del-Cart on this cloudy day. I photograph the wonder of nature, I'm Happy to say. As we follow the Story Walk,Faith reads each one as we go. The day becomes sunny,I'm happy to know. The sun gives off reflections of the tree's. Making scenic shots for my eyes to see. A small warf I see I Walk out to the end. Photograph's I snap,and soon I will send. Faith, Lily and I cross a large bridge, I feel it sway from our wait. I Feel the motion,good thing I took A motion sickness pill,Don't want to be fish bait. Beautiful Fall day,warm sun,I feel alright. I feel good,I never feel uptight. A Walk through nature,I feel so grand. I hope with my Love someday I will stand. Not even a mile did we walk.

A Walk With Faith (In My Heart)

A Walk With Faith (In My Heart) By William Wyllie...... To Beaver Pond We Will Stroll. I have not been there since long time ago. Chilson Beach A Beautiful Place. In my Mind I travel through time and space. To a time long ago,When I was just a lad. To this same place with Brother and sister. What a time we had. Today I walk with Faith. And Photo's I take. Lots of trees by the pond,Grow wild. In the past very few, when I was a child. We walk to a clearing,a boat ramp looks fine. I walk to the edge, Should I step one more time? As I get closer to the water,one more step I may go. A Big black think snake, pops out of a hole. With a startled surprise,right back I did jump. I did it so fast I heard a loud thump. In a blink of an eye the snake popped back in it's hole. And that is when real fast I did stroll. Faith said with concern "I Would have jumped just the same" With a twinkle in her eye. Good friends we remain.

A beautiful lady,from a far away land. I just want to sit and hold your hand. A lady of class, you have returned. The flame of love inside me still burns. You waited in the shadows,but now you are back. So Happy you stayed, Our Love will not lack. Together we will be, Together we are right. Together Forever, Our Love will take flight.
