    About this ebook

    Sentiments is Michael Colavitos monument to the memories, both happy and sad, which have shaped his life.
    The dreams, the aspirations, the loves, the fantasies, all combine to form a dynamic reason that enables Mr. Colavito to fall in love with all aspects of life, intensely so, adding the aromatic flavors of feeling to his versesverses that always begin and end with love.
    Sentiments is a self portrait of the Poet. The delineations he cherishes, the nuances in which he glories: a childs smile, a ray of the sun, a pretty face, and always love:

      GO FOR IT

      THIS BOOK IS GRATEFULLY DEDICATED

      MY WRITING BOOK

      All the beauty of life I see with my eyes

      I put in my writing book

      All the glory of Heaven I see in the skies

      I put in my writing book.

      All the happy, the sad, the good, and the bad

      The loves I saw a long time before

      The hopes and the dreams I search, always, for

      The questions which live in my mind, evermore

      I put in my writing book.

      When I feel lonesome - Feeling so blue

      When there’s no place to go

      When there’s nothing to do

      When I want to remember the good I once knew

      I look in my writing book.

      My writing book is a memory

      Of the life I’ve lived in the past

      Each page is a day of the life I knew

      The days which never did last.

      I’ll write every day as I go on my way

      So tomorrow I can see, then

      The life I am living this very day

      I will never live, ever again

      Except -

      In my writing book.

      THE SANDS OF LOVE

      Come with me to the empty beach

      Walk with me in the sand

      Let me pretend you’re mine tonight

      As we walk hand in hand

      Help me find a starfish

      Washed up by the sea

      Let’s sit and tease the edge of tide

      And imagine you love me

      Let’s write our names within the sand

      As though you were my love

      Let’s lie down on our backs awhile

      And watch the moon above

      Let’s spend the night together

      Only you and me

      Pretending that we two are one

      As the sand is to the sea

      Then when it’s time for us to leave

      Some sand, please, give to me

      To help me never to forget

      Your beautiful memory

      SOMEONE CARES

      When life seems blue and all in vain

      When in place of joy is found only pain

      When the road you walk is wet with rain

      There’s always someone who cares.

      When the mountain you climb has no top

      When you lose your way and you want to stop

      When the hope you carry seems to always drop

      There’s always someone who cares.

      Turn your head and look around

      Lift your eyes up off the ground

      Set your sights and set them high

      Look for the sunshine in the sky

      The steps of life are there to climb

      Take each step one at a time

      And keep in mind as you climb the stairs

      There’s always someone - someone who cares.

      If you don’t believe what I say is true

      Give me your hand, I care for you

      MY KIND OF WOMAN

      Did God make a woman for my eyes to see

      A woman who likes the same things as me

      I’ve searched and I’ve searched, traveled far and wide

      For one to share my interests, to stay by my side.

      No fast cars, no loud bars, these things are not for me

      Firesides and kiddie rides are the things I like to see

      A little home in the country with flowers, grass and trees

      Children running all about scraping hearts and knees.

      Cuddling by the fireside at the end of day

      Speaking words of life and love while hearing music play

      Sharing life together, just home and family

      Enjoying all the beauty of nature there to
