If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile

Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it

I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter

I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease

Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up

Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go

I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be

Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly

If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team

Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best

You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this

What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up

When I think of my mom I think of malt o meal muffins When I think of my dad Memories of a child Chasing us around the circle
