(2015)
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray
I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
Desperate for his attention Knowing it will drive him away Jealous of a game - how lame Choking self-esteem where I lay Desperate for his affection
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
