Amen
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
I cannot let you hold my happiness For your hand to caress or to drop It is not healthy It is not safe For your happiness to depend on an… I’m taking it back but no longer r…
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
La presión atrapada Busca por donde salir Tapo mi boca Se me sale por los ojos Tapo mis ojos
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
