Will envy be the cause,
For the last fighter to go down?
Will jealousy conquer,
And continue to tear lives apart?
Will fame really give solace
To those who have had none?
What of you and me?
Will our common sense prevail,
Or will the world have its way with us?
No! We have God on our side!
We have each other, too!
Life is good!
When the world gave me mud pie…
I pretended it was soft serve ice cream
And shared the love.
I caught a falling star
What else could I do
I cupped it gently in my palm
To hold and give to you
But as I held it
It grew bright
So, I thought I’d let it fly away
I reached up high
Towards the sky
But, in my palm, it stayed
I said, “You’re free! You can go!”
It only stared at me
Then words unspoken
Pierced my heart
Where once was misery
And something happened
Then and there
Within my very core
Deep inside
This broken soul
Is brokenness – no more
Her protean nature
Made her difficult to read
Just when I thought
I’d figured her out
It was I who would concede
Through years of observation
And patience at their best
Fail, still would I
A gullible guy
Until my final day of rest
Oh, my gypsy soul…
If only…
Drape me in the warmth
Of your ever-loving arms
Embrace all of me into you
Feel our hearts beat
Our breathing
Our love
I am not whole without you
I sit here and watch the other kids play
Another short night
Another long day
But I don’t feel sorry for myself anymore
I discovered books
And began to explore
From little kids flying
Holding each other’s hands
To a far away place
That they called Neverland
And a giant white whale
Far out at sea
With a man who would kill it
To be who he’d be
Late at night there’s a knocking
Upon someone’s door
Could it be The Raven
No, “’tis the wind and nothing more”
So, please don’t feel sorry
I’m as happy little guy
My legs may not work
But my limit is the sky
