Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
The human heart ...leaps and jumps ...races and sings ...sighs and groans The treacherous heart can
The medication is not me But neither is the sickness it tre… You may hear its effects In my voice In my opinions
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
