I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
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
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
