(2014)
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
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
Springtime means Berry pickin’ In warm sun Therapeutic Part of me
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
