Now I nurse you down to sleep,
I pray the Lord to make you keep
sleeping for at least an hour
because I know He has that power.
But I may find, that even still,
in this He grants you your own will.
My Brain
My brain can fly,
but it often flits.
And when it runs,
it skips and trips.
Make Up Your Head
The decisions you have to make today–
if you could, what would you pay
to have someone to make them for you?
You can get a maid to make your bed,
but they can not make up your head,
so that is something you will have to do.
Pain
I guess the good thing about feeling this way,
is that I know how you hurt and so I can relate.
But, there’s that good thing, so it’s not the same.
For you, there’s no point of pain day after day.
If I Were You
“If I were you, life would be always be easy,”
says the back of our minds to the girl in the shot.
And then we go back to living our own lives,
surprised and confused on the days that it’s not.
Know
Thank you for saying that you don’t know.
That’s almost all that I needed to know.
It’s as important as knowing the answer– you know?
Pleasantly Surprised
Pleasantly surprised to find
that you turned out to be someone
that I could agree to disagree with,
and that we could agree to disagree together.
What are the chances that
the tornado of life that came
between childhood and now
would pick us both up and set us both down
in the same different place,
sitting across the table from each other,
sipping coffee and talking on the level.
