she hugged herself tight
she told herself ''it's alright''
cause the world couldn't

Poppies after rain
Waving scarlet petticoats
A garden can-can

what a fine love
a destiny of stories
to listen as she speaks
she does anything for me
what more could a man ask
a strong independent woman
& it be no matter the task
so for you I'm practicing a
true understanding
to be the best companion
your king with comprehension
cause lord knows your struggle
as a queen, the constant battles
that come with pursuin all your dreams
to me, you should get all the
diamond rings, adventures with
serene, ocean views like vivid scenes
from a movie... you know
of your favorite matineé, thats smoothe
like your skin in your favorite
Lingerie. Pretty brown eyes
that shine just like a ray
that beams from the blinds
on a warm & sunny day
She's Beautiful...

"daddy's dying",
what did he mean?
daddies don't die!
don't be obscene

i looked at my father
so thin and so drawn
but he smiled with laughter
eyes like the dawn

but the dawn never came
for those smiling eyes
as G-d came to claim
his soul for the skies

we seldom appreciate
what we have or we own
until it's too late
and we're left all alone
