What do you see when you look my way?
Do you see me, or do you see something else?
Do you see all the imperfections I possess?
These imperfections make me feel less.
Like the shell of a girl in a picture frame.
Do you see what I see in the mirror looking back at me?
A body, all deformed but shapely; this body has had two beautiful babies.
What do you see when you look at my face?
Do you see the unevenness of my eyebrows and the squint in my left eye?
Maybe there are enough glasses for it to hide behind.
Do you see the freckles splattered on my face?
The sun hasn't been gentle on this aging face.
What do you see when you look at me?
Do you see my darkened eyes, so deep and dark that the colors almost don't shine?
Do you see this hair? It's starting to thin with little strands of gray.
What do you see when you look at this aging woman who is almost forty years old?
Maybe…me?

Between the world and me,
a fateful friend,
a flowing fountain.
Between the world and me,
a picture in a frame,
a field of wildflowers.
Between the world and me,
a night that keeps the stars
and hangs the moon.
Between the world and me,
a compass to a map,
a ray of sunshine.
Between the world and me,
a book with a bookmark
marking my spot,
a happy ending to a story.
Between the world and me,
you are a lamp guiding me
into my dreams,
a song without words,
written in stone.
All the wonderful things
between the world and me.

Cover me in blankets
Cover me in warmth
Cover me from heartache
Cover me from storms
Cover me when I'm frightened
Cover me when I'm alone
Cover me with sweetness
Cover me with joy
Cover me with justice
Cover me with peace
Cover me with protection
Cover me while I sleep
Will you cover me always?
Cover me with your amazing grace
I know you will cover me
You don't see me as a disgrace
You cover me because I am yours
You gave your life for me
You cover me every day when you're watching over me
My comfort and my fortune
My eternal friend
You've covered me from the beginning
And you'll cover me till the end

In the quiet space of friendship,
is a place in which we fly
Not lovers, but friends under the same
stars in the same big, old sky.

Our bond, like a tapestry, threaded
and woven with care.
A sweet, pure friendship with such beautiful flair—

No need for the moon to whisper into our ear,
for there's  laughter, stories, and music we hear.

It's in this friendship dance that we do.
We both seem like mirrors,
reflecting each other.
A bond that's pure, almost
like sister and brother.

So here's to something that
will live on like space—
this friendship with you,
time cannot erase.

For in the end, you and I wll always be
such wonderful friends.

What’s the dill pickle?
Why are you so green?
Where do you come from?
Why do people think you’re mean?

You always taste so yummy,
Making my tummy very glad.
When I can’t have pickles, I
Get very sad.

Those green delicious spears such a delightful treat.
Some like them sour, and some weird ones like them sweet.

Pickles are the best snack in a lunch to pack,
Take them on a picnic, or eat them straight off the rack.

The best pickles are the ones straight from the cold.
Don’t forget the baby pickles; those things are so bold.

So when you hear, “What’s the dill pickle?”
Don’t think someone is asking you what’s up.
It’s them showing how much they love this snack.
This little snack you love to crunch.

I can't explain my feelings why do I feel so sad?
It's almost as if I'm angry,
Leanne, why do you get so mad?
I feel like I'm alone here just all by myself,
waiting for the clock to tick, or turn the page to something else.
So emotional, so forgotten, and so blue.
Leanne, why does it feel like no one knows what the hell you're going through?
It's not very easy you can't just flip a switch.
It's almost like I have a scratch that can't even itch.
My emotions are so crazy I'm right here on the edge.
Please tell my mind to "stop it", "get away from that ledge".
I don't wish to harm me, or anybody else.
I just feel like I'm suffering, deep inside myself.
Leanne, what is this mess you have become?
What wrong inside your mind?
Can I please just feel normal and not crazy all the time.
My hands get so shaky, the biggest tears start to fall.
Sometimes they last a minute, then sometimes they don't stop for long.
I don't understand, I feel happy but my emotions get so confused.
I've got all I've ever wanted, but control of my own mood.
I may be a big baby, at least that what I feel I am.
Leanne can you please act like an adult now and not some childish little lamb?
Here I am almost forty years old, is that whats wrong with me?
Have I gotten to the age now, I feel bad for being me.
I feel like someone is always asking me why, when the tears start to flow.
It's like they have a problem with "I don't really know".
I know I'll be alright, and everything will be just fine.
I just feel I need someone around or beside me all the time.
Leanne Stop it!,get out of your head.
Look alive your not bed stricken or dead.
You have such beauty in your life, Leanne just smile!
I feel like sometimes Leanne is just letting everybody down.
