Today you grow older,
Though it may not seem
And I'll try to sing a song to you
but phone conversations aren't my sort of thing.
Dad I love you beyond words and I just pray
that prayers, love, and kindness,
surround you on this special birthday.

Wish I were there to celebrate with you!

I had a dream featuring one unknown to me
     one look and that's all it took
his eyes had me drowning in an endless, beautiful sea

I remember that toxic dream in vivid color
     he asked me something in that café that I will always remember
"May I do the honor?"

Before my knowledge was struck, like a match lighted few too many times
     he took my face in his hands
and our senses flowed like endless rhymes

I savored the kiss in which was my first
     but it just so happens that when I would wake
my lonely heart would burst
*and still it aches

What am I to do when something makes you yell
     making you seem mad?
How am I to feel when you say "it's ok"
     making your mood hard to tell?
Should I be sorry for something I may not have done?
     *this everyday confusion keeps going on  and on...
