D(e)ad

so scared of losing yourself
to a future disease
you forgot about the rage inside
and your family's grief

there's a lifetime of love here
but it's getting hard to see
this thing you think you're fighting
well it's really fighting me

It's Worth Mentioning

It's Worth Mentioning

I trust you.
I cherish you.
And most off all truly, truly love you.

And it's worth mentioning.

I adore you.
Forever will protect you (from things seen and unseen)
This how much you mean to me.
And it's worth mentioning.

Many will never find that forever love like me.
Forever go through life searching for fantasy and dreams.
But in you I have my reality.

And it's worth mentioning this to your face.
In my heart, you have a special place.

LEARNING

LEARNING

You’re never going to have the cake
Learn to like the taste of bread.

You’re never going to wear diamonds
Learn to appreciate cut glass.

You’re never going to hear applause
Learn to marvel at the stillness.

You’re never going to win the gold
Learn to admire the shine of copper.

You’re never going to be adored
Learn to love just being liked.

You’re never going to live forever
Learn to be your best today.
ljm

One outta six ain't too bad.

THINGS TO COUNT ON

THINGS TO COUNT ON

You can count on

Babies to cry… and
Cars to break down

You can count on
Teenagers to lose their minds

You can count on
Children’s kisses to fill your heart… and
Flowers and trees to bud in springtime

You can count on
Traffic to be worse
When you are late for work… and

The Moon to glow… and
The Sun to shine

You can count on
Fish on Fridays… and

Fourth of July Bar-b-que...
Black-eyed peas on New Years Eve... and

Me
Always
Loving
you

if i was a boulder

1d Words in Bloom

Fisher

if i was a boulder

if i was a boulder with moss for hair,
i'd find a stream and settle there.
watching bugs and fish go by,
i think i'd like this rocky life.

the sun will brush my hair just right,
and birds will rest their wings from flight.
and underneath my stony feet,
rabbits will burrow, and love, and sleep.

and when a hawk shades ground below,
the mice will scurry and hide and know
that i am a boulder
with moss that grows.

the urge to exist and do nothing else smh
