perhaps it's up with the stars
perhaps it's hidden in a book
perhaps it's right in front of our faces
and we must open our eyes and look.
perhaps it's stored in an old dusty attic
maybe in the farthest crevice of our minds
or perhaps these answers that we so fiercely pursue
we were never meant to find,

a mother's love

I wanted you to learn
in a way I never could
I wanted you to try
in a way I never would
I wanted you to travel
things I wanted you to see
I wanted you to experience a world
that was never given to me
I wanted compassion to fill your heart
and knowledge to fill your mind
I wanted you to believe in a God
that I myself never could find
I wanted you to never feel inadequate
never a moment where inequality would exist
I wanted you to have it all
no opportunity would go by missed
My baby I wanted these things for you
I wanted them since that very first day
I wanted these things for you
And that is why I gave you away.

Take Your Sweet Time

I don't know where you are
and I don't know where you've been
I do not know your name
or the color of your skin
your story I've never heard
your laugh is a mystery
your trials and your demons
just an unknown vacancy
see the world thinks we are strangers
but i feel you here in my heart
we were meant to find each other
we were destined from the start
but much life I have to live
tribulations I must endure
before you my dear
come knocking on my door
so I will wait forever
patience will become my friend
until I finally find the road
that leads me to our end
see you too have a journey
one just as important as mine
my love, be safe
and take your sweet time

Last Trip Around The Sun

so scared of the very act of dying
that you often forget to live
so scared of getting hurt
that you often forget to forgive

so many words you keep inside
for fear of what they'll say
so many dreams left undreamnt
because you're holding out for one day

so much time spent in front of a screen
waiting for a virtual like
so many trips not taken
the timing was never right

so much of the world you haven't seen
so many people you haven't met
some live in places of poverty and war
yet you choose to politely forget

when the buzzer finally goes off
and the good lord calls you up
will you be satisfied with this life?
will you have done enough?

you see each day here is a gift
so live it like it's special one
because dear friend you will never know when
it's your last trip around the sun.

it's true
that there will be a day
in the future
it may be near or far
and on this day
things will be better than they are right now
in that moment
the feelings of
hopelessness
fear
loneliness
regret
they will be gone
in their place
will stand feelings of
excitement
joy
wonder
hope
and love
how cool is that then
that you have this day to look forward to
