All these people missing each other
And more often than not
They are separated by
A Distance they never wanted
Marisa Lu Makil Dec 2015
I live for the moments.
Not the times or the days.
I live for the memories
When I'm swept away.

I live for sweet things
Hugs and kisses at night
For opening the door for me
And turning off the lights

I live for porchstep-kisses
And stars hung in the sky
I live for the wonderful things
The ones that get me by

I live for actions, not just people
I watch what they do
A deep head-thrown-back laugh
Little things get me through

I live for the soft things
A bird that flutters by
The jumping of a fish
The kiss of butterflies

I live for the love
And for the lovely things
I love the thought of fantasy
Of kings and of Queens

My heart beats for the good times
The times of happiness
Where all of my anxiety
Shrinks away like mist

I breathe for the gentle times
The rise and fall of a chest
For late-night sipping cocktails
Until there's nothing left

I live for pouring out emotions
I didn't think I had
And saying I'm upset when
I didn't know I was sad

I live for the moments
And the times of trust
When I know they'll last forever
Like friendship's loving rust.
I live for moments, not times or days.

I don’t understand
Why the most important thing
Is to be physically beautiful.

I don’t understand why it is required that
We do our best to impress
People we don’t even know
It’s all for show

So why do we go on
Dragging our feet
Smiling on the street
But crying inside

When the tears that streak
Our eyes
When we cry
Show the beauty we hide

We may be broken
We may be sad
But we are all beautiful
On the inside
We are all beautiful. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.

Whenever I remember
That they like her better
I remind myself
I'm surrounded by
Amazing numbers of better people.

There's a place where there is peace
You are with me there
Rest, my child, and find your own
Leave your cares

Rest, my dear, and find your sleep
Underneath the trees
Birds will roost, and be content
Rest my dear

There's a song that's coming here
Runs into my ears
Gives me laughter in my heart
Dries my salty tears

Meet me there, my restless child
Close your sleepy eyes
There's a place where we will meet
Underneath the skies

Sink so deep into the earth
Where the grass will grow
And your weary sighs will plant
Flowers in the snow

There's a song that I have heard
Long into the breeze
Sing it with me now, my child
Underneath the trees

Meet me there
Meet me there
Rest your weary eyes, my child
And meet me there

Lullaby goodnight, my child
Do what you do best
Find the place where sparrows roost
Find the place of rest
A lullaby I wrote for a kid I help take care of.

We must walk in light
And not in darkness
Speak of truth
And not of night

Think of good intent
And not of evil
Love like God
And live like Christ

We must treat our friends
The same as we
Give to them
And not take back

Jesus loves the weak
And the burdened
Holds them close
And ne'r let's go

Lord

Give me strength to
Love the wounded
Care for them
As you did me

Show them how you
Brought me-wanderer
Down to kneel
Before the king

Give me peace like
Bright blue rivers
Let me pass
it to my own

Give me lungs to
Sing your praises
You are I AM to
Make it known
Marisa Lu Makil Nov 2015
A song echoes here in my ears
It sings in a place no one hears
It twitters along
And sings bold and strong
It's lullaby calms all my fears.
Why I sing when I work.  :)
