And would I sing a song for you
Quiet soft
Spoken against your heart
That you might know me forever

Would you laugh then
Eyes lighting up
Unspeakable joy sticky sweet on your lips?
That you might know my heart

Would you dream of me
In springtime meadows
Whose tall blades of grass whisper up to the sky
That you might feel me

And would I look into your soul
Look into your heart
And wrap myself in your peace and warmth
That you might feel my love

The toils of my hands,
The marks of my work,
I’m meant to find pleasure in these

Solomon’s words,
Gentle and stern,
Have genuinly provoked me

Gently please,
handle with care.
if you play too hard,
I might get scared.

If you shake me too much,
my curls will undo
The color will drain from
my face, cause of you.

If you grab me too rough,
I will try to break free
I have had enough
of your misery.

If you hold me too tightly
afraid to let go,
I will run away
into the great unknown.

so please, I beg you,
I'll beg and I'll plead.
Handle me gently,
don't make me leave.

Dear stranger, please be kind
I had another stressful night
I couldn’t sleep, this makes night nine
Dear stranger, please be kind

Dear stranger, please be patient
I can’t think straight, I know you hate it
My thoughts and words can’t find their placement
Dear stranger, please be patient

Dear stranger, please be gentle
I’m already broken, trying to reassemble
I know it’s easy to be judgmental
But stranger, please be gentle

Dear stranger, please understand
I am doing the best I can
I can only carry so much with these hands
Dear stranger, please understand

It takes more effort to be kind than cruel
But why should effort decide the rules?
We all have a load so heavy
Why make it harder to carry?

You came in my life,
Dear,sweet wife,
You make me complete.
You bring tears,
You bring laughter,
You bring sunshine and rain.
You remain mirrored and stamped in my heart,
Your reflection  I behold at every angle.
Please don't leave me,my lovely Maple,
I need you my gentle swan,
Without you  I will be a broken piano,
With only the black keys, out of tune.
