The winds of change are coming soon.
You can already see them starting to affect the moon.
The winds of change make the days shorter and nights colder.
Not that that's a bad thing.
It can make people want to be closer than shoulder to shoulder.
To the trees, the winds of change are like school bus drivers.
the breeze carries their leaves away, drops them safely on the ground, then returns them bright and new when spring rolls back around.
Change can be scary. But not all change is bad.
Just think of the pumpkins and cider and good times to be had.

The wind howls louder
than a wolf to the moon.
But don't worry.
Spring is coming soon
and will stay until June.

For some people Valentine's day is so meaningful and full of love. For others it's full of disgust and unlove. For me it's a bit of both. It's just been another year full of growth. Past few years I've had no one to celebrate it with. It's all been a big myth. In the next few years I just want someone special on that day.  I'll even take them out to a cafe.

She was feeling
Hopeless
She was kneeling
Teary eyed, helpless
I stood at her side
Tried to match her stride
Make her feel not so alone
Then she told me; it was chilling to the bone

Oh mom
Please just stay calm
It's okay not to be okay
So listen to me when I say;

Mom, you're not the only one
You smile and you call me ***
Being the super-mom
Acting tough and calm
But inside you cry
You cry and you cry
And hey
Please listen to me when I say;

Mom, you're not the only one
You smile and you call me ***
Being so sweet
But remember the sand under your feet
The clouds in the sky
Birds passing by
And oh, don't forget
The sand castle and your daughters

Mom, you're not the only one
But get well soon
I'll be home
So just look at the moon
I'll see it too.

Mom, you're not the only one.

I keep telling myself that things will get better soon
