You probably don't know
That I've had a horrible day,
Struggling all day to make it
Through, feeling this way.
And you would go so far
As to say, "this one's on me",
Which makes me tear up,
And you say "don't worry".
I have faith again in humans,
Despite all I've been through,
And some people ask why I give,
And it's all because of you.
It's because of what you did for me,
When I was down, you picked me up,
Whereas most people these days,
They wouldn't give a ****
Pardon my language,
But it's true you see,
Because of what you have done,
I stopped thinking about me, me, me.
The world is a better place when we
Take care of each other,
We share this planet, and
Through Christ, we're all sisters and brothers.

I haven't seen a sandy beach
for over a decade
suddenly
She graced our back door
with a plain cardboard box in hand
brimming with beach strewn beauties
after hearing a stray comment
made at a family dinner
she held a few months ago
these stunners are
destined for a future flower bed
and jewelry to adorn my neck
my mind swimming
with possibilities
such a simple box
of treasures
like gold from foreign lands
cradled in my surprised arms
while pieces of Florida
smiled up at me
