Triumphant killer
Reads the morning newspaper
Sipping his coffee

want nothing, say nothing, feel nothing..
Safe.

show nothing, take nothing, give nothing..
Blank.

She's a chameleon with a steely soul.
She'll not sell herself for another to hold.

love nothing, care nothing, keep nothing..
Whole.

surrender nothing, live nothing, die nothing..
A role.

She's a chameleon with her mind turned loose.
She'll not be coming back for anyone's use.

Listen...

As they show you
their many needs and ways
From the moment they are born
To the very last of your days

Their poetry is in motion
They're language is in play
Their cries for help, behavior
Their wisdom, confounds "your way"

Love...

Though you may be tired
And doubt plagues your mind
You crave quiet open spaces
And Sanity is so hard to find

Know each grace is given
For travelers to find a path
Branches placed to trip you
Land you on humility's softened grass

Learn...

To see youself the prisoner
You keep under lock and key
The one you flog for disappointing
The one who begs to be set free

To let go of your agenda
Your illusion of control
Listen, Love and Learn
All that's needed to be made whole.
