I wish to be
Your wish to me

I hope to Fit
Your undeniable wit

I learn to know
Your blinding glow

I tried to find
Your reasons in my mind

I failed you in the end
Your heart never did mend

His last words; I tried
He last heard; I know

The next day, he saw angels fly
The next week he felt them glow

The years stacked on like fire
The same years he met people he didn’t know

Until the time came like chain on a wire
Until he met the person again, that made his heart grow

Today I lived
Not just once. But twice
Without knowledge to give

I felt many ways of pain
And seen twice the rainy days
So, what was there to gain

I climbed the mountain ranges
Sunk down to the ocean floor
But what was left to change

I grew up quick
For where I came from, you have to
So, I started my wall, brick by brick

Today I learned
Not everything works out
And so, my drive, continues to burn

Golden sunsets and skies of blue
All confess my love to you

A small house on a corner stone
Creates a place for you to call home

Steady hands and shaky feet
Is what I get each time we meet

Yet, when I’m with you, I’m as light as a feather
Here’s to a love, that will last forever

There was a time, I felt these feelings before
Words can’t describe it
A train with no tack, the earth with no core
Like an old man’s wisdom and wit

I freeze you know
Stuck in movement, praying my eye’s will see
For one look and they’re blinded by her glow
Although the risk is worth it to me

She’s not the first and she may not be last
She’s a warm summer day, out on the bay
A sailboat with sails that need no cast
Or a clear conscious with no past

I’ve felt these feelings before
Some with and without her
The kind of feeling that makes eagles soar
The kind of love that comes in goes in a blur

I dedicate this: to her
