"Pull your self together"
is what they say to me
It isn't all that easy-
I've lost the string, you see
Anxieties keep coming
they overwhelm my mind
and without some mental quietness
that string is hard to find
So give me quiet thinking
help me see I needn't strive,
that the world will go on spinning
and I will remain alive

You've seen me smile
Through the highest highs
Held me when I've sobbed
And dried my eyes.

No matter what
And no matter when
You've proven yourself
The truest of friends.

Wherever fate takes us
Whatever we do
You'll always love me
And I'll always love you

She had a tendency
To douse me in kerosene
And light me on fire
With a flicker of her eyes
And a match strike smile

When we look above
And see the sky
So loudly we hear its call
Whispering our name
Inviting us to bathe
In the glory of its lights
When the sky is painted
We sigh at its beauty
In love with its dizzying dsiplay
A concert of colors
For the soul to listen to
And when the light gently fades
Over the hill top
A new world arises
Cool and dark
Gentle and mesmerizing
We are washed
In our ancestors glow
One could not know so little
Of our sky
Always beautiful
Always with us
Deep in our minds
Deep in our hearts
The sky knows us
And we know it

starry eyes
starry smile
you’re a universe
on earth
too beautiful
too bright
for this world
maybe that’s why
you’re not meant
to stay
