Jesus said, "Simon... Son of Jonah!"
And Peter answered, "Y-Yes Lord...?"
Yeshuah then asked, "Do you Love Me..."
"... More than the others do?"
Peter answered, "Y-Yes Lord... Lord You know that I love You..."
The Lord asked, "Do you Love Me?"
the rock answered, Yes, Lord... You know I Love You."
.
.
.
"Do you... Love Me?"
"Yes! Lord... You know everything... You... You know that I Love You."
*(Notes: Reference)


And if you ask me, "Do you love me?"
I'll answer, "Yes, I do."
"Do you love me?"
"Yes, I really really do love you."
"Do you love me?"
"Yes, I do... love you."

Seconds passed, since you were last on my mind
Just hours passed, since I last thought of how you are doing
Days passed, since we last talked
Even weeks passed, so long a time
And months passed, since I last saw you
How long has it been?

Yet, not a day passed when you weren't on my mind
Not a moment passed when I didn't miss you
Naught a time passed, nor a single second, whence I can deny you.

The times may change
And I may have changed
But one thing did not change...
I am sure of
No, not in the slightest bit
It never did
And it never will.

"Do you love me?"
"Yes,... I do... love you."
I did love
I still do love you
I am in love with you
I love you
I really do love you
I always did
And I forevermore, always, will love you.

I am not sure, of that point of no return
I doubt that exists for me
You may feel me less now or even none at all
But, I assure you I am always there by your side
Because, "Baby if you say you want me to stay"
"I'll change my mind."

Ti Amo Murasaki Rozu Zutto, Zutto, Eien ni...

Days, How Long has it been?

Why does everyone I know get paid pregnancy leave?
Why don’t I get even one day off to grieve?
Why do I have to feel bad to ask people when they are due?
Why do others feel free to tell me what to do?
(Why do I have to wake up in red?
Why do I have to sleep alone in my bed?
Why do my mikvah’s always fall out on the wrong time
Why does my life sometimes taste like lemon-lime?)
Why are my friends popping babies every year?
Why do I have so much love to share?
Why when I kiss a little kid does she run away?
Why does her mom tell me she doesn’t enjoy being kissed by day?
Why do I need to feel satisfied with my job as a wife?
Why do other people have so much more in their life?
Why do I shop for so many kids costumes?
Why do I dread every Yom Tov as it looms?
Why do I ask why if it won’t get me anywhere?
Why do I ask why if it won’t make anything clear?
So I won’t ask why for I want to continue to live!
And I won’t ask why as I continue to give.
I know I have a father in heaven who loves me like insane.
I know that He shares in every ounce of my pain.
I know that He runs the world the way only He could.
I know that He gives me so much blessing and good.
I know that I need to continue doing what’s right.
I know that I need to daven for everyone to have their Yeshuah in sight.
I know that I shouldn’t give into the frustration,
I know that I should live a life full of appreciation.
I know that He does what’s best and I’ll emerge stronger,
I know that I need to hold on just a little longer.
I know to live and maximize my days meanwhile,
I know to always try my best, enjoy my life and smile!

Let my music rise
Fragrance to Your heart
Let the notes take shape
As wondrous worship art
Let my voice have colors
Every lovely hue
Let it be a tapestry
I dedicate to You.

Oh, Amen, mighty Yahweh!
Oh, yes, let it be!
Yeshuah, Holy Spirit!
Let my voice be free!
YES! I'll sing YOU PRAISE...

FOR YOU SING OVER ME!


People think I'm foolish
Singing all the time,
But I don't care at ALL! You see
Singin's not a crime!
People think I'm crazy
For singin' to myself
But I'm singin' to the Great I AM!
This I just can't help!

[Chorus].

— The End —
