Loving Paige is easy
What’s difficult is how
I feel when old thought habits
Beg me to disavow
Loving Paige is easy
She’s responsible and kind
She’s far outpaced her former self
Who suffered from behind
I want to be that pillar
The strength that gives support
But Paige is miles ahead of me
Quite the resourceful sort
Loving Paige is easy
Its the mirror I avoid
But knowing her is leaving me
Feeling overjoyed.
Yesterday I mourned
Today I cycled through
The thought —
You’ll never love us all
Again forever
I would love to trade my ashes
For beauty
To never live under the shadow
Of the valley of death
But beauty comes from ashes
Not separated from
Or as a result of perfection;
You must die to live again
Where do you go
when the world’s upside down
when your very best friends
look upon you and frown
Who do you seek
when the going gets blue
who can you trust
who will always be true
Jesus is Who
He’s the one that makes new
He’ll never desert you
Sitting righteous in pew
He’ll always love hue
though your virtues are few
He’ll be your glory
when your shine becomes goo
He’ll battle old Saul
for the right for your soul
It’s Jesus who loves you
so roll, baby, roll.
There’s a dragon in my Tree
He’s watching over Me
And no one knows
which way He blows
He loves to sit and be
He’s been there all the time
looking so sublime
It seems no bother
that it snows
A fire nose
has He
Today I offer to the wind
my skin so thin
unsteady spine
a thought that cares
about what’s mine
A wish for love
a want for fine
A hug in winter
toast by fire
Today I leave
all thought
‘twould mire
I subjugate
my heart
to hire
no quarrelsome
irate
desire
(In Remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.)
I can tell you how to get through the disappointment
With every breath
You love
