I Wonder

I wonder where you are
If you've really gone so far
If you've forgotten who I am
And what we used to share

I wonder what  you do
If you're happier this way
If you sometimes wish to return
Even if only to say hello

I wonder if you wonder
About me, as I, about you
If you remember what you told me
As we said goodbye-

I wonder if I'll ever know
If I'm meant to understand
I wonder how I'll manage
To forgive and start again

I wonder if you'll seek me out
If I'll ever hear your voice
I wonder if I must just accept
It seems I have no choice

Marching Down The Hall

Teasing moments of memories
Flit through my unsettled mind
Stilled and framed
And hung to remember
As I move along
An endless narrow hallway
Life
And when I am out of breath
I stop and peer at each picture
Framed, Captured
Now just a marching row
Of memories
Of what once was living moments
Life
I am living a new moment
I must continue marching
Down the hall
For soon I'll find today
Stilled and framed
And hung upon this very wall

I Love You Little Girl


I love you little girl
Just for being you
I love you because you are-
Simply existing
Brings me love and joy
I love you little girl
For continuing all that was-
Drawing it into the present
Creating an awesome future
You are now part of a special chain
Connecting us to one another
With boundless love and joy
We live
Continuing forward
It’s your link
The role you play
In joining the end
With the beginning
By just being you
I love you little girl

Whatever!

Whatever
I don’t care
You want me to
But I don’t
Just whatever

Whatever
I won’t pretend
You want me to
But I refuse
Just whatever!

Whatever
I can’t explain
You want me to
But I will not
Just whatever

Whatever
I am not you
You want me to be
But I never will-
Just whatever

Sail Away

Sail away from troubles
Sail away from fears
Sail away to a land of care
A land accepting tears
Sail away to a place so far
So far away from cruelty
So far away, Oh so far
So far away
To live and be
