Keep me close
Keep me quiet
Silent sounds
Roar
Without saying
Anything profound.
Joyous words
Cannot speak
Heartache thumps
Echoing thoughts
Not uttered
Not to keep.
Surround me now
With love and joy
Embrace
My head, my heart
Let me go
To those that love.
Stay in touch
With loving souls
Sleeping in a bed
So soft
Never hearing another
Horrid thought.

Always asking why
Not knowing
Why I ask
Or just what
The reason is.
Looking round
I see
So much to be
Thankful for
For me.
Can’t understand
Why
Why I’m always
Wondering
Asking why.

Not
Knowing is nothing
Not
Hearing is something
Not
Feeling is everything.

Tenderness is such a wondrous thing
It brings us close and it brings us things
Best of all it brings us love.
Tenderness is a wondrous thing.

Kindness, tenderness
All of the day
Hold it close
Don’t let it slip away.
Your heart will thank you
Your soul will say
Kindness, tenderness
All of the day
Hold it close
Don’t let it slip away.

When I know
What to do
My heart
Will lead
My soul
Will show
My eyes
My ears
My hands
My feet.
This I know

I know the answered answer
I know why
I know how the question answered
I just don’t know
The answers why.

You gave me love
I gave back to thee
Love
Love unconditionally.

In the near future and the past
Everything was aghast.
Not so liked but tolerated
Sad to say, that was my past.
I am aghast I let it past
Say no more and move along
My life is worth more
Than a sad, sad song.
See you there
In that happy place
Full of joy, full of grace.
You will bow and I will chase
All the butterflies that giggle
And face the troubles
I’m trying to erase.
Maybe now it does not exist
Because I showed them
I will resist.
Be ye happy.
Be ye pleased because together
We brought them to their knees.
Here, in the near future
And most likely in the past
With absolute ease.
