Jumpin the Train

that was the beginning
that cool fall afternoon
I tried so hard not to care
to look like I wasn't into you
they made it a point
to get us both together
I just lean back and laugh
they had it all put together
if only life was that simple
I'd be jumping on that train
I'd leave the past behind
there'd be no guessing games
but alas it's not that easy
to find someone to love
it ends up taking a lifetime
which is just enough
for me to give away
all the love I've held back
for only then will I become
more than what I lack.

Fly

underneath it all
Im nothing but a skeleton
I try to look fierce
but in reality I'm only gelatin
I want to be tough
like I'm the only one I need
but I know I gotta admit
you are more to me
than what I aim to be
and all the fronts I try to play
for you uncover my ugliness
and never run away
you are more to me
than all the messes I've acquired
you pull me up to stand with you
even when I'm just too tired
you look me in the eye
and I cannot look away
giving me air to breath again
washing my tears away
not a thing in this world
can keep me from your side
for only when I feel your breath
my wings can spread to fly.

You are God

be not silent
when rain comes down
be not deaf
when I cry out loud
be not distant
when I need you close
be not dead
when I need you most
be not angry
when there's a need
be not troubled
when love is far from me
be not sad
when troubles mound like sand
for You are God alone
and I am but man

before sneezing is banned

why is it

socially unacceptable

to pick one's nose?

you know we all do it

it is my happy repose

you say that is nasty?

totally gross?

there is a host

of more grossness

picking is not most

what about letting

your boogers

pile up for years?

then I think you'd reconsider

and hold back your sneers

who decides what is ok

he must be some guy

but I bet he picks is nose

just like you and I.
