Express Yourself

Be who you are and say how you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Again

Again

Don’t quite know
Where the wind will blow
If my words will flow
And do you justice
All I know
You’re on
Your way
Again

Don’t quite understand
Where I’m gonna land
‘cause I miss you
Yesterday,
Last week--
Right now

How it burns
Deep in my soul
Memories so fresh
I can feel ‘em
You and I
CBE
Tracey
Aida
My Elizabeth
And the crew
Working
Laughing
Step by step
Knowing
It will be alright
Everything always
 seems
To fall into place

You are
Extraordinarily wonderful
Distributed in your practice
Strength under fire
Eloquence
Peachy

Thinking back
Baylor Clinic
Driving
Sitting, watching, waiting
Contemplating my mortality
Never alone
Who does that?
Not many…
Maybe just you

Your belief in me
Never waivers
Priceless
Inspiration
Those long talks
Warm tea
You completely
Utterly
Get me
Never let me settle
Nudged me along

The silly jokes
Caught you in a few
Serious
Seam-busting laughter
About skinned cats
Pointed shoes
Candy apple red
So Cathie
So human
Caring deeply
Words, words, words
Like butter

Yeah, I know
It’s time you go
Saying goodbye
Excruciatingly hard
But you gotta know
I’ll be
Texting
Calling
Either/or
Posiblemente
Knocking
At your door
Otra vez

You and I
Just peachy
So proud
After all these years
To call you
friend
My friend
Once, once
AGAIN

  2. Thanks Angelique! She is a very special person. I worked hard on this one. Just to think when I started, I wasn't sure where it was going to go! That's the thing about writing, you never know where it will take you. I just have to trust the process. May the process be with you!
