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
