I Don’t Know How to Stop…
I don’t know how to stop
Feeling what I feel for you
I don’t know how to stop
Letting my love for you shine through
I don’t know how to stop
Wanting to share my thoughts
I don’t know how to stop
Seems wanting is all I’ve got
I don’t know how to stop
Thinking of you with a smile
I don’t know how to stop
Though I admit I’ve been trying now for a while
I don’t know how to stop
Caring for you the way I do
I don’t know how to stop
Dreaming a dream that never will come true
I don’t know how to stop
Crying these tears that I cry
I don’t know how to stop them
So, I’m not even going to try
I don’t know how to stop
Letting my soul love you
I don’t know how to stop
And I’m at a loss for what to do

Painfully Peaceful…
Painfully peaceful
That’s how I’m feeling
Right now in this moment with you
Painfully peaceful
That’s how I’m feeling
Feeling painfully peaceful will have to do
Painfully peaceful
Says so much
While saying very little
Painfully peaceful
Expresses my wellbeing
Like a painfully peaceful little riddle
Painfully peaceful
Day in and day out
It’s what I’ve come to be
Painfully peaceful
As my energy expands
From the inside to the outside of me
Painfully peaceful
A daring quest
To peacefully accept the pain that comes my way
Painfully peaceful
As I embark on my journey
I’m becoming more peaceful every day

Sweet, Big Mamma…
Such a sweet, big mamma
You turned out to be
Once just a floppy eared puppy
I’ve watched you grow old next to me
My sweet, big mamma
With deep loud solid bay
You’ll always be my girl
I love to watch you run and play
You’re a sweet, big mamma
With a very big love of food
Dinner time always has you drooling
I’ve never seen you in a grumpy mood
Such a sweet, big mamma
I love the way you snore
And I’m always filled with joy
When you meet me at the door
My sweet, big mamma
Such a blessing you have been
If life came with “do over’s”
I’d do life over with you again, and again
I love you my sweet, big mamma
Your sweet, old beautiful face
I love the soul within you
And that we’ve been able to share a space

I’ll Ask Siri…
As I woke up just this morning
I was feeling a bit distraught
Feeling somewhat overwhelmed
Filled with unforgiving thought
I jumped out of my bed
As I heard the dog begin to vomit
Tried to wrestle him out the door
While at the same time, not slip upon it
Being sick myself
This wasn’t going very well
Yet somehow we managed to get it done
And we both lived to tell the tale
That’s when it occurred to me
Perhaps I needed an assistant
For those harried times when I struggle
To have someone to help me with it
That’s when I remembered Siri
She’s right here in my phone
I needed just to mention her name
And never again would I be alone
Eager to give it a try
I started with something easy
I asked what I should do
If my coughing were getting wheezy
She gave me lots of options
There was plenty to help me out
But the more I thought about it
The more I had my doubts
I admit I was a bit surprised
When told to put a key in my wallet
After asked if she could start my car
I believe she just called me on it!
I chose to give it one more try
Just to see what she could do
So I asked her for a bedtime story
And sure enough, Siri came through
She told me about our solar system
How each of the planets are aligned
If I need help in the future
I think I’ll keep Siri in mind

What Difference…
What difference
Will I have made
At the end of my journey
The way that I’ve paved
What difference
Will there be
In those I have met
Or in the soul which lived in me
What difference
Will some tiny creatures know
Who from ancestral rescues
Will have been able to grow
What difference
Has my existence served
Have I lived with intention
Paid the consequences I deserved
What difference
Are these thoughts of rhyme
Will anyone know them
Once my life’s run out of time
What difference
Has come from my deeds
Have they inspired others
Have I planted positive seeds
