These Words (Should Become A Song)

 Can I have a drink with you?

Can I share myself with you?

Can I keep you a while longer?
Will you stay here, with me?

You give a lil' less
And I'll give a lil' more

In due time,
You will see   -
    that everything all leads
to This Moment we breathe

To Only Those Deserving

Making peace with my hatred

Searching for a place to rest

I smile now because I learned what 

                                                       is sacred

and have survived the endurance test

And now, you see me laughing,

     And then

 You'll see me cry

But only I can decide

If I LIVE Once - or everyday

Or if it's only once that I'll die

Carry my own weight in one hand

The other, hold my family

On my back, 

The Lead Monkey hangs

And rings the bell of harmony
