Heart

Who Cares Where It Came From?

KABAM!
It came from out
of nowhere.
Faster than sound,

quicker than light,
bigger than anything;
it’s completely nuts,
but you’re my everything.

There are things you
can’t plan, or understand.
But it all makes sense,
I can’t fall ever again.

With you here,
my life will go bananas.
But this way?
I wouldn’t have it any other.

You

Every now and then
the world will go bananas.
Every now and then
the people will go crazy.
It’s not easy to be,
but it’s harder to not.
Look up and yell?
Look down and scream?
Neither’s wrong
and both aren’t right.
So what’s correct?
Nobody knows.
I make my friends,
scared witless that
they’ll forget me.
I try to conform,
to be normal
in a loopy world.
In the end,
I’ll just lose me.
So stick it to the norm,
I’ll look for what’s best.
I know what’s best for me,
and it’s you. I’ll be
told I’m wrong;
I’m used to it.
I don’t care what I’m told,
as long as you’re there.

Goodbye For Now, Granny Jo

An angel’s tears fall at the pulpit,
he can not help but weep.
We’re all so happy that the pain is gone,
but this loss has cut us deep.
We want to spend more hours with you
in the yesteryears gone by,
but for now our chances have all gone.
We can not help but cry.
You always had a way
of giving us your gift.
As you’ve gone, you’ve given us
an even greater lift.
Thank you for your everything
and for bringing us together.
Thank you for being you;
we will love you for forever.

We love you Granny Jo.

Searching For Light

Many times I’ve cried for comfort,
yet received no one in return.
So I stumbled into a shadow world,
one they say is of the devil.
I don’t know though. I know
that the devil watches, waiting
to dance with lust in the moonlight.
But maybe, maybe…

I don’t know, I’m not sure.
It’s the only place where solace is sure,
but I’m told it’s evil; the world
they say is of the devil.
What if someone were there?
Would I be alright? I think so,
but I’m still waiting. While
no one is there for me, it is.

I’ll look up and call; I’ll beg
for an answer. Maybe someone
will answer my plea, while I’m stuck in the world
they say is of the devil.
There is time left, I can be strong.
Maybe my strength comes, not
from out there, but from within.
I’ll wait, I’ll wait.

My One

I don’t have the best touch,
or the greatest smile.
I’m not the best with words
and I can’t run a mile.
I can’t always be there
at the times you need me,
and I can’t wrap my arms
around your beautiful body.
But listen, my dear,
just listen close,
because when you need me,
I’ll play my strings.
When you need me there,
when you’re falling,
just reach out, listen
for my guitar to sing.
