Here’s my smile, it can’t be “quiet,” for I feel Sunny
We’re alive, and in this moment, that is thrilling
This invitation I extend, yet I’m confounded
How most times, it goes unnoticed…unaccepted
But this fair soldier, marches on, undeterred
Undiscouraged, lacking any short-term mem’ry
If you see me, carry on, or you may join me
Either way, I cannot care…there is this mission
not alright to need
neither ought we pause to breathe
nor dawdle
to this I can’t concede
grasp for ev’ry next brass ring
should we choose to hold out hope
hope for one more decimal place
such mandate was tiring
trade our souls for bragging rights
nevermind the sunrise
harbor disdain in our eyes
instead I chose against the Night
I am the godsend
Who flew them to you
You won’t think to thank me
What learning you’ll do
We shan’t leave this life
‘Til this truth finds the mind:
Fairytale thinking,
That must stay behind
Maybe we needed That Wind
That Spirit, changing us from within
Raging ‘gainst our window’s panes
Rattling our beliefs about what’s right
When morning came
Sand was shook and rock now stands
How much longer would the night have been
Praise God for That Wind
Angel, walk from Heav’n
Then, with smile and a kind word
Bring me good coffee
Inspiration Crefit: Dedicated to my school principal and my students — thank you for all the @Starbucks gift cards!
I’ve prayed your errs away
You have new legs
Courage owns that heart
Your mouth’s filled with all the words you needed to say
I’ve petitioned for our yesteryears
Our carefree years
Before choices went awry
Endless chances to try and try
I’m becoming music
You’ll find your song
What eternity wanted
We hummed along
And I drove to the ocean
And laughed alot
Spoke of muscle cars with motor heads
Saw The Milky Way
And it was the first time
And the only time
Food tasted perfectó
Sand made sense
And although I ruined the piñas
And strayed too far from shore
Living has felt sweeter
Smiling has saved me
Dedication: To my family, to all flowers, and to best friends — whether I ever see them again.
I wanted the mystery
I’m not the only one
It’s still there, waiting
And it never runs
Nor tries to hide
So I spy
Sometimes unintentionally
With my little hoping eye
And see
Intrigue smile at me — what glee!
Thankful for such prophecy
This jubilant rush
Calls with none notice
And we run…and we see
Magnificat unlocked

Show me what to draw with my crayons, oh Lord!
Lead the dance of my heart and feet!
If, people would see you in all my art
Then, my walk on Earth is complete
