Laugh with me
Help me grow old
Ease me with tales of your gold
Tell me the story of each piece of silver 
Their meaning each treasure to you

Laugh with me 
Help me embrace 
The glitter life’s splayed ‘cross my face
Tell me you’ll seek me, need me, keep me
As we walk in our soul’s shoes

 Invite me to listen
To all you believe
I’ll sit proper 
Hoping to hear, but knowing I won’t 
How what’s in your heart spilled out to the streets
We’ll toast to your voice and I’ll take my leave

Talk with me though
On all that you know
How you held the grey captive
Extending your hand -healed it 
I’ll ask you to speak slow, I’ll stay at your feet
My heart your tent of gold

Gold

I struggle to know
If, as a girl,
I always did just the right things

I shutter to think
When I grew up tall
That none of it mattered at all

I listen to learn
If time will whisper
I needn’t have any regrets

I wait and wonder
If the caring I shared
Imprinted my name on gold stone

is gold

I’ve prayed glitter
For your path 
A pattern-spray that looks
Like plans had for you 
Before you graced this place
The underneath that is
Paved with acorns and amber oak leaves
Covered with new fallen snow
