Graduate

Students ready, teachers here

Suddenly we both appear

Patience please, for both our sake

I am trying to caretake

She asks me to walk by faith

I her to communicate

Lending hand and listening ear

I can hear her loud and clear 

She sees me through facing fear

I'd abandoned my career

Thrive inside a twist of fate

Speak despite delay in rate

Love is all you need and take

Now we get to graduate

Traveling Light

I wonder what his heart looks like

A cypress tree and starry night

Like grenadine with Diet Sprite

The streamers on a child's bike

Cathedral bells and falling rice

Or ocean swells 'neath diamond kites

Like tinsel strands and traveling light?

He'll show me once he knows I'm right

The Mouse

With candy cane handcuffs, there needn't be keys 

Mistreat me this Christmas, I chew through and leave

My quips are my missiles and kisses deadly

Such insulin shock, you could drop and decease

Curled up with the kittens in mistletoe leaves

One eye on my business and cheese as I sleep

I've predators present at every degree

And ready or not, it's your thoughts I can read

So know this - I'm focused, and I will succeed 

The mouse in my house always stirring is me
