glad for every moment

September 24, 2022

I'm sad we broke each other's hearts
Didn't want to leave you blue
I'm sad we'll always be apart
I hate the stupid things I do

I'm glad for every moment
I got to spend with you
Your sweet and blessèd soul
Your heart was always true

A snowflake and a rainbow
A sunset and a flower
They fade and fall from view
But they never lose their power

I'm glad for every moment
I got to spend with you
Your sweet and blessèd soul
Your heart was always true

in a fog
in a flutter
inattentive
in love

in debt
in danger
insolvent 
in love

in the dumps
in a pickle
injured
in love

in the groove
in the saddle
invincible
in love

My Best Thing Is Being With You

September 5, 2022

I can dunk a basketball 
With my left ear
I can sing a sonnet 
While I'm drinking a beer

I'm pretty excellent at everything I do
And my best thing is being with you

I can program a computer 
While washing my car
I figure out physics 
Just sitting in a bar

I'm pretty excellent at everything I do
And my best thing is being with you

I can skip a stone 
Forty-seven times
All the ladies swoon
When I make up my rhymes

I'm pretty excellent at everything I do
And my best thing is being with you

I made a rocket ship
And took it to the moon
I fought off a grizzly
With a fork and spoon

I'm pretty excellent at everything I do
And my best thing is being with you
