“Cycles (You Can Change Them)”
written on 6/21/09

there are people with phd’s
that would tell me i’m crazy
they have theories to calculate everything
but they’ll never quantify your effect on my heart

earth has its cycles and seasons
but there is nothing about you that’s routine
all their laws and rules can’t explain
the intricate ways that you move me

day after day used to be the same thing
trapped inside a tidal wave always pulling me into the lonely sea
until your energy washed over me

i never had much faith in science
’cause it never focused enough on the heart
they can’t diagram or map out
how you make my life exponentially better

the seismograph is moving
to every beat of your heart
it’s an earthquake of compassion
that shakes me to my core

“Raindrops in Ireland”
written on 5/20/09

she smiles at the rainbow
as she dances in the rain
’cause it’s always a sun shower
since she shines brighter than the stars

even if it’s pouring
there’s only sunshine over me
i have never felt a soothing breeze
quite like your personality

she’s surrounded by four leaf clovers
across the ocean waters
but regardless of the distance
i still feel her presence warming me

i smile when there’s lightning
as i feel your energy
and whenever i hear thunder
i know you’re saying hi to me

you’re lying in the green grass
watching blue skies as i sleep
for now i have my dreams
but soon we’ll be together
watching the same sunset

“Footprints in the Sand”

it’s hard during times like these to keep my head up
there’s empty chairs at the dinner table
making this house not as warm as it used to be
but i can’t give up
this is my opportunity
to cherish the greatest family

to my mother and father who poured my foundation
my pillars of strength who fed my veins with undying love and support
i thank you for making me me

to my brother, my best friend
who always kept my endorphins alive
younger in age but not much else
a bond that will never be broken

family meals and adoring fans
sincere advice and loving hands
a model for how things should be

from playing with toys on the bedroom floor
to lectures on how to behave
bending over backwards for me whenever i was ill
and being kissed and tucked in every night
i couldn’t ask for anything more

unlike footprints in the sand there isn’t a flood that can
wash these great memories from me
