Did you hear something
When you were not listening
Were doors opening
Innocent conversations
Leading to light bulb moments

The older she got
OPINIONS meant less and less
She turned a deaf ear
Except to those who knew that
MONEY talks and bullshit walks

Took some time to laugh
Got my belly aching good
And the tears flowing
Was binge watching videos
Of the great Robin Williams

Replacing the grass
Because the puppy grew up
Destroying the yard
It wasn’t her fault really
She just wanted to have fun

A sense of freedom
We all say we’re seeking this
Until we’re set free
That’s when the panic sets in
It’s as though we don’t belong

Waltz in the moonlight
Create ripples on the lake
Wave to flying birds
Smile as clouds are rolling by
Thank the flowers for their scent

The sun gives to you
Without asking anything
It simply exists
It is you who will wonder
What the sun wants in return
