Rushes past

Years, Hours, Moments, Fell asleep briefly, Life passes, Your a child failing at races, Your dad’s disappointed, All you recall is the punishment, Grade school seems a brief instance, Imagination saved some of us, Even at eight last one picked stings, Some teaches use you like an experiment in square dancing Val Heike tallest forth

Love is crazy

Missing isn’t subject to others opinion, Love isn’t a topic I allow others comment, They do, Who we love matters deep inside, Love is like an absess, Toxic that etches itself into our spirit, Its a calm thing, Its an honest thing, Not subject to the government yet it seems they tax everything, Love isn’t
