Big,brown eyes..

There are some things that you've seen,
There are some things that you know.
But, what will stay with you for the long haul,
I sincerely don't know..

I see you look all around,
Wondering what the hell is going on.
Why is there a tube down your throat,
Where has your special lady gone..

Do you want to cry, little boy,
Do you want me to call out for her.
Is there something you want to say,
I wish I knew, so I could tell her..

Smile at me if you can,
Or not, if you please.
Just don't look at me with those big,brown eyes,
Please..


'Cos I know that you've fought,
The hardest battles of life too soon.
I hope that life is easy for you,
But, to hope that I am probably a fool..

There will be a scar on your heart,
And a gash on your throat.
And people may be mean,
Enough to pull your leg or rock your boat..


But you are a rock star
That I know.
'Cos you clung on,
Where so many won't..

And some day when the sun is brighter,
I hope you come back to see a wrinkled,old me.
And maybe smile at me with those big, brown eyes,
Please..


To- A little boy in my ward. Get well soon, honey. We love you!

Let me be..

I feel a different person everyday,
Right there, inside of me..
She looks like me and speaks like me,
But she is wild and new and carefree..
She is everything that I can,
And everything I wanna be..
Am I becoming her,
Or should I just let me be..

Every day she wakes up,
And wants to make it on her own..
Live life on her own terms,
Do everything she feels in her bones..
She wants to fly off into the sunset,
And build castles in the air..
Paint beauty into the world around,
Lots of happiness to share..

Can't you see this person..
This person I am,
The one I want to be.
I am your little girl..
And will be so forever,
But it is time you set me free.

I am not you,
I don't want to be you..
Why can't you just let me be..
Let me be my own person,
Love me
 And let me be..
