On rainy days I keep my dreams
tucked safe beneath my bed.
They’re in a bag with worn out seams
and burlap sack and thread.
For one day soon the sun will shine,
And when its rays peek through,
That little burlap bag of mine
will come out shining too
On rainy days I keep my dreams
tucked safe beneath my bed.
They’re in a bag with worn out seams
and burlap sack and thread.
For one day soon the sun will shine,
And when its rays peek through,
That little burlap bag of mine
will come out shining too
The world is a scary place,
I’m just not ready yet.
So hold me close in warm embrace,
to sing a sweet duet.
I’ll follow your fast rhythm, dear,
And if you follow mine,
We’ll sing for only us to hear,
A harmony divine.
But if the notes we sing together,
Are better sung apart,
We can go our separate ways,
And I’ll take back my heart.
A pirouette on pointed toeses
My mom and I would play a game
To catch petals on our noses
We’d spin and twirl and shout our names
A pirouette on pointed toeses
The petals were soft lavender
That caught the light so fairly
They’d float onwards, cavalier,
And lift our spirits merrily
The petals would slip and slide
Down slanted chins and faces
Stumbling around, we’d collide
And end in warm embraces.
