Poems from _Songbird_
Do you ever think of what the birds must feel
As they soar amidst the sun;
Or what the dainty butterflies sense
As they flutter their wings...
It took us years to build this trust
The cornerstone of our love;
Brick by brick we've gained the strength to rise over and above.
But...
We grew up in the south where family is center and love is everything,
The grass is always green
The people always warm
The food
Good.
...
Words are a knife to the heart,
Holding the power to end me completely.
Yet they are my guardian angel,
Lifting me up from the pit that...
You were like the color red
Bold and beautiful.
Your eyes shined like the moon in darkness,
Your face like windowpanes,
Your heart...
