Dad

My entire life changed on the day that you died,I wanted to escape, go run, and just hide,But that night, I watched a gorgeous sun set,With sad, tired eyes and a face tear stained and wet.

Dessert Dream

I’m standing at the pearly gate,There’s a line, but I don’t mind the wait. I turn around, and try to sneak out,But notice the beauty, take a circuitous route. A lounge made of clouds fits just right,Bouncy and fluffy, made with air, so they’re light. We’ve been given the greatest breakroom,Plants and flowers, are allContinue reading “Dessert Dream”
