PanOstic

When I kiss your little nose Or pinch your little cherub cheeks Or tickle all your tiny toes It makes me smile for days - or weeks!  Your angel giggle is sublime And even all your angry wails Are each in their own way divine  And cuteness overall prevails My tiny tots, your little hands Will always have a place in mine  I’ll help you navigate these lands  And we will reminisce, in time  Once chubbiness has left your cheeks And baby babbling finds it’s end I’ll still be smiling on for weeks When I’m hugging my grown-up friend -Journey

Broken hearted Lonely too Laying restless  Think of you  Wishing sleep Would stop hiding For in dreams  Peace is abiding  Except, of course For when it’s worse  At that point Sleep is a curse What can I do? I can’t defend By wishing that The pain would end Just embrace it Feel the pain  Let the teardrops Fall like rain Feel the heartbreak  Turn it ‘round In acceptance  Love is found -Journey

I feel it, you know It crinches and cracks Like shardlets of glass underfoot I see it, you know It’s darker than black Like the sun has been covered in soot I hear it, you know That deep silent sigh Which echoes up under the wind I know that it’s there, The unspoken goodbye That comes before hearts do rescind Wherever you go, Whatever you choose I hope you know I’m coming too For whether you’re here Or else miles on the loose You’ll carry my heart still with you -Journey
