♫What if it makes you sad at me
and what if it makes you laugh now but you cry as you fall asleep
And what if it takes your breath and you can't hardly breathe
And what if it makes the last sound be the very best sound
What if what I want makes you sad at me
And is it all my fault or can I fix it please
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
What if it makes you lose faith in me,
what if makes you question every moment you cannot see
And what if it makes you crash and you can't find the key
What if it makes you ask how you could let it all go
What if what I want makes you sad at me
And is it all my fault or can I fix it please
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
And if this be our last conversation
If this be the last time that we speak for awhile
Don't lose hope and don't let go
Cause you should know
If it makes you sad
If it makes you sad at me
Then it's all my fault and let me fix it please
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
What if what I want makes you sad at me
And if it's all my fault then let me fix it please
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
Cause you know that I'm always all for you.♫

"Be happy to me mommy".
he would say
and perhaps my displeasure
had been pointed solely in my own right
when he jogged left
and how could I
have been so insistent on my way
as if my path
the only one
but I couldn't have steered
so far wrong
could I?
I mean...
now he's not right, nor left
just south

Thank you for your recent comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI've visited both yours. A bit late tonight for much in the way of comment, but I like them both. Lots of talent here. Bravo!
Nice to "meet" you.
Unequivocately I Love and your words as well....I'm going back to listen!
ReplyDeleteJamie - Late night blogging. The best :) Thanks for sitting in on my last set. Last call at the bar.
ReplyDeleteLorraine - Thanks! I love this poem. Don't know why. Perhaps because I sat for ten solid minutes trying to figure out the last two lines. No one will really get it but me I suppose, but they wound up perfect!!! They embody the fact that I have no idea if I did it right? Mothering. I had a real sucky role model. And so while the ending sounds like I might have, it also says that I didn't, because my son is now down in Southern California, 8 hours away. I "know" it's not true, but sometimes I can't help but wonder if I drove him away, just like my mother drove me. She couldn't have done it as aptly if she'd have put me on a plane with a one way ticket across the world.
Just checking out your music... you ever listen to Augustana or Barcelona? Great bands.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Augustana. Never heard of Barcelona, unless you are talking about the Freddie Mercury song with the opera lady. I actually heard that while at the Olympics in Barcelona. It was playing across the huge patio and fountain. I remember thinking I had never heard anything so beautiful. I searched high and low for the CD while I was there. Finally found it. It is a song that brings back a flood of memories for me :)
ReplyDeleteI will check out the group Barcelona :)
