Patience
Like a willow
Stumped in the interest of time
I never asked
For one prayer to last
I am only a passerby
Young hope
Like a orphan
At the train with a ticket in hand
"Hey porter man,
Have you seen my home land?
It's a suitcase with my name on the tag."
Love
Like an ocean
Giving and taking away
Or this hate as deep
As the sky is wide
May slowly lead us astray
Don't sweep my tomb
While I'm still in the hospital room
I'm wasn't looking for treatment
Out of you
The lighthouse I've built
Is the image on this quilt
To keep us warm in the cold months
When nothing feels true
God help us through
Love
Like an ocean
Giving and taking away
And this hate as deep
As the sky is wide
Is only here for a day
Patience
Like a willow
In a swale I can see from my door
Cat tails and frogs
Where I buried my old dogs
And a willow standing there
