The Best Thing On Earth

the best thing on earth is when you breathe and the night, like a lollipop lures you, by bringing you sweet sleep, sometimes and other times taking it away, and when you're alone and taxes don't scare you anymore, and the rent no longer is waiting for you, the wife is threatening no one, children stopped screaming, we want, dad doesn't leave but he doesn't wake up either, the best thing is God, - God takes you in his arms like a man patched up with love and you close your eyes and dream how the best thing on earth is to breathe freely
