It's about how many cars I didn't hit
How many tickets I didn't get

The pale blue sky
Sweet things that make me cry

Feeling great
Not filled with hate

My man
And all of our plans

Our little paradise in the woods
Elgin Local Goods

Precious amazing wonderful things
He continuously brings

Beautiful grand babies
Even the ifs why's and maybes

Money in the mail
Makes the end of the day just swell

Music that moves my soul
From world beat to rock and roll

go organic non-GMO homemade
No need for tirade

The many many choices
To glean from all the voices

The family and the kin
Driving me crazy now and again

The thousands of miles
Remembering to smile

Collecting friends
Some fade some remain to the end

Noticing the kindness of a stranger
That defuses the anger

Cherishing a glass of fine wine
Can take me back to a time

Of partying out back
And running with a pack

When the wine was not so fine
But having a hell of a time

Desire to celebrate
Not castigate

Hoping for patience with the masses
Seeing with more than my glasses

Accepting me
Just as I be
