I'M Happy For You

When you’ve watched your calendar all year round And heart marked the14th red and profound But you can’t celebrate love that hasn’t been found Just bow your head 90 degrees to the ground The suffering in silence might surface a pain That maybe you thought was hidden away You’re forced to survive this momentous day Go 90 and pray for the cover of rain In times like these it often may seem That spirits left broken should be redeemed A test that pushes the eyes to extremes If they well up, just look up 90 degrees If the knees to the ground might buckle or sway Or the eyes to the heavens couldn’t portray The envy preventing the meeting halfway 90 degrees could help you convey The green that only your eyes could betray
