In That Place
She smiles for me each time I wake,
though whom she is, is status quo.
I pause and think, for goodness sake.
I love you mom, her voice will shake.
How do you feel, her eyes aglow.
She smiles for me each time I wake.
Then from the haze I slowly break.
Why that is Carolyn, although,
I pause and think, for goodness sake.
My world is dark more vague opaque.
I watch for that nice face I know.
She smiles for me each time I wake.
My world is pain and much heartache.
I don’t weigh options to and fro.
I pause and think, for goodness sake.
My choices are much fun to make,
I just say yes or hesitate,
She smiles for me each time I wake.
I pause and think, for goodness sake.
