So Here Is Why

So Here Is why From: Cuba I help you lock things down tight - order comes from your bones Grabbing my hand, you look and say “ yep “ 98 years I look at yours “maybe 99 for you” might you miss me when my storm comes? The door is open to the love birds cage where could they be? Off to start their adventure, I say a predictable, great adventure I am happy, you are worried #4 Strawberry Mango Lots of Mango #5 Cuba Libre My other will have the Cuba Libre, Excellent choice for the lady Sipping away you say… we took the same lashings in our youth You turned inwards I took the first flight to Cuba I’m so glad you did That’s why I never asked you what your CA 125 # is or was Numbers don’t matter to me, you do I won’t embarrass you worry you make you feel other (that is a sin) our life, any life is happening now that’s all. We curl together to ride out another Havana storm And what of the love birds? They always return Let them live free in Cuba now We all must live free while we can
