Freedom

The sun is up,
I wish I’m out

Everybody’s running,
Everybody’s dancing

She’s eating hotdog in a bun,
He’s drinking juice in a can

The kids are eating ice cream,
While the babies are screaming

Mrs. Sun, please don’t go down, 
Please wait till I’m done 

So I can also play,
With you and have some fun

The Joy of Running

I woke up before my snooze,
I got up and tied my shoes
To sleep or to get loose,
The latter is what I choose

Vibrato

Today, tomorrow and forever,
A smile printed on my face

With your love I am awake,
With your embrace I am safe,
With your hand I am whole

You are my light,
You are my guide,
You are the music of my life

Notes in my mind,
Verses in my heart

I sing and I play with all my soul,
From morning till dawn
I praise Your Name through my song

Granny Marjorie

Granny Marjorie,
Can be sometimes cranky

Granny Marjorie,
Loves to smoke her cigars and drink coffee

Granny Marjorie,
Has a friend named “TV”

Granny Marjorie,
Asks for pastry puffs when she’s hungry

Granny Marjorie,
Heard me play with Rosy

Granny Marjorie,
Remembered good memories with Monty

Granny Marjorie,
Seemed so happy 

Granny Marjorie,
Smiled and looked at me, “Don’t grow old my young lady.”


(Granny Marjorie is 90+ years old and as dementia.)

Camouflage

The world keeps on changing,
and everytime I'm with you
I keep changing too,
the same colors as you do

Until when can I let this be,
and just be me
Please let me be me,
I want to be free

Invisible Me

Hide...
So no one can see me
Hide...
So no one can hear me
Hide...
So one can talk to me

Im tired of waiting
But the truth is
Im crazy and falling
But you don't see me
nor hear me
Yet, Im here
waiting for you to atleast notice me
