Hello again laughter
(November 9. 1980)
Sometimes
We spend so much time crying
We don’t recognize laughter.
You made me laugh
Long before I would admit.
I was so busy being miserable
I almost missed your smile.
Thank god I looked
In time to see
Our laughter.
Simply
(March 26, 1980)
He is but a man
And I, a woman.
We both must live
And one day die
But during the journey in between
If we can simply love
Then we have made a miracle
Equal to any gods.
Gently
(March 27, 1980)
With hands so gentle
He caresses me,
His touch is like the softness
Of early morning dew
On my parched and weary body.
It’s hard to believe
A man could possess such gentleness.
I have been loved before
But never gently.
Goodbye
(December 1984)
We’ve said goodbye before
But you never really leave
For you’ve become a part of me
A part of what I am
And all that I might be
A part created
From the best of love
And friendship
Strengthened
Not only by joy
But sorrow
And held close
With a thousand memories
A part
Never to be forfeited
To a mere word
Goodbye.
