joy
lost
the line
of development and decency
I will wake you up
just when you get to sleep
good and proper
to tell you a bedtime story
to remind you joy is everywhere
there’s a bit of scandal
among the bohemian wildflowers
whispers concerning my impending number
advanced imperfections looming ahead
speaking of cool, calm and collected
I laugh with delicious delight
at wondrous traditions
such as chocolate cake
and making wishes
I love life with all its messy, gory glory
Love is our name.
We are the soul of the soul of the world around us
Yet let none of us believe we have power to change another
only the responsibility to inspire each other
to be our very best selves
to recognize beauty as beauty
Share your favorite toast with me:
to friends and foes
and each one I’ll never know –
I honor your courage to live out loud
may we all find ourselves more than we ever expected
hear! hear!
❤️
