Birthday Wishes...1.28.2011

I don’t know what the future holds
can’t clearly recall the past,
without adding and subtracting this or that

But, I do know where I am standing today
and from this angle when the light is right
you remind me of a painting I once inhaled at the Met…

Visions of happily ever after dance in fields of wild flowers,
the peaceful scent of lavender floating in the air
and I believed you were the one forever and ever
hand in hand reminiscing on the front porch as the day grows old
a piece of anticipated heaven here on earth

Another life story that did unfold an ending never written

So while the day fades into night and
the music begins to roll
like the flip side of gentle rocking
peaceful reverie leading the way...
there is a clear path paved with birthday wishes
and memories of another time,

Quietly taking a step into new beginnings,
always keeping you in this heart of mine ~

Home is where the heart is...happy birthday love ~

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's hard earned pay,
You and me Sunday driving,
Not arriving on our way back home.

We're on our way home,
We're on our way home,
We're going home.

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall.
You and me burning matches,
Lifting latches on our way back home.

We're on our way home,
We're on our way home,
We're going home.

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun.
You and me chasing paper,
Getting nowhere on our way back home.

We're on our way home,
We're on our way home,
We're on our way home.

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead]

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun.
You and me chasing paper,
Getting nowhere on our way back home

We're on our way home,
We're on our way home,
We're on our way home
