I am not necessarily endorsing the book, since I've never read it.

No Mail Today

car accident on the way home

glad i missed that one

mother crossing the street
making sure her children are safe
a dead dog lies on the side of the road

hmm i wonder if that's the one

on the missing dog posters?

there's the guy that runs

every night after work

what is he running from anyway?

hope i miss the red light this time

then i won't have to look

in that homeless man's face again

probably spend the money on beer anyway

if i was thoughtful i could of at least brought a sandwich

oh boy, my car is filthy

but it's too late to go to the car wash

maybe i could pay the homeless man to wash it

nah too much trouble

i'll just go home, get the mail

like i always do

wait, it's a holiday

which one is it? oh yeah

Veteran's Day

Written in remembrance (a little late) of the freedom we have been given to live lives that allow us to think of mundane things while others live or have lived days/years wondering if they had another minute to live.

I don't know how you feel ... but I feel sunshine

How can I ever know

How can I ever see

the depths

the love

haunting me

like the sunshine

warming my face

I smile at your presence

and I never want to

leave this place

but your warmth

is not for me

the sun is for the world

your beauty

is for all to see

CHORUS:

but I don't know

what it feels like

to be you

to be you

maybe someday

I could be like

the moon

reflecting your sunshine

showing your grace

maybe I'm in love

with your pain

that makes me

feel

a thousand sad days

forgiven

maybe it's that smile

that lights the stars

that gives twinkle

to the eyes

of the blind

CHORUS:

but I don't know

what it feels like

to be you

to be you
