My first bicycle
In Crayola spring green
so proud and yet
vastly different
from the other kids
on their
brown and blue wheels.
They celebrate each other
in their sameness
while I struggle
to make peace
with my unusual hue.

If just a small piece
Of our soul
Can born again
In a new child
Blessed with more love
Then the broken path before
We are truly lucky
While even the broken
Gains a new understanding
Of love
And forgiveness
And we will move on
Again

Let your thoughts float away like clouds
Just you
Looking up from the ground
When you were just a child
It was magic
With dreams of riding the wind
Beyond the tree tops
And up, up, over your town
Hang on to that moment of freedom
Just you
Your dreams
And the clouds.

Little red satin pajamas
So silky & soft
Just like my Grandmother's love
They cover and comfort me
While I sleep
Dreaming of a magical world
Only in the mind of a hopeful child
Healing and caressing
the voices
Where pain has no rest.
