Joe

 You say

that it's just your way

on that road you call

Somewhere

I try but I don't understand

cause my wings won't fly that way

So fly, fly away

Before you go again

tell me everything

cause I'm just that way

You see I'm learning

by your experiences

how to live today

So fly, fly away

I need you, but I can see through your eyes

I need you, but I'll keep you in my mind

So fly, fly away

Fly

Fly away

Joni James May 1997

(written just a few days before Joe passed)

Safety

Oh, but I have been given

Wings!

Yet, I don't know how to use them

Somehow knowing deep inside

My push must come

from within

What is this unknown need

Stifling me to

my Perch?

Perhaps a breeze

will lend me her lift

And soon

I will be

On my

way

Joni James 2003
