DANCE
What does happiness mean
It seems like such a foreign idea
Is happiness about smiles and laughter
Or is it about love ever after
I seek to know
How to bring happiness into my life
How to live a life worth living
One where I am forgiving
And have no misgiving
​
I want to be free
Free from anger and worry
A life where I embrace the here and now
Where I have nothing left to disavow
​
I want to dance and sing
Live for today
Dream of tomorrow
Let go of all my sorrow
MY FAVORITE PLACE
Everyone needs a favorite place on earth
One where you can close your eyes
And go
Whenever you are low
Mine is on a hill
With velvety green grass
The sounds of laughter
Where I don’t have to be an actor
There are girls of all ages
Behaving like sisters
Making friends that last forever
Just being clever
It is in the mountains
And there is a lake below
I sit and dream of time
When my heart was filled with friends
I never wanted it to end
Camp Akiba was my summer home
It is a place I could roam
From one spot to another
Feeling love and hope
Sitting on that mountain slope
I close my eyes
And I am there
Free to be me
A person who is free
THE FAMILY YOU CHOOSE
I have a second family
The one that I collected along the way
People who came into my life
And I never want them to go away
I have had some since I was little
Some I picked up in college
Other came into my life through work
They each fill me with knowledge
Knowledge of self
Knowledge of things
Knowledge of life
Each without any strings
I love the family that I have chosen
To make me full
To make me whole
Who take no bull
