Can we fail

At this whole

Experiment

Of life

Can we give up

In the face of

Unrelenting strife

No

Not a chance

We keep pushing

We fight

And we will advance

A famous skirt

I can recall

From our trips to

Chicago

Where you would ask

Directions

And I can’t remember

What I said

Sparkling drinks

Have me happy

For just a moment

Such a simple pleasure

But we have to remember

That is what makes life

Sweet

Shiny dinosaurs

In these foreign times

I can’t even make up

My mind

What I am seeing

What impressions are made

Each and every day

It begins to look

More and more

Surreal

A shiny dinosaur

Kind of deal

A yellow thaw

Will come

From this winter

Blunder

Upon us

When

I can’t tell

But it can’t come soon

Enough

The ladybugs

Seem so light

And hopeful

I need to see one soon

My own eyes

Can be replenished

When I see the lady bug

Late night

Worries

Do me no good

Helping my own little

Hope of being

Understood

For many things

I do not understand

As I see through the eyes

Of being a man

Pickle days

Today

Yesterday

All the way

From one to another

The days of simplicity

Seem so much further away

Than close to home

Learning to hold up

Now

On our own

I always liked that orange skirt

The one you wore when

We went out

The memories we have

Beautifully painted looks

Of you
