"be" by nancy davis

Be happy
he says

even though

it is
the way it is

be happy
about something

even though

i can not
be what you want.

And
even though
that is all

i want

to be

is happy

i can not.

come back

I have been told 

That there is no going

Back home again

I felt home once

In the arms of a man

A lifetime that I missed

How many we are

These people

That can't go home

There is no home

Outside of love

In this place we don't belong 

early

all the little
signs of spring
early showing
daffodils
and soon
the mowing

now

Notice me

no tattoos 

not young

not all lines from laughter

Notice me

once a small town girl

once i dreamed of love

you made me smile

Notice me 

my hair 

the curve of my cheek

can you remember

Notice

that you stole my heart

the only one i had

you are the one 

they say

do not
stay
in bed
all
day

it would
be
a shame
to the
family
name

there is no room
for fools like you
in this place
where dreams
come true

just keep
on smiling
and act
real nice
don't make me
have to
tell you twice

the bills are high
the rent is due
and they
say
i shouldn't
talk to you

heart to heart

a good old fashioned
heart to heart
i wonder
how old
it would seem
to wear one
on my sleeve
or close to my ear
on the phone
a voice
telling me
from theirs
to mine
all shaped
and rounded
coming to
the
point

coming together

in 

the body 

of 

the Savior

we are
all
one

in the same boat
kind of thing

and

every single one of us
is one with Him

Spiritually
speaking




i wonder
if
our spirits
are linked to one another
in Him

i don't know
