Believe

I jotted this down on the plane home from England today. It isn't about anyone in particular, it could apply to many different people I'm connected to.


Believe

I wish you could believe in yourself
Just to see you, as I see you
Nothing but dreams coming true
Wishing the very best for you

I wish you could see the glass half full
Or runneth over, like my love
On a spring day, wouldn't that be enough?

I wish you could just believe
You have a purpose, or something
You want so desperately to achieve

For you deserve the very best
After what you've been through
Nothing but the bluest skies & sunshine
Would be good enough for someone like you

I wish you could see the light
Throughout the long and lonely night
That I could reach out and touch your eyes
And bring back your sight, I wish I could

I wish you could just believe in yourself
As others do
Unlock the door and simply walk on through

Just believe.

Doing Laundry In Paddington (Poem)

Pound coins, Pound coins
Warm wash, or cold
Fabric conditioner
Fluff n fold

Paddington, Paddington
Outside our door
Smokey old chimneys
And busses galore

Sky grey, sky grey
Of rainbows you're made
Bring out the sunshine
To brighten our day

Our day, our day
Just wash it away
We'll come back tomorrow
In Paddington we'll stay

I Hate To Fly, And Now I Know Why (Poem)

Written on the plane....


I hate to fly, and now I know why
As we rumble through the clouds
And the baby starts to cry
Was it worth the extra miles?
At the gate we were all smiles
But now this plane smells like shit
There's not denying it, I hate to fly

I hate to fly, cause I feel cooped up
As we're rockin side to side
Like a broken coffee cup
Sleep is but a dream at 3:15
And now I gotta pee
But the guy next to me, won't let me be
Oh God, I hate to fly

I hate to fly, and now I know why
Didn't they used to call it the friendly skies?
We're doomed to suffer and sweat
Why is there no air conditioning on this jet?
But why ask why? When you know..
I hate to fly...

I hate to fly, and now I know why
The industry's bankrupt on a pack of lies
But we'll be back just like the year before
To cash in more airmiles
For another distant shore
