another day, another valentine

thing is
love is just as real as rocks


or socks or a fox or a box


people know how to deal with rockses and sockses and foxes and boxes


love, not so much


if we could only see reality for what it is
maybe we could get to know love better
and maybe even know how to live it

song for tura on her 100th birthday - feb 4th, 2011

mama, you are a wonder

you laugh so easily

you always look to see 

that nobody's left behind

mama, you are a picture

sittin by the fire

talkin to people i can't see

waitin at heaven's door

but mama, you're not goin there yet

we've got a little more time here with you

and while you're still here

we'll play a little dominoes 

listen to roger's sermons 

laugh at something we said

and you'll say ''my stars''

and ''land sakes''

and have a glass of cabernet

every day at 4 o'clock

mama, you are a wonder,

you laugh so easily

with people i can't see

waitin at heaven's door

but mama, you're not goin there yet

we've got a little more time here with you.
