Laid Up

G-d has the last laugh.

Here I am
about to marry
and thinking of the dancing
going for last fittings
purchasing accessories
shoes...

and all it takes
is one little slip
and I'm laid up
iced up
hopping about on one leg.

I'll be glad if I'm able to
walk down the aisle.
and i sure hope i'll be able to dance some.

and now it's up to mom
to finish the shopping
and packing

and my poor chosson is left
wondering what he can do
to make me more comfortable
but realizing that he can't.

guess we'll make the best of it
and laugh about it
in our old age.

till next time,
I remain

Dreamer.

Purim Date Revisited...

Part 1

Part 2

Driving Song

Hands tapping the steering wheel
While waiting for the light to change
Humming the tune makes it more real
When you're so out of range

And I hear you softly whispering
Goodbye
And as the light turns from red to green
I know that I...

I'm thinking
As I'm driving along
And I'm dreaming
As I'm singing our song
And I'm hoping
That everything will be OK with you
Yes I do...


Turning up the music full blast
Singing along at the top of my lungs
Helps me to live a bit of the past
While staying what I've become

I roll down the window next to me
To feel the wind blow
And though you're not where I want you to be
I'll say what I know

Cuz I'm thinking
As I'm driving along
And I'm dreaming
As I'm singing our song
And I'm hoping
That everything will be OK with you
Yes I do...

Hurt

Locked in a power struggle
I have no wish
To be a part of.

As long as someone is helped,
Who cares who does the helping?

Do you really have to put another down?

Do you really have to confuse
Someone who is already quite confused?

Do you really think my hashkafos
Are not up to par?

Why are you catching me on something
You do yourself?

Why are you taking me to task
For something you never spoke to me about?

Have you ever asked me
Why I do the things I do?

Have you ever asked me anything at all?

And one last question -
Would you ever have spoken to her if I hadn't done so first?



I'm so glad I'm leaving this school.
