Friendship (Greatest Tie)
1-29-18

Weeding out the ivy growing over the wall
Across the Delaware we proceed
As if parting the waters
Every day is yours to win
Come friendship as the grace and marriage just a title
Remain as you are
The Lord will lift an ensign and gather all lost sheep
Word of God always good unlike man
Yes, the Lord is my stay
I'm not just saying this under Diblaim
Another daughter under Jotham
A senseless slaughter in flesh not one good thing
For our singular permanent decision in establishing friendship
Room enough for three...

Tomorrow's inspection already passed
It's all worth going there today
Restore in a spirit of meekness as a branch to be grafted in again
Reconciled in the words of this pen in all propitiation

Give yourself a pat on the back
No longer to become desolate
Woe and weal to those in the way
Upon viol and tabret and pipe
As to press grapes almost ripe
As to regard our muisick .....







He Buys You Diamonds

Affable and amiable the alliteration answering Aaron as spokesman
Selling secrets sometimes secluded

In fancy clubs and restaraunts and a sense of humor that says I still love you
Where life is not the ownership of such a stewardship
All things but borrowed
O, defend the poor and vindicate the needy
And remember the lesson of giving
Made it again, O praise the Lord
Where the mighty will be humbled
And I obtain my shaving cream
Affable and amiable....
