april fools

news to open with
i met someone
i know shocking
met in the oddest
of places
funny that

this time it's
something worth
talking about
talking is what
we do a lot

we are taking it slow
something new for me
it's healthy i reported
to an ageless friend
healthy isn't good
4 us
she retorted

sarcasm saves me
i am funny
this i know

real scares me
truth holds answers
some i'm afraid
2 find

tonight i wrote a note
to my 1st grade teach
30 years @ the job
a party to be held
as well it should

my mama asked me
2 contribute
how could i say no
so i put life aside
to write

it's funny how the words just come
when you sit down to reflect
and write something 2 someone
who changed your life
as all my teachers did

just found out a new friend
someone i know is 4 life
is going away
2 get help
on a problem
i know all 2 well

i wish her luck
send all my love
can only imagine
the uncertainty
unsatisfied
disappointment
she must feel

i will see her tom night
will give her a little gift
and wish her the best
make sure she knows
i love her
am rooting 4 her
i'm on her team
will be there
in every way
i can

i cannot save everybody
i said tonight
2 mama
on the phone

love and light
2 u all tonight
there is peace
4 a minute
