THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU
MY BEAUTIFUL FURRY FRIEND
I LOVE TO PET YOUR FUR
AND LISTEN TO YOU PURR
YOU'RE A WONDERFUL COMPANION
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HEARD DON'T CRY
THAT'S THE WORST ADVICE YOU COULD GET
IT'S BEST TO LET OUT A HEAVY SIGH
WHENEVER YOU GET UPSET
AN IMPORTANT WAY TO RELEASE
SO THE SADNESS CAN CEASE
TOO MANY UNSHED TEARS HELD IN
IS WHERE A LOT OF HEALTH PROBLEMS BEGIN
SO NEXT TIME YOU'RE SAD JUST HAVE A GOOD CRY
YOU'LL FEEL LOTS BETTER JUST GIVE IT A TRY
SO MANY STORIES TO BE TOLD
WHO WILL FIND THEM DO YOU SUPPOSE
IS IT RANDOM OR DESTINY
THE WAY YOU FIND THEM FOR YOU TO READ
DOES IT SATISFY SOME NEED
IS IT SOMETHING YOU SHOULD HEED
I SUPPOSE IF IT MAKES YOU THINK
IT'S PURPOSE IS SERVED WITHIN A BLINK
PERHAPS A KIND OF MISSING LINK
THAT FEELS LIKE A SECRET WINK
LETTING YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT ALONE
FIGURING IT OUT ON YOUR OWN
WHEN SOMEONE MAKES YOU FEEL DUMB
FOR ASKING ANY QUESTIONS
IT'S USUALLY JUST BECAUSE
THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS
THERE ARE NO DUMB QUESTIONS
BUT MAYBE DUMB ANSWERS
WHEN AFRAID TO ADMIT
YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT
WHAT IS THE RIGHT SIZE
DOES ONE SIZE FIT ALL
HOW SHORT IS TOO SHORT
HOW TALL IS TOO TALL
ANIMOSITY
AN ATROCITY
A MONSTROSITY
WITH VELOCITY
CURIOSITY
I ALWAYS HAVE MY ARMOR UP
A TOUGH NUT TO CRACK
BEST KNOW WHEN ENOUGH'S ENOUGH
SO JUST WATCH YOUR BACK
AM I PART PORCUPINE
PART ARMADILLO
DON'T GET TOO CLOSE YOU'LL FIND
IT'S BEST NOT TO KNOW
SOMETIMES WHEN I HEAR THE TRAFFIC GO BY
I HEAR THE SOUND OF WAVES
IT CAN'T BE THE LAKE NOT REALLY NEARBY
A COUPLE OF MILES AWAY
IT CAN'T BE THE RIVER RIGHT DOWN THE BLOCK
IT ALWAYS SEEMS SILENT BUT PERHAPS NOT
MAYBE SENSING ITS PRESENCE IN SOME WAYS
CONVEYS TO ME THE SOUND OF WAVES
WHY DO WAVES COME IN THEN GO BACK OUT
WHEN THEY REACH THE SHORE
DO THEY FIND IT'S NOT WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR
SO THEY GO BACK OUT YET TURN AROUND AGAIN AND AGAIN
THINKING MAYBE THEY WILL FIND SOMETHING DIFFERENT
