Respecting


Strong messages read after two years of time,
New challenges turned you're life on a dime,
Inspired I am with the way you've become,
Respecting you so much...for the things you've overcome.

You changed when the times got tough,
Seems like there are no more attitudes with life and hating over crappy stuff,
I mistook you when we talked back in the day,
Respecting you so much...for crossing the hurdles in an adult way.

Love and loyalty for the responsibility,
Got your shit together with what matters and devoid of hostility,
Inspired I am by things you say about your new family,
Respecting you so much...now that you've become a "we".

The weight of a daughter...taken without stumbling, without hesitant restraint,
Your priorities straight, actions worthy of a saint,
I look into your eyes, seeing the happiness mixed with pain,
Respecting you so much...for bringing hope in humanity back again.

You've earned faith from a soul who judged you wrong,
Speaking of you with tones of utter respect and how your will is strong,
Inspired I am with who and what you have turned into,
Getting deep respect from someone who mis-characterized you.

Sock Monkey

I place my arms above my head, Curl my hands in an ape-like way, Bend and bow my legs just like an orangutan, Then stick out my lips and jaw…for a monkey face. Push out my feet so I walk with a funny gait, Belly sticking out…just like a chimp, Making the sounds a gorilla would make, Bouncing around the room for a giggle’s sake… Sock Monkey I am today, The laughter bowls over in an uncontrolled way, Do you wonder why we close the doors and lock the locks? It’s because I do the monkey dance…in nothing but my socks! Eric B. Ramey Copyright ©2005 Eric B. Ramey

Where Are You?

I sit here and wait, My heart breaking with each minute passing, I wonder where you are... And why you have changed. You used to be different, Something in you has gone astray, I wonder where you are... And if you love me no more. I say to myself that nothing is wrong, But why lie when I feel it in my soul, I wonder where you are... And dream of the things you used to say. I've been down this road before, It all feels the same, I wonder where you are... And if I'm the one to blame. I still love you and that will never change, I want to hold you in my arms and wash away the pain, I'm wondering where you are my love... And if my heart was given in vain. Eric B.

Maybe One Day

Foolish notions of trying to hang on, Seeing what's not real, Wanting to live the fairy tale. Hearing it twice in one life, Finally "getting it" I guess, Two times, twice the charm. Asking in vain for it to continue, Rebuffed by the cliché phrase, "Maybe one day", translation: "I'm with another, so go away!" Eric B. Ramey Copyright ©2005 Eric B. Ramey
