STUMBLE AND FALL We all stumble and fall Once or twice Some of us more On the roads we walk To our finality. Yet somehow we know How To pull ourselves up again.

TAKE ME DOWN TO THE SHORE When I am no longer Who I am And can no longer see Reality Take me down to the shore Let the salt air embrace me Let Ocean’s waves caress my pain.
