Even if the despair of these new times weighs

If a like feeds hate, bro, in this episode

The spirit rests, prays and comes back one hundred percent

Silence everything the world says and thinks
About how much life is worth

Be light on this gray day

And she says 'God go with you, brotha, good morning'
_____
She gave me a kiss and it turned into poetry

God go with you, brotha

And a flash of love burst into joy
_____
God go with you, brotha

Come back to us like the number ten after the goal

My chest thumps, my eyes shine, that's having a family

For the little joys of adult life

I'm going to the front like a warrior

I'm gonna face everything head-on for her

It's a peaceful Saturday when you sleep longer

She complains about the sour, picks up the toys
_____
Today's triumph for me is the blue on the report card
_____
A good diaper sale at those drugstores

The dough from overtime coming from work

Gifts made with gouache and crepe paper remind me of my day

Run the marathon, finish first
_____
And yell 'it's for you, love'
