6000 Miles
(Song For Kath)

Mommy's little helper
and Daddy's baby girl
Judge and jury
referee
in their stupid
private war.
Friend in deed
afraid of need
nothing less
and nothing more
Laughing on the ceiling
crying on the floor.

I know you need a hand sometimes
and I'd gladly offer mine.
I'd let you lean on me
and forever be
the patient listening kind.
But not today
I'm sad to say
till someone finds a way
to cry upon a shoulder
6000 miles away.

Brother's secret keeper
and sister's lucky break
Friendly fire
prophet-izer
call the truth straight
from the fake.
Friends will bleed,
revolt, secede
some will give
and some will take
A soul insists on soaring
even as it breaks.

I know you need a hand sometimes
and I'd gladly offer mine.
I'd let you lean on me
and forever be
the patient listening kind.
But not today
I'm sad to say
till someone finds a way
to cry upon a shoulder
6000 miles away.

Words made out of wonder
and words made out of pain
scribbled quickly
hidden slickly
like tears shed
in the rain.
Words will come
words will go
drive you crazy
or keep you sane.
Everything said is gone
but the words remain.

I know you need a hand sometimes
and I'd gladly offer mine.
I'd let you lean on me
and forever be
the patient listening kind.
But not today
I'm sad to say
till someone finds a way
to cry upon a shoulder
6000 miles away.

Oh, George. You made me cry.

Now that's a beautiful song.

Very nice piece....as most everything you write...))

As always, it is good. I always like what you put to paper.

Shorty

Really good, really pretty.
