Happy Birthday Schwes by mary

Some people live a life time

Looking for love

In the street

Searching for tenderness

 in their marriage

Some people travel the world

Looking for companions

People to laugh with

And to ogle at the passerbys

Or to jump in the sea

And giggle in its foam

Some people

Never know how to hold hands

For love

Or hug for life

Some body has never wiped

The hair from a sweaty scared brow

or known

How to be gentle with a growing heart

or careful with a hurting body

Some people search and search

For the truth in others

never having known it

Some people

Haven’t written an honest letter

About their insides

Holding it all in

They haven’t heard a voice on the phone

And known

The kind of day

That voice has had just by its sound

Some people

Haven’t slept in twin beds

Double beds

And on couches

With another

Some people

Haven’t watched another grow

Some people

Haven’t helped another

Stretch further

Some people haven't kept

a bond going

for thousands of miles

over years and years

Some people haven't heard

the wailing of pain

in a heart hurt by disappointment

Some people haven't heard

that wail turn into a laugh

a moment later

Some people haven't held a newborn

and watched 29 years later

when she held her own

Others have judged others away

Those people never had a sister
