UNDER MY SKIN
Rebecca Foon

2019


Your name reminds me
Of when I was young
That boy I knew
Who had your name
Stuck in my head
Foreshadowing
A common dream
Sweeping under my skin

Your belief
For a brighter road
Inspires me
To work harder
And harder
You once told me
This script of our lives
How it all unfolds
Oh these words of mine
I really wrote them for you
So wanting you to hear
How deeply I am moved
This angelic sweetness
Washing over you
Not trapped
By other's
Dominating strings
Let them all fall away
Magnificent beginnings
Hopeful stories
Sustainable dreams

Oh I dream of hope
I dream of love
Oh I dream of you
What does it all mean
I really don't know
But we continue to try
For us all to be
Able to thrive
For us all to be
Able to thrive
