Three for Two
I
I get depressed on Mother's Day
And Father's Day too
I never noticed Children's Day
Except for you and you and you (and you)
I just wish there were a day for all of us
And if there is not never mind all the fuss
For me at least
(I am a beast
I know)
I believe in holidays
As I believe in always
Although
My mother is gone
And I am alone
I keep keeping on
But have always known
That I am a misfit ultimately
They do not have a holiday for me
II
Why is it always the "fear" of the Lord
They want? There is something about that word
Which is awkward and does not translate to
Love as some think that it does and some do
With nothing to lose but my fear I say
I will love the Lord and not be afraid
Somebody wants to control me this way
But love over fear is the choice I made
I believe in a God who feels like a kiss
And having lived fifty-five years in fear
I believe we need a little love around here
Nor need I be afraid of hell for this
My choice made I am not afraid to live
And I am even less afraid to die
I would live love and I would die to give
My fellow humans the right to ask why
And then if they forgot to ask why not
I would gladly ask on their behalf too
III
Hey you
(Who know who you are and who I am too):
I know it is madness but I want to be
And do
The highest the purest the noblest the best
Of me for you
Just because it seems like my destiny
And just because it seems like the rest of me
Will follow too
Although I am broken
(Am nobody)
It is unspoken
(If spoken by me)
That this is three for two
(And two is who?)
I know it is madness but: I love you

I get depressed on Mother's Day
And Father's Day too
Not so with me Steve.
Mothers day and fathers day are special days with me for wonderful memories of both. Because of them I am what I am.
Of course I must say that every day is a day unto the Lord.
God bless.
