L is For Lady Sings the Blues

L is for . . . 

Ladies that sing the blues

Like Lena Horne and Lady Day

Like it’s golden

And in their own lucid way

Locked in the groove

Locked in the flow

Love to listen to

Them rock and roll

L is for . . . 

Loving what matters

And looking for things that

Makes you smile wider
Despite the things that sadden you up

And living your life

One day at a time

And loving yourself
unlimitedly
despite your falls
And your scrapes
And the errors you make

As the days move on by

L is for . . . 

Longing for cures
Longing to be sure

Looking for solutions
Longing for better conclusions

To the problems knocking on the door
To the issues that seem more
Like they tie knots in our gut
And make ushave the blues

Longing for unity
And Longing for love to be
The thing that changes the world
And longing for better ways day and night

And for different ways of life

And for all To live like a kid story

Ever after happily

L is for . . . 

Life could be better

But to remember that we have endured

And lived and fell and to be sure
That there is so much more to see
And so many reasons to love and let it free
Because despite our different dances and songs

We've lasted strong 
And until this moment we stand

We rise and try again

To see the things we want
Letting passion be the force
The booster up the rungs to see

That drives love to home court

And the inner joys to present themselves

Unlimitedly

L is for the blues music that tend to bring us some sanity
