40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"i could write a million verses of words you've heard before
steal some of dylan's best,
but it'd leave me wanting to say more
cause there's so much moreeeee
there might be hope for me [the wanderer] yet"
--
I wish you freedom
I wish you peace
I wish you nights of stars
That beckon you to sleep
I wish you heartache
That leaves you more of a man
There are rhymes and there are reasons
And times when nothing stayed the same
But you know my love still remains
I wish you wisdom
I wish you years
I wish you all these
To conquer all your fears
I wish you courage from all that life demands
I wish we were together
I wish I was home
I wish there were nights
Where I was never alone
You know I've said it
And I'll say it once again
I wish I could be there
But I can't
current mood:  calm
current music: marcie-marc broussard (1 comment |comment on this)
