SHERI'S BIRTHDAY BASH 47

SHERI
    Your birth 
still  means 
a  great deal 
yeah
and it always 
will 
Yeah, like
 your favorite 
meal 
on the grill  
on any given day
but except 
We get to say 
as we wipe tears away
happy 
You know the rest 
as your rest 
But we were blessed 
yes. 
no contest 
by the presence 
of 
your adolescence 
and 
like wheelchair prints 
in the sand 
mixed 
with God's unchanging 
hand and plan 
it was 
better than
not to have had 
at all

"SHERI'S SPACE CADET" ( on Earth)

GIRL

wonder what ur up to
up there 
yeah i swear 
i feel like 
a square 
since you put 
this round town

i feel like
Such a clown 
but 
I'm not 
laughin'

Captain Christ

a big slice 
out of  
my life

in paradise

FATHER GOD, WHAT ARE YOU WHEELIE DOIN'? (TO ME)

 Jehovah

or

 wear 

long hair 

like Samson 

Am I Ramson 

for handsome 

or 

the human

yeah, Father God

body 

MY SOUL 360 GOAL

 walk on my own 

for a year straight 

surrounded by love and no hate

GOD'S REAL EVERLASTING ASSIGNMENT TROPHY

obvioussly 

for not falling off

or 

being too soft 

on the family tree

360

IN THE GREY of PALSY

MAN

i'm in 

this body 

all the time 

it's mine 

and it's fine 

but i 

cry 

because i 

don't want it 

SH*t

yeah  because 

all i seem 

to do 

is sit 

in a wheelchair 

And I swear 

even with 

cool long hair 

it's still 

hard 

to play 

my part 

everytday 

as being 

okay 

in the grey 

of 

palsy 

THE RIVERS OF APPLE FRITTERS

     MAN

my heart is...

hurtin'

feelin' like...

burden

but my insides 

are workin' 

doubletime 

or 

rhyme 

for rhyme 

So I guess  

I'm still 

wheel blessed

even though 

my love life 

is 

slow

God refuses 

to let me

go

under the flo'

you kniw 

DINNER IS SERVE ( YEAH, EVERY SINGLE WORD)

MAN

you don't have to be 

physically able

to sit at

 God's table 

and

 you don't have to be

able to stand 

to speak 

God's plan

yeah, 

That's the way 

of the land 

but not

the Lord

yeah 

You can't afford 

to be bored 

on this walk

of eagles 

begles 

and 

hawks

or

wild prey 

every single

day 

okay 

yeah

come what may 

sunny 

funny 

or 

grey 

just stay

and work 

the dirt 

of the hurt 

of a few 

jerk chickens'

point of view

of 

you

put listen 

you belong 

in the kitchen 

and also 

in  the dining room 

with some beautiful tunes 

as the sun goes down

for dinner 

playing in the backgound
