Baby You

Baby you.

Baby your nerves were so pure.
You reminded me of those moments when I feel so much excitement I don't even know what to do with myself.

I wasn't sure who was who for a moment
But I do know we shared the same injury.

Baby you
Baby me
And we understand that much.

In due time it will make more sense.
So, for now, baby you.
Literally just pamper yourself every chance you get.

And we can make friends.

Dave Matthews Band - You

When You Were Blind

When you were blind your heart still warmed the coldest.
You must have been able to sense how people were responding to you.
You waltzed through your pain like you had none at all.
That's what made you so divine.
You asked me if you could feel my face and told me I'm beautiful.
You must have wanted to know what I looked like.

So now you're bright and bold and strong.
And her smile is huge.
I'm happy about that.
Happy about you.

Google

I remember you. It was a really hard day for me and I was exhausted.
My son was exhausted too which didn't make it any easier for me.
But I liked you. And I liked everyone else I encountered at the office.
And the office space was open minded.

Sun and Moon

   I love to write children's books. The one posted to the right of this blog is the first one I've published and my favorite because it was inspired by my first son, Ellington. A family friend of ours who works for NASA discussed it with me right after it was published. I was telling her I think the moon is like the love of a parent for their child. She told me in the Iranian culture, people believe the sun is like the love of God. So I love the book because of all of the symbolism and meanings in the essence of it. We can't exactly love our children as well as the Almighty, but we try to reflect that type of love.

Worth It

Coming along to pick me apart like I'm a house?
Like a mess that might not be cleaned up... ever.
What are you, my neighbor?

You Set Me Free

I can't find my headphones. Those little things.
I just want to blast music videos and read and read and read certain ones to determine 2 million different perspectives and meanings from them.

But this one. This one gave me a certain peace I've been longing for.
I've watched it before, studied and loved the sound, her voice.
But this time, I understood what I've been missing in that part of me that needed mending.

Makes me feel like a little girl trying to follow her mother at Disneyland.
The loving, healing power of a woman, a mother...

Here We Are

When you're trying to find your way in this world,
and you don't really know who you are or who you want to be,
Just remember who you were when you didn't know who you were,
Remember when you were trying to find your way in this world,
And welcome the moment you're in.

Hold on to what makes you smile and laugh,
Think about what was so great it was practically magical and embrace it.

The moments of erupting laughter
Of frustrated tears
Of doubtful body language
Of hopes and fears

And know you got through
Whether someone helped you or you were in the loving wings of the Almighty
Here you are.
