Breakdown
momma, don't be angry
is it something that we did
momma, don't ignore us
as we climb on top your bed
momma, we are hungry
it is past time we were fed
momma, you can't feed us
if you don't get out of bed
we're just little children
and we do not understand
why you lie there staring
at our tiny outstretched hands
momma, please forgive us
you're so far away it seems
we're young and we don't know
just what nervous breakdown means

But Sister
men-
they like to see us smile
no doubt
they like us cheerful
you say
but sister-
if it isn't them
that push
us toward a
joyless state

Can You Hear Me Cry
can you hear me, Lord
when i cry
sometimes, i feel like
i could die
my cross is heavy
my path dark
the wounds i carry
leave their mark
can you hear me, Lord
when i cry
i am not hard yet
by and by
i wonder if you
hear me Lord
sometimes i do
cry to you

Celebration Of Love
we celebrate birthdays
b e c a u s e
and so tonight
i help to celebrate
your day
not with wine
not with words
but with music
and with feeling
for the warmth
of your love fills me
and moves me
making me silent and calming
the storm inside me
Faith Elizabeth Brigham
