Simple wishes song in progress

Simple wishes have I
Simple wishes three:
I wish you more
I wish you better
I wish you peace

More love than you can imagine
A better world with every new day
And that which we are all seeking
Peace at the end of our way

Simple…

More joys in life than sorrows
A better place for your children to grow
Where war is banished forever
And peace is all you know

Simple…

Weaving song in progress

Another weekend argument
The anger takes her through the day
And settles in that empty space
Where all the fights just seem to stray
And she wonders as she sometimes does
Why they always choose to stay

Entangled in each other’s lives
Unraveling a little here
Entangled in each other’s hearts
Unraveling a little there
Just tie the dangling threads together
Don’t let everafter tear

She fights the urge to take to flight
And he the one to run to ground
Both gambling that a little time
Will right their lives, bring them around
To where they join, again discover
Love apart is love not found

Entangled in each other’s lives
Unraveling a little here
Entangled in each other’s hearts
Unraveling a little there
Just tie the dangling threads together
Don’t let everafter tear

In between the ordinary
And underneath the everyday
A little glimpse of who they are
Enough to make them feel okay
Feel headed in the same direction
Love admitting feet of clay

Entangled in each other’s lives
Unraveling a little here
Entangled in each other’s hearts
Unraveling a little there
Just tie the dangling threads together
Don’t let everafter tear
