I Will Love You Still

  I will love you when pee on me and make poop portraits on the wall.

  I will love you when you kick and scream while shopping at the mall.

  I will love you when you scream I hate you, and repeatedly slam your door.

  I will love you if you break my favourite thing in the world all over the floor

  There’s nothing you can ever do to make it so I don’t love you because

  I made a deal with myself that very first day.

  When I stared down at the test in my hand that said my life would change.

  I promised myself deep down inside that I would do my best.

 To protect you from ever feeling pain but life puts that to a test.

  I knew that I would make mistakes because I am just only human to you know.

  So if you hate me today then that’s okay

  I’m yours forever anyway

  I wish there was some magic way to protect you from the pain that comes with fair weather friends.

  To teach you how to persevere when you feel like your life’s at its end.

  I wish that I could be right there when someone breaks your heart.

  So I can wrap you in my loving arms and help put back the parts

  Chances are I won’t be there and that’s okay I guess, because broken hearts just give us strength, and then we fall in love again.

  So tell me you don’t love me go ahead and say it to my face, because I will just love you anyway until my dying day.

No Ordinary Girl

 Her dreams they come in color like movie reels on a screen
She remembers every moment of magic she has ever seen
She is no ordinary girl

 Most days her hands are covered in mud from playing with bugs and worms.     
She’s really not too worried about girlie things like getting sick and germs.

It’s not that she’s untidy she usually starts out clean.
She never dreams of being a princess Because she knows she will be queen. 

She dreams of catching fire flies in the dead of night.
She wants to hold one in the palm of her hand to use it as a light

Sometimes she gets up very early before everyone is awake.
Just to watch the sun rise up and the colors that it makes.

She doesn’t think that she’s beautiful but it glows beneath her skin.
The woman one day she will become, shines like a sunrise from within.

Purple Booger

I’m pretty talented at flicking

I can launch them across the house

One time I launched one into the closet, and it was stolen by a mouse

I launch them in the kitchen, and I launch them in the den

I launched one in the car one day, and hit mommy in the head

I’m always very quiet about it – I’m very sneaky as you know

Cause if you get caught with it on your finger

into a Kleenex it must go
