​The Hat's Too Small

The hat's too small, I said.

They replied, the problem may be your head.

And as our Christmas Party began

One friend showed me so I might understand

By putting on the hat that covered her face

That the hat was not the problem in the first place.

​

So on her head the hat went then fell

All the way down - (whose face I will not tell).

The hat's too tight, I said again.

Then others at the party began to chime in.

​

They all agreed: the problem is not the hat.

And others were wearing hats that

Fit fine upon each just perfect head..

The hats too small, again I plead....

​

Another's hat decorated with lights and things

Fit fine on her head they said...and that brings

Them all into the fray about the sizing of the hat...

The hat is not the problem, and that is that.

​

Again I said, the hat's too small, it just doesn't fit...

But they would have none of it...

The problem is not the hat at all -

I could tell they were having a ball

Of course and it was at my expense,

But I continued to present my defense..

​

I pulled it down as far as it would go

Tugging, yanking, pulling.. all just to show

Them that, indeed, the problem was the hat..

Although tall, it was too small.. that was that.

We never resolved whether it was hat or head...

But decided to party on instead.

Listen to our silences

Listen to our silences, for they reveal the depths of love
Our words are only echoes of.

[Verse 1]
Listen to our watching eyes, for they unveil the best of love
Our silence is suggestive of.

[Verse 2]
Listen to each time we touch, for touch conveys the message of
Our never-same-thing moods of love.

[Pause]
In silence, quietly, watching
For songs our eyes may sing.

[Walk]
Beside me, quietly, listening
For what our love may bring.

[Chorus]
When the world fades away, it’s in these moments we find
A symphony of tender hearts, intertwined.

[Verse 3]
Listen to the gentle breeze, it carries whispers from above
Guiding us back to the trust of love.

[Bridge]
In the pauses between words, a deeper meaning lies,
Every heartbeat speaks volumes, in the way our souls fly.

[Chorus Repeat]
When the world fades away, it’s in these moments we find
A symphony of tender hearts, intertwined.

[Outro]
Listen to our silences, let them wrap around your heart,
For in the stillness of our love, we’ve made our own art.
