Dedicated to my Winnie-girl
5in5: Day 2

Mama played saxophone
And mama likes jazz
Daddy can sing a tune
And his drumming ain't so bad
Auntie's got a touch of gospel fever
And uncle likes Billy Joel
Baby, I know
You're gonna find, gonna find, gonna find
Your own song

I remember that day
Oh, I felt it deep
Snuggled soft in my arms
I was making you a melody
You were staring up at me, baby girl
You were soakin up every word
Baby, I know
You're gonna find, gonna find, gonna find
Your own song

Make your music loud
Baby girl, you gotta let it go
Take a big breath and sing like you mean it
Put on a show, go 'head and swing it
Or sing it soft and sweet
Hum low and tap your feet
Baby, I know 
You're gonna find, gonna find, gonna find
Your own song

Your Own Song

5in5: 2016, Day 1

Beyond the Green

It's been 16 months, almost 17
Since you stepped on a plane
And flew far away, so far away
Beyond the green, and carried me
Into the blue
You dropped me just before eternity

It's been 2 years, minus one day
Since you got in a car
And drove far away, so far away
Your face touched mine, one final time
Embracing you
You dropped me just before eternity

Into the blue, oh you dropped me, you loved me
You left me
Into the blue, fighting, drowning, I'm reaching
Not speaking
But never could I find an answer
The questions outnumber
The preachers, the teachers, the foolish and the wise
Clinging to a hope unseen
Dear brother, now, beyond the green

Beyond The Green (5in5  2016, Day 1)

The Mom Song #sorryisuck

Olivia, hallelujah
You are my dream come true
This empty house is full of noise
It's not the dog, not a movie, it's you
My heart, it is a'burstin'
My legs, they are a'movin'
Someone wake me cuz this can't be real
I'm blessed but stressed
This mama's such a mess
Help me, Lord
Cuz I suck most of the time

I have my moments
I deserve a shining award
I've been unselfish
But those endless nights
And all the mealtime fights
Were part of the bargain, so I can't blame you

Me and Daddy got day jobs
And mama works evenings, too
But you eat organic
And breastmilk's in the bottle-
[Pitiful discourse recalling my failures]

You know I've wept at church
Praying every prayer I know
When Jesus searched for the family
That was best to help you grow
Heavenly Father
Gilbert, Arizona was surely not your first choice?
I have so many faults
Have I even giv'n my all
Precious baby
I guess it doesn't matter
Cuz Roberti's on the papers
Just ask the judge in Arkansas

5in5: 2016, Day 3

Glory Be (Rosary)

Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen

Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sings, save us from the fires of Hell and lead all souls to Heaven
Especially those in most need of thy mercy
Amen

Glory Be (Rosary)

Up Above the World So High- Twinkle's Story

Anthem of the Cursed

Garage Band and Sound Cloud, Facebook and iPhone
Composing, recording, uploading my photos
If I see another screen
I may lose my mind
A typical Friday, Day 5 of 5in5

The music is inside me, oh it feels like a disease
And yes the throbbing and the pounding
Would you pass the aspirin please
I can't escape the onslaught
Lyrics! Notes!
Angela Lansbury, rescue this victim
I'm on "Murder She Wrote."

It's Coldplay vs Wagner vs National Lampoon
i don't know if I want opera, broadway or write a cartoon
Get thee to a Nunnery
(Shakespeare quotes?)
To thine own self be true
Garbage for lovers and fools
Get me off this boat

Give some wine and a chunk of free time
I'm a mom, it's obvious this plan will fail
But I don't smoke, and I don't do dope
Good grief, my sanity has just set sail
I'm grumpy and exhausted
I'm addicted to my out of tune piano
I would love an intervention
Just don't leave me alone in silence with my thoughts

Hannah Roberti
