Unlike another
He’s a man unlike another.
There is a strength beneath confusion,
A will outweighed by fear. 
He longs for things he does not know,
And hides when you get close. 
Sometimes you hear the truth, 
Before it buries itself in doubt.
At times there is sincerity
That knocks you off your feet.
But I wonder when he calls
If it’s my voice that he hears,
Or a sound from a memory
That he isn’t sure is his. 
He’s a friend you see;
Someone I’ll always think of.
And one day I hope he hears
The voices that he calls.

Saturday’s song
You are quiet grace.
You hide determination.
You are what everyone wants
And something of your own creation.

A thousand eyes press into your face,
Five hundred needs are met.
And even when the stares wear thin,
Your smile lingers yet.

Lucky us who call you friend,
And he who loves you so.
Lucky them with the family tag
And the careers you help to grow.

So keep your quiet grace.
Don't sway your determination.
You are all you could ever want.
A force of pure creation.
