ABOUT A LITTLE PART OF YOU
WHILE THE REST OF ME IS EMBARRASSED BY MY CHOICE
Left is beckoning me with it’s seductive little song
and I know I should go right
But when left calls out with hip-hop music
And flashing lights that blind my eyes with hype
I sometimes forget that turning left
is what I decided not to do
The last time I had the choice
and left is what I chose
And it’s in the ice-packed hung-over afterglow
of music, lights and song
That persistent reminders
make it clear again
Left is not an easy way for me to go
……
Now with wisdom gleaned from choices
that have burned their lessons deep
One would think when challenged I’d be strong
But with the softest little echo
and the slightest hint of you
I dance in the shadows to your song
