"The one for me"

Are you the one for me
Or is it another closer to my dream
Not a knight in shining armour,
just someone as vulnerable as me.

I do know that
You love me tremendously
But tell me truly
Are you the one for me
Or is he someone else
That I havent even met
As yet,
Except in those fantasies when
everything is just as it should be.

Still, sometimes I do wonder
If you are not the one for me
Why I think of you ever so often
And dream of you every once in a while.

Love me do
And make me believe
You are he,
The one for me
And he is none other than you.

alternately

You can love me for awhile,
even hold me and pretend that you are he
But when he comes along,
As one day it is bound to be,
I wont tarry,
Ill be gone before you even know
I will be waving goodbye,
coz you are not, you couldnt possibly be,
the one for me.

"My cosmic mama"

My mama was a simple woman
A simpler and more lovin woman
You couldnt find.

She put me in her soft sweet cosmic cushy lap,
Breast fed me on her warm and liquid embrace
She nurtured me in her bountiful universal presence,
And for a long, long time she and I were one
Unified in unbounded love and abundance.

But there came a day
When I had to be weaned away
And my self began to grow, n i became more defined
Even as my essence got left behind.

The more I became me
The more I went away from she
Who was just a simple woman
I am now a strong independent intelligent person
But my mama
My mama was a simple woman
And a simpler and a more earthy woman
You couldnt find.

My mother, my self said Nancy Friday
But I look in the mirror every single day
And try to feel the love she had for me
The love the joy the glory and the grace
That I know are mine
That I know I am
Someplace within
Deep inside
Where she and I are one
One with everyone and everything
In the cosmic ying
But my mama she was a simple woman
A simpler and more earthy woman
You couldnt find.
