* *You Brought Me Up * *

You promised me gloves
From the skins of the fishes
The smile of a dolphin
For a ring in my hands
But you left me nothing
But a mouthful of air
And promises as wide as the ocean

- de Paor

* *Requiem * *

O great Mother of the Earth
Please bless this daughter of thine
Show her the light
Show her the sign

O great Mother of the Earth
She must not be of blame
For while she has taken two daughters
She is our sister all the same

O great Mother of the Earth
Please bless this daughter of thine
Bless the life ahead of her
Forgive her sins behind
Bless your unborn daughters
May happiness they will find

Thus quoth Joie at 9:57 PM
