We watched the big clouds
Rolling over the Golden Gate
Ragtag teams of birds
Gathering to go far away
I'm open to getting to know
Those on the other side
But nothing can compare to life
Right next to my precious child
I'm closer than I've ever been
To the Mother of all the worlds
But the conquest and the victory
I know is found in the daily swirl
Blows my mind
That we find each other
And that we try til the day we die
There are times
I can't bear the sweetness
Of the children we made
And all the splendor I have witnessed
As we get closer, as God shakes the game
