The Greater Passion

Music feeds my soul's deepest desire
Setting my heart in a warming fire
Pencil scratches and blends together
Creating a masterpiece on paper
Words release my inner emotion
And thoughts without great commotion

Art is a versatile pleasure
No matter what my life's weather

I nurture a love for furry creatures
Taking in pitiful strays that appear

And...

I dream of my own flesh and blood
Growing up before my eyes
Playing in summer rain and mud
Calling me "Mama"

These thoughts and joys and dreams
Are a part of me, yes

But nothing gives me greater peace
Than holding you while you're holding me
And I know there nowhere else I'd rather be

I know where my heart lies most true
My passion, my love, is you
