Planet Boogie


I should have
Put more pink in all your sunsets
Painted blue in your gray storm clouds
Begged the rainbows to stay longer
Kept the moon where you could find it
Made the nighttime always peaceful
Let you fly in all your dreams

I should have
Filled your yard with tiny puppies
Let you hold the brand new babies
Blown the dust off all your sweet days
Sang a song that made you boogie

I could have
Took your fear and burned it
Tossed the embers to the sky
Filled the night with shiny planets

Because you love them

I love puppies too…I’m sorry
