Fly Away Home

I've left my nest and flown far
I look back hoping to see my future
A ray of hope, a silver lining
A future that gives me my nest

Hopes Together

We are asking you

The request for you to say yes

We yearn for that day

That truly brings us together

We love you, we respect you

Moments with you are cherished,

Moments to be with you are dreamed

And yet, you refuse

One nod, one smile, one yes

A hope still burning wild in us

We look to you with eyes filled with dreams

For you to see it, for you to accept it

We know it is difficult for you

A life lived too long this way

For you don't know of life our way

And yet, we know it is not impossible for you

The world knows it, accepts it

It has been done, 

Even when you say no

But we wait..we wait because of our hope

No, we don't need you

We dont need your nod or your smile

We want you, because we know

We are because of you

We stand tall and speak to you

Because you showed us how

You taught us to have strength

Values that we should believe in

So here we are, asking you

Rooted in our values, our strength,

Our love.

With hopes still burning wild in us

For one nod, one smile, one yes from you.
