Brandi wrote this for me on 3/18/00 *shy smile*

did i ever mention
what you're worth to me?
you're worth all the sunshine
whenever you smile
you're worth the stars
when you laugh
the special way you laugh
you're worth a thousand words
maybe more
when you just hold my hand
you leave me speechless
you comfort me
whenever i cry
and if i were asked
what i did to deserve such a blessing
i wouldnt know why

here's some more by her...

ONE WORLD by Brandi Dilling

one like the other
drones going on
yes sir master sir
as you wish
were all electronic now
scan each new baby in
right into the system
make sure every being
is accounted for
take your number
so we can watch you
freedom is somewhere
in our dirty past
every mind on this rock
linked back to one center
without choice
what can you do
nothing
i dont like this
what did you say
watch what you say
they can hear you
shh
mommy im afraid
shh
can they see us
can they detect us
yes, yes they can
and were owned
like animals
with invisable brandmarks
and they're herding us in
keeping count
democracy is dead
hoorah they say
help we say
communism is overtaking
and theres nothing
that we can do

SPARKLE by Brandi Dilling

kiss me sweetly
please
catch me
before i dance
right out of reach
i dont think i can
stop my feet
from flying
catch me
in your net
but dont touch
look at me
arent i pretty
look at me
but let me fly
hey mister
arent you listening
because im singing
for you
for humanity
to share a spark
of love and music
to set off
a fire of their own

BARBIE by Brandi Dilling

perfectly pretty in every way
flawless plastic smile
with a perfect plastic boyfriend
and perfect plastic friends
go shopping for new pink clothes
that always fit just right
brush the long blond hair
go driving in the shiny red car
i can be anything
pretty in pink
annoyingly perfect
i dont want to be me
i want to be like barbie.

LONG WAY by Brandi Dilling

you've come a long way baby
but you're not really sure
if you're here to stay
sometimes its a little bit
up and down
sort of like a seesaw
in the park
you've actually seen
happiness
the same happiness
you'd thought was gone
forever
its so bright its painful
you cant help but wonder
how long till its over?
what will you do
when its over?

will you be left standing
or will you be flat
on your face
once again
the choice is up to you baby
because you've come a long
long way
and it'd be a shame
to see you go back

SILVERWINGS by Brandi Dilling

dont you know
you're my angel
maybe you're undercover
no one else sees you
as you really are
but thats their problem
not ours
dont you know
i love you
and im giving everything
and i just want you
to be happy
because
you make me happy
you take me flying
with silverwings
because you're my angel
