Piano-playing seafood "I am going to get a tan!" I say,
For I had prayed for a hot, sunny day.
I packed some sandwiches and a peach
And I was all set to go to the beach.
You looked bemused and ruffled my hair,
Saying, "You're going to be so sunburnt, I swear!"
You're better off going out wearing a burka
Or staying at home practicing your Rondo alla Turca."

Annoyed at you for belittling me
But even more determined to go because of this mockery,
I say, "Oh yeah? Just you wait and see,
I'm going tanning without my sunscreen!"
You rolled your eyes and heaved a sigh.
"Alright then. Have fun, see you later. Goodbye."
Gleefully, I skipped out the door,

For Veronica To my dearest baby sister,
I want you to know
That I will always be here
If you've nowhere else to go.
I pray that you'll remember:
You are God's precious daughter,
That He loves you forever
And He will never let you falter.
He will keep you safe--
No harm will befall you
In His warm embrace--
He will see you through.
So be strong, little lamb,
And do not fear,
For God is the great I Am
And He is always near.
Don't let lost love find depression. He picks up his wrecked skates
and she picks up her broken guitar.

He gets angry
and she gets teary-eyed.

He paints his vision with deadly psychedelics
and she pain(t)s herself with stainless steel brushes.

He doesn't think
and she thinks too much.

He sits alone
and she stands in a crowd.

His cries are covered
and her forced laughter is loud.

His heart is tattered
and hers is in ribbons.

He stands up
and she takes a step, though timid.

He brings out the scotchtape
and she unearths her sewing kit.

He patches things up, finds his lopsided-grin
and she puts on her new dress, and around she spins.

Watching the ripples lap at her feet.

For Veronica

by ~artisand

To my dearest baby sister,
I want you to know
That I will always be here
If you've nowhere else to go.
I pray that you'll remember:
You are God's precious daughter,
That He loves you forever
And He will never let you falter.
He will keep you safe--
No harm will befall you
In His warm embrace--
He will see you through.
So be strong, little lamb,
And do not fear,
For God is the great I Am
And He is always near.
