Anesthesia Dreams

Watched my whole life playin' on the old tv.

Surprised to find there really wasn't much to see.

During the dramas that seemed impossin' 

I found myself a-dozin'

'cause it always seemed to work out perfectly.

The greatest moments seemed filled with just simplicity

laying in the grass wrapped in child like curiosity

little wonders overjoyed the heart

a natural education did inpart,

and it was good.

The insects seemed their own college professors

not an irriation, bug, or molestor,

but a tiny piece of God's textbook

made me want to take a second look

and I grew.

Then I saw the momma deer watch over her doe.

Her gentle eyes would move where ever she'd go.

Knowin' 'round ever corner, danger

not wantin' her afraid of every stranger

she would watch.

While watchin' my tv, I noticed while sighin'

that I did much more laughin' than I did cryin'.

And I figured no more could I humbly ask

but my own laugh track declaring "This too shall pass".

And I felt at peace.
