Ra was a divine being And so far I can’t find Any evidence to support you’re not.
Some say he created us Through sweat and tears I’m not saying You’ve done the same Yet there are times I’ve felt baptized in yours Thought you were the only reason The gods ever created human beings.
Ancient Egyptians often Called themselves: “Cattle of Ra” I’m not ashamed to say You’re my shepherd I’d follow you anywhere you lead.
Now, Ra is best known as a sun god The ruler of both the Earth and sky And, of course, it’s true you rule mine But maybe you’re nothing like him Because the way you shine Blinds the light.

Three Facts About Me
1. I prefer a rainy day to sunshine.
2. I usually never stop singing, and I don’t even have a very good voice. I might be louder when I’m by myself than when I’m in a crowd. And yet I’m actually a very quiet person.
3. I’m allergic to 6 of the 8 most common allergies: milk, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans.
A day I didn’t realize was the best day of my life until it was over: the day I met the soul of my soul, the love of my love, my twin flame connection. Or perhaps the day she was born, but I didn’t know her then, or known that I would ever meet her, so I couldn’t have known that until now that that would be the best day.
What’s the most important thing Covid-19 taught you?
Don’t waste one second of the time you have with the ones you love.
If you had to spend one day as an inanimate object, what would you choose and why?
Her hairbrush, of course. Then I get to be in her hands everyday and run my bristles through her hair. I could be lipstick, too. Then I could be on her lips all day and look good as a bonus. But I would have to be the very best shade. Maybe a red. A color that never goes out of style.
Have you ever almost died? If so, share your story!
Yes, I probably should be dead. Starting in fall of 2016 and for about 3 years after that I couldn’t really eat food, due to an esophagus issue and a bad reaction to acid reflux medication. I dropped lots of weight and went down to 109 pounds even at one time. I mainly lived off of sunflower butter (which I had to put on everything and eat in spoonfuls), candy, and potato chips just to try and keep my weight from going down any lower. At times I wasn’t even able to sip more than a few sips of water a day. Not really sure how I managed to live through that, and I don’t recommend this diet to anybody. It was terrible. If you ever suffer from reflux just try some ginger first. Natural cures work!
Got a new doctor Checked my blood pressure Off the charts He was concerned But I wasn’t Since I was thinking of you Ordered a CT scan of my heart next It was unthinkably enlarged The technician was gobsmacked But I wasn’t Since it housed my love for you EKG came back abnormal, showed no activity whatsoever The nurses were petrified But I wasn’t Since my heart only beats around you They didn’t believe me, of course Until you walked through the door
You can’t love me There’s no chance Built a wall around my heart Surrounded by a cage And then a bunch of booby traps Don’t try to force your way through I’m no boyfriend, no part-time lover Not even qualified for a one-night stand I’m one-hundred-percent husband material So don’t blow me a kiss I’ll just blow it away Mi casa es no su casa My house is not your house My house is hers, just hers, always hers.
Your day Shouldn’t be Just one Since the love you deserve Couldn’t be received In a night and a day I would start with a month And a present for each date Though in my heart of hearts I celebrate your birth every time I look your way
I want to stretch you to the stars Unlock all your windows and doors Take you to a romantic peak you’ve never been to before Turn up the music on the way Only pop and rock and roll Then rest your jet-lagged soul Since it’s not just these words I’m fluent in touch too Once ignited there’s No tidal wave on Earth That could put me out I have full mastery Over the flames So hot I could burn endlessly Even as a fire in Antarctica Feel my heat just one time And they’ll hear your screams From the land of the free and the home of the brave All the way across the sea to the highest point of the Himalayas But—please!—don’t let your mother read these feelings Because I was grounded when my mother read yours
