To let you know that you are loved! 
Thank you for being the one person who wouldn't miss my arrival into the world.
For soothing my plaintive cries, regardless of the hour or my perceived need.
Showing me compassion, which I could then exercise with smaller, helpless beings.
A smile, a hug, a spanking, a meal, You always shared the warmth I needed.
For your conviction and grace when I was 4 and proposed to marry you one day,
All the love, guidance, protection and support you gave when you had none for yourself.
For all the little things that do not clean themselves.
I propose a  lifetime achievement award in love and beauty and truth.
For being the most sought after face in a sea of humanity when I thought I had lost you.
I love you dearly, today is your day.

The elephant led
Followed close by the lion
The hippo-pot-amus was trying
To keep the hungry bear from eyeing
The pepperoni pizza pie he viewed
And my, oh my that hungry walrus
way in the back was trying to stall us
smiling croc-o-diles from seeing it too
The elephant ate up that pie
and I won't sit here telling lies
the lion didn't like the place where he'd been led to
the hippo saw and started swearing
the bear saw too and started tearing
into that hippo who had blocked his view
the crocodile took a bite of the walrus
the grisly sight frightened all us
the lion loved the stew of bear
and here's the point i came to share
a hungry lion, crocodile and walrus
can't be counted on to call us
even though we're needed in the band

I have made up a great majority of my responses to answers from thin air.  It's not that I didn't think of the answers to search for, it's that I didn't actually answer the questions or posts that you asked or posted. 
I, sir or madam am a fraud, unrepentant, and simply a small wooden boy who only wanted to be a real blood and flesh human boy.

The moon kidnapped me and took me into his wisdom.
I was held ransom to a torn piece of bread flesh.
The cats sang hymns at the moon.
When he covered his ears, I saw my chance
I escaped and became a vagabond
The gypsy people took me to their hearts
I had to work, but it was the xylophone
I pounded that thing until it broke
when I was 9 i escaped
I was captured and enslaved to a Roman Senator
He was republican, I don't want to talk about it.
When I was too worn out for him, he found another little boy
I slaughtered the republican and fled with the little boy, and made him my brother
A passing caravan took us in.  We became Arabs and worshipped the moon.
I was sold to some Hindu's and we worshipped the sacred cattle.
They gave me to Jews and we sold diamonds in brussels
I was taken by Catholics and we gave all we had to the Church
I escaped to Ep.  And I lived happily ever after.

Up here
in the cold crystal blue
the sun never sets
There is light
but no warmth
to be warm
is to be human
I miss the brush
of your fingertips
across my pale shoulders
my neck
so much to do
to figure out
i sit hunched 
over the facts
i forever seek justice

It would seem that to you
I have fallen
into the deep end of the pool
But I didn't fall
I jumped
A child
ready
for whatever comes next

It's one nineteen
coming off shift
the solar lights 
glow yellow 
in the dark of early morning
The saturday morning cartoons
of the past
live only in my mind
along with the commercials
I'm alone again
the dark hours are upon me
my home awaits
alone
alone
the crush of loneliness on my soul
only makes me stronger

The most lovely blue
is what this world is made of
a long cylindrical slide
to the center of the earth
is what we do
some of us
are filler
the rest of us
are electrical impulse
cattle prod
to keep the beasts
moving 
in the right direction

Times have changed
bodies once broken and torn
by the cold rock below
now swim the seas
How do I get through to you
telegraph poles
line the streets
dot the desert landscape
fill my mind with numbers 
too great to count
airships
filled with ball bearings
direct from Bavaria
all within 
hundredths of thousandths
of an inch
tolerance
I count them all
if you wish
how do I reach you
must I swim the rocky seas?

Under the dog star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North, north west, the Stones of Faroe

Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?

All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting on empty seas
For all my days remaining

But would north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Dark angels follow me
Over a godless sea
Mountains of endless falling,
For all my days remaining,

What would be true?

Sometimes I see your face,
The stars seem to lose their place
Why must I think of you?
Why must I?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Why would you want me to?
And what would it mean to say,
That, "I loved you in my fashion"?

What would be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you

oh, see the storm is threatening
my very life today
if i don't get some shelter
yeah, i'm gonna fade away

war, children
it's just a shot away

(repeat)

oh, see the fire is sweeping
down through the streets today
burning like a bright red carpet

it's just a kiss away

Wash away my troubles, wash away my pain
With the rain in Shambala
Wash away my sorrow, wash away my shame
With the rain in Shambala

(chorus)
Ah, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Everyone is helpful, everyone is kind
On the road to Shambala
Everyone is lucky, everyone is so kind
On the road to Shambala

(repeat chorus)

How does your light shine, in the halls of Shambala (2xs)

I can tell my sister by the flowers in her eyes
On the road to Shambala
I can tell my brother by the flowers in his eyes
On the road to Shambala

(repeat chorus)

How does your light shine, in the halls of Shambala (2xs)
