Changed amy hindman August 31, 1998

Today, it seems I’ve changed

somehow the world doesn’t feel the same

Familiar shadows revealed again

Sweet sorrows remembering when

It’s strange how the body knows

hidden beneath scarlet ribbons and bows are wounds of long ago

somehow it knows

And now I see through my eyes

what you might see in a different light

loved ones gathered by your side

in the blink of an eye you might die

Walking the ledge to eternity

afraid of dying and leaving your family

on this final journey coming home to be free

The times I’ve lived in pain

I’d like to go home again

the suffering of this human form

sometimes I wish I’d never been born

Remembering our divinity

obscured within humanity is a life purpose to be free

being who we’re birthed to be

I dreamed of you one night

from heaven I came on a 10-speed bike

you were young, so handsome then

in a minister’s robe way back when

I knew your face I loved your smile

but I would not be born for awhile

You didn’t know that girl in the hall

she picked her father cause he was the best choice of all

for creating her path on earth chosen at birth

And daddy you have blessed me with the presence of love all my life

you’ve given me so purely a strength of spirit through strife

So blessings on your journey home


I know for you you’ll never be alone

and when you see the light

we’ll hold you in flight

Today, it seems I’ve changed . . .
