Take a minute and look at it, what does it say?
Do you see what I see? This is always a fun game to play?
Rainy all day, homework blows, what else can I do today?
Depression filling my thoughts, I must escape from reality
I needed something inspiring to look at or face the fatality
Wishing you were here more than ever recall before
Remember those tattoos on your birthday, I paid for
A few moments ago I was pondering on the hummingbird
Purple and brilliant upon your back, beautifully, it hovered
Requiring inspiration like you used to give me; I came across this purple picture
Was looking for a purple hummingbird like on you, instead found adventure
Reminding me of the grapes I paid for on that tattoo visit as well
It was your birthday, I couldn't say no, instead said what the hell
Never understanding why you liked the color purple so darn much
Not to mention a fascination of grapes, hummingbirds, and such
This one picture, I seen it all and finally could understand why it was so
That you loved these three beautiful things, now I can say I do know
The beautiful imagination and inspiration you seen in only those three
The answer coming to me, as if sent directly from up above, I did see
I pondered upon the week all day, in that instant, my problems were gone
I realized all the times I wanted to pick up the phone, you were here all along
All of a sudden, once again finally, I felt alive and like I was set free
The way I felt when you were around, nothing to ponder, or worry
Time did pass, an hour actually, when I realized where I was and the time it was
Laughing hysterically all alone in the house, mind malfunction, happen it does
Loony is something I am not, sometimes crazy but that is always in fun
Laughing by myself is fine, but falling out of the chair in front of no one?
The only thing I could think about when I was supposed to missing you
Was that poor, pitiful excuse of a tattoo of a black cat, you hated it, too
We always had a black cat, we both picked that, so it just always happened
But what on earth caused you to be inspired to put that on your rear end?
All the years, we shared in common a liking for a black cat; even have one now
Never knowing, no matter how hard I think, ponder, or picture will I know how?
The only marking a valuable lesson: always think first before you do that
I know why I paid the big bucks for that one black cat to giddy up! Scat!
A cluster of big purple grapes, you picked your artist to create the design
What on earth you were thinking, I never understood; On your behind?!
When the artist completed his job, you went straight home to show me
On the webcam the picture of your cluster of grapes strung on your booty!
You were so proud of the decision you made on that special birthday
My opinion I held to myself; it wouldn't have mattered much anyway
The smile I seen on your face, I never thought I would ever go without
Never seeing your smile again, never knowing what His plan was about
Laughing today in just fun memories, of the person that I truly loved the most
How going to radiation in the end, baring naked the rear; grapes you'd post
Showing anyone who expressed interest, not a care in the world, the best gift
Today, I still don't understand purple hummingbirds and grapes; I got the drift
Even though physically you are not visible, you are always right by my side
Still protecting me in the thinking my decisions through, setting aside pride
Reminding exactly what love is, and where my inspiration does come from
A love misunderstood by some, one I was about to let go, thanks you mom!
I needed that reminder why I am as strong as I am, and why I continue to fight
Relentless and stubborn, I learned from him; Decisions? You taught me right
Think them through fully and wholeheartedly; patience, my dear
The answer will come in time even in a purple blob it might appear
One that started out as a vision of those silly hummingbirds and grapes
Ending in purple visions of people in love, stopping preliminary mistakes
I always think about you mother, wishing one more day we could have shared
Dedicated in the memory of you, I write this today, always by my side, prepared
