Both Sides of the CookieA Poem by Tyrae'Two sides of a storyLet the sun shine down on me Let it burn away my troubles Like a warm bubble bath in the winter
Let my happiness come forth In overflowing bounty Come, my joy, come to me
Let me rise from my knees turned ashy From kneeling in sorrow To smile without pain
Let me have just one day Without problems Without worry Without fear Without that constant knot in my stomach
Give me the strength to break away But to keep holding on To find the truth of it all And learn to keep balance of both sides equally Because both sides will be a part of me
Aid me in my struggles to hold on Even though I am being pulled away From the roots My beloved home Of sweet peaches and pecans
Just like a potato Grown In Southern Idaho Torn from the roots And strewn all across the U.S My birthplace Will always be home
