Simply Laurie

Not too complicated and quite easy to please.
He’s so calm and quiet, I’m not quite sure if he breaths…
He’s simply… Laurie.

A smirk, a look, a half smile or a nod.
Does he really care?
ABSOLUTELY!  He’s totally aware…
He’s just being, quiet and listening…..Laurie.

When life gets all crazy and nothing makes any sense.
I’m incensed, tensed, and the walls are closing in like a fence…

He just glances that so calm, “Oh, don’t worry” ….Laurie.

While you were out, Duke scored 3 goals, Allyn perfected another school score, and

Taylor cut open his eyebrow again, we’re back at the hospital to make a mend.

The house is flooding, the toilet it broke, this time seriously it’s really no joke!
And the dog is sick, my tire is flat, and I can’t find the frickin cat….

“No problem…” he’d say, I will be back and we can fix all that crap.

He’s being, that secure and sensible….. Laurie.

The party is rolling, the music is on, people are buzzing from the amazing dance song.
He’s there leaning against the bar, watching, grey goosing, eyes wandering quite far.
He’s being that, so very cool…Laurie.

I loved him from the moment I saw him, less the big hair do, and I still do.
He hasn’t changed, he would be happy if everything would stay the same.
He’s the unchangeable….. Laurie.

He’s the Mayor to all that are close to him, he’s The King to all of us, our home, our lives, our loves, our everything.
But to me… he’s simply… Laurie
