Here she is again
Doing the best she can
to make sense of everything
going back and forth
second guessing
what she had said and done
Here she is again
giving others a chance
doing the best she can
with what she has
Here she stands
on the ragged edge
that she knows so well
doing the best she can
to make ends meet
to create something
out of nothing
make treasures out of trash
second hand things
get a second chance
Here she is again
doing the best she can
to understand what’s being said
to read lips
and in between the lines
without making a fool
misunderstanding
trampling feelings
coming across all wrong
Here she is again
dancing all alone
in the kitchen
of her studio
with the music blasting
doing the best she can
to sing along
carry the tune
like she was taught to do
Here she still is
doing the best she can
to have enough faith
enough strength
a little more compassion
patience and wisdom
to just keep on
doing the best she can
