Erica Burke Biography

Dearest pillow that is in my bed,
Why do we seldom meet?
For on you tonight I will rest my head,
And I’ll hope that it’ll be sweet.
...

I want you to...

Hold me when I'm crying,
And even when I'm not,
...

Smiles make the earth go round,
They make it move a little faster,
Smiles pick life up off the ground,
They make memories that will last forever.
...

It's not as if I spend my day just sitting by the phone,
And if you called I very well may pretend I wasn't home.
I know you think you have my heart just hanging by a string,
But you should know that my life is built on more important things.
...

My mother, always a gentle woman,
As far as I have known,
Loves her children, loves herself,
Worked herself to the bone.
