Just when you think you've got it in the bag
Wait
things aren't so fab
Once it's a dream come true
The real truth turns you blue
Determination is the key
Unfortunately at times it's best to flee
Grass can be green on the other side it's true
However, these things can become a hellabalu
Stop drop and roll they say
Finish. Done. It's all a play

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Once asleep in the infermery
with all but the family
I wake up to shout 'come to my place with me!'
Once we get there all weak and feable
it's told we're all believable
Trust is found within each of us
once it's broken it turns to dust
Come play with me as I share my things
treats, toys and pets
All bets are off if all who choose to play
forget nice things to say
I don't care what your thoughts about
my presence of think
All I have to say to you all is be joyful and
be good above all

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the moonlight of ealy morning
I stop to think of how things are going
Uneasy I feel right now in future choices
I make with thee and thou
The time of day gives me calm where I
wish to find in most like a beautiful
song
I forge ahead as a farmer does with a
plow
but the roots of earth creep up to give me
foul
I can picture moonlight shadows in my mind
as I hear outside the seagul of the time
I can almost smell the salt of the Sound
which in its bitterness makes me frown
Is that a robin I hear?
That can only mean dawn is near

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Strength is given to those who try
I know
and what is done with it can be
slow
I do believe in the end for us
that the strength in our character is thrust
Done what one can with this gift
it can only be said he or she cannot be miffed

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I write these words down in order to
help me look up from the ground
for when I look down, all I see are cracks
in the pavement
when I walk looking up
I see the world around me in all its
amazement

Life is funny. Sometimes when you seek others opinions there are none. When you'd rather not hear an opinion someone offers one. Either way it's up to me to be a success and putting faith in anyone other than oneself can be detrimental to well being.
