288- Love Under the Moon light

Moon light becomes you
Dancing in the moon light
Moon light serenade
Moon light in Vermon
Beethoven’s Moon Light Sonata

As the day implodes and the stars explode
Showcasing a backdrop that only heaven can create
Appears the moon and its light that through out
The centuries have inspired romance and love
Poets rhyme about it
Authors write about it
Musicians play about it
Singers sing about it
Moon light personifies love
We love under it
We sing
We dance
We laugh
We cry
We dream
No one ever asks why
Although these times are gone
The moon light shines on
For others who need to experience
Its romantic charm
Long after we are gone
***************************************

“How sweet the moon light upon the bank,
here we will sit and let the sounds of music
creep in our ears; soft stillness and the night
become the touches of sweet harmony”
William Shakespeare
The Merchant of Venice

303- Brother, Will You Ever Tell me the truth?

Just tell me the truth
Don’t lie and pretend
Don’t tell me you swear
When you don’t even care
Wisdom comes with age
I’ve turned its pages
If you want me to return
Lesson learned
Be true to yourself
That’s what matters
Take it to heart
Before your life shatters
Lies only destroy
Leaving only a decoy

but a lie hurts forever”

287-She Loves me She loves me Not

When I show up late for a date
And she has to wait
When I kiss her good night
And she turns on the light
When we go out to eat
She’ll never treat
When I don’t hold her hand
Whenever I can
When I Don’t text her back
She goes on the attack
When I overlook her glance
I’m taking a chance
When I talk to my friend
You think it was the end
When I try to tease her
It doesn’t please her
When I said goodbye
She started to cry

Love me or not
A classic love game
Nothing to settle
Until one picks
The last pedal

Waiting to see if my heart is right”

302-I Will Never Surrender my Solitude

Never lonely never lonesome never in a bad mood
Thanks to my solitude
A time to reflect on who I am
A time to know myself
A time to restore myself
A time for independence of thought
From the life I have fought
The older I get I refuse to regret
Solitude is medicine for the old
No prescription necessary I’ve been told

and solitude expresses the glory of being alone”

301-On the Passing of my Brother

Told today my brother passed away
I will never know why or the reason God took you as he did.
We mortals have to answer to God.
Some day we will all wear immortality like you.
You were all alone with no time to say goodby
What is it like to leave reality?
Leaving those you love taking only your memories
Leaving no time for our goodbyes
Only God knows our appointed time
But he tells us to be prepared
I will miss you brother and cherish
the memories we shared for 80 years

And the day of death (better) than
The day of birth” Ecclesiastes 7:1
Love you brother

300- Don’t Change my Style

Why do you want to change my style?

Is the way I dress does not meet your test?
Is the way I pronounce my words a little absorb?
Is the way I dance leave something to chance?
Is it my hair that make people stare?
Does my singing voice leave you no choice?
Or does my swagger cause you to stagger?

Yet that’s my style unique to me
You have the right to disagree
However!
Do not judge my character
For
Inner character is more important
Then outward appearance
****************************************

But judge fairly and righteously” Jn 7:24

299-Who or What in Your Life has Become Your Goliath?

David slew the giant with a slingshot and stone saving the Israelites from the Philistines

Who or what is your Goliath today?
Who or what Goliath in your life do you need to put to rest?

Is it the toxic relationship you find yourself in causing you to sin?
Or those you have chosen to influence your life
Leaving you nothing but strife?
Or the substance you chose to blow up your nose?
Or the smoke you take as soon as you awake?
Or the drink you need to help you succeed?
Or the web site you hide from sight?
Whatever Goliath you face in your life
You have to erase

David took a stance against a stronger enemy than you will ever face
And was victorious
It may not be easy nothing is
Until you place your trust and faith
In the right place

286-I Hate You for loving Me

I hate:
Spinach
My job
School
Smoking
Diets
But do I hate you?

Why do I?

Hate you for exposing me to myself
Because you see better than I see myself

Hate you for the love I never could share
Until you showed me that you cared

Hate you for feeling like this
A feeling I cannot dismiss

Hate you for teaching me to love
Something I needed to discover

Hate you for the pain
My heart cannot explain

Hate you for the…
That gave my heart peace

Hate you for being so clever
I’ll love you forever and ever

The more you love someone the less you hate
The less you hate the more you’ll see that love
Is all we have

298-Solitaire (The Best Game in Town)

The best game in town
When no one’s around
My comfort zone
Needs no sound

Win or lose
I continue to play
No other game
Makes me feel this way

After many an affair
Never lonesome
Never lonely I swear
As long as I am playing
Solitaire

Take it from me my friend
You’re always a winner in the end
Do you remember when
You had all this additional money
To spend?
