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”

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
************************************
“The game of love is just a daisy,
Waiting to see if my heart is right”
Unknown author
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
************************************
“Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone,
and solitude expresses the glory of being alone”
Paul Tillich
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

“A good name is better than precious ointment
And the day of death (better) than
The day of birth” Ecclesiastes 7:1
Love you brother
Say hello to the family
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
****************************************
“Do not judge by appearance
But judge fairly and righteously” Jn 7:24
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

“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will act.” Psalm ( 37:5)
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

“Hatred can be handled by generous love
that can heal a heart”
Shanna Schutte
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?

“We cannot change the cards we are dealt
just how we play the hand”
Randy Pausch
It’s very clear
There are no options here
Options require compromise
That I am willing to take
Some I am willing to make
But take away my music
Would be a mistake.

“Music expresses that which cannot be said
and on which it is impossible to be silent”
Victor Hugo
Don’t talk to me
When you have nothing to say
When you don’t want to play
Don’t talk to me
When you make no sense
Or keep me in suspense
Don’t talk to me
With an alternate motive
With words imploded
Don’t talk to me
With your lies
And expect me to verify
Don’t talk to me
In a condescending voice
And give me no choice
Don’t talk to me
In jest
Just like the rest
Don’t talk to me
In a foreign tongue
Save it for the young
Don’t talk to me
With a bleeping word
There’s nothing I haven’t heard
Don’t talk to me
Like a child
In single file
Don’t talk to me
Like Mr. cupid
I’m not that stupid
The talk I wish to hear
I’ve made quite clear
Only thoughts ready to connect
Out of love and respect
