Who Am I

Your thoughts go a long way in determining your future 
Positive thinking will allow you to portray your life in a way that only you can picture
Negativity creates a journey to unhappiness along the way
Banish those thoughts and your life will flourish I have to say
We can all become the person that we dream of being
Decide who you are in your mind, then put it out there for the world to see
Form a picture of the life you wish to create, then follow through
Visualization is a tool you must use to become the ideal you
Even while sleeping your dreams can help you to see what you can become
To be successful with anything you want to achieve, you must make it fun
First and foremost you must believe in yourself for any chance of success
Show that you are confident and try to manage your stress
We all have a lot to offer to make this world a better place
When you truly figure out who you are inside, let it out for society to embrace

Essence Of Romance

Valentine's Day is a special time in just so many ways
It is an occasion to show your gratitude to the one you love by truly seizing the day
A candlelight dinner for my lady I must make before she comes through the door
A beautiful bouquet adorns the table with rose petals spread out on the floor
A bottle of her favorite wine awaits, and her taste buds set to enjoy
Romantic love songs are all queued up and ready to deploy
Upon her arrival home, she will be met with a long embrace and hugs and kisses galore
I will tell her how special she makes me feel and could not ask for anything more
For the evening hours, a couples massage I have arranged
Upon return home, a romantic movie is to be watched, with lots of cuddling to be exchanged
My life would not be complete without her by my side
Thank you for being a part of this magnificent magical carpet ride

Passion

If you could see how other people see you now
Open your heart and soul you know what to do
Look to the sky, grab some rays from the sun 
Use that newfound energy to have some fun
Your smile radiates in a powerful way
You think you are not worthy of love every day
The true you is trapped deep inside
Take a chance and come out for a ride
Your dreams are a real reflection of you
Listen to them, they will show you what to do
Toss aside the torments of the past
Capture the new you and make it last 
I can feel the burning passion in your voice 
Let it out to be shared you have a choice
I need your body close to mine 
Baby, you send shivers down my spine

Lifes Destiny

There are so many options to choose from in life
Do what makes you happy with the least amount of strife
You are the captain who controls the destiny that you wish to create
Make a plan, the rest of your life is at stake
Draw a picture in your mind that would fulfill all your heavenly desires
Take that vision of a wonderful life and make that your reality, and from that you will never tire
Fill it with family and friends and shower them with love
Hold out your hands and reach for the stars high above
Do not let life control your every waking hour
Time to pave your path to success, you have the power
Your vision for life is truly a course you must find
Just remind yourself you are truly unique,a one-of-a-kind

Let The Music Move Me

The beautiful sound of music vibrates throughout the air
A night to have some fun and let down my hair
Can you remember your first dance, was it fast or slow
Did that happen to be the person that your first kiss would bestow
The sounds of the sixties are still popular to this day
You can probably remember the words to most songs, easier than what you had for lunch yesterday
Music can lift your spirits when you are feeling down
Singing along to your favorite songs , will cause your feet to leave the ground
My introduction to music was the good old nursery rhymes
Now some of the words of today's songs if played in the sixties would probably constitute a crime
Music will create lasting memories you will cherish forever more
Turn the volume up and allow those sounds to move you out on the dance floor

Pleasures

My love grows for her by leaps and bounds every day
Life is so much more electric I am happy to say
Every time our eyes meet sparks begin to fly
Stoking the flames of romance new things to try
Holding her in my arms brings a sense of warmth I can't describe
Her guide to love making I must subscribe
Our time together brimming with fun
A walk on the beach soaking up the rays of the sun
We find a place for a picnic on the sand
Hugs and kisses are exchanged life is so grand
Beautiful memories we will create together
We have discovered a lot of ways to bring each other pleasure

Ultimate Love

If you love someone let them know not just by your words but by your actions
The true meaning of love is showing dedication to another person with strong affection
A solid healthy relationship for a couple should be based on intimacy, passion, and commitment
You are partners in your journey through life, bonding together and trying not to harbor any feelings of resentment
Do not let a single day go by without expressing your love for each other
Constant reinforcement of this will bring great joy to your life, just ask your mother
Be a good listener, you do not always have to be right
Always strive to resolve any problems before you go to bed at night
Respect for each other is the main ingredient to a happy fulfilling life
Always be there for each other, especially in times of strife
Think of your time together in terms of eating your favorite pie
Enjoy and savour each piece there is no need to ask why

A Perfect World

Try to imagine a world that would be perfect in so many different ways
Why do anger and frustration seem to rule nearly every single day
Happy people it would seem are at peace and tend to have a longer lifespan
I think love and happiness should be part of everyone's life plan
If we are all fed a constant plate of doom and gloom, we seem to want to share it with all mankind
It manifests a dark cloud that smothers us and permeates the mind
We want all to chart a course that will improve everyone's lot in life
Together we can create an environment that would eliminate all the strife
Hard work is necessary to ensure a successful future for all, to be sure
We owe it to our future generations to design a path that will provide a cure
Let, 's all do our part to make everyone's life fancy and free
May all mankind's future become what they truly want it to be

And The Winner Is

So many people go out of their way to help our fellow human beings
The people who work at our food banks volunteer their time behind the scenes
Our healthcare workers help to keep us alive
The scientists who find cures to diseases that will help us survive
The first responders who respond to drug overdoses or are out there fighting crime 
People who clean up our beaches in their own free time
The courteous drivers who stop to allow you to enter the road
How about the people who just help out in the kitchen without being told 
The adults who devote their time to coaching your children
Or how about the citizens who donate to help fill those charity boxes to the brim
So who is the big winner, I will let you decide
Go out and help someone out,it's a sense of pride

Natures Fury

A loud crack of thunder echoes close by
A flash of lighting darts across the sky
Ocean waves start dancing like in a club
Ominous dark clouds thicken high above 
Smoke begins to rise among the multitude of trees
The air quality is not good I start to wheeze
Sounds of sirens fill the night air
The forest has exploded into flames too much to bear
Like a scene out of a disaster movie, only I am in it
Time to gather up some things ready to split
In my mind, I know everything will turn out fine
One thing I know I will never forget is this moment in time
