My abiding memory of 2015 is of events that are so sad
With my father’s death, it’s the worst year I’ve ever had

It has been the most challenging year for me
But with amazing support I remain pretty happy

I don’t want to dwell on events that have...

Trinkets and treasures, given away
Something for nothing, what can I say?
Jewelry or gold
Some artwork of old
A gift for someone on my mind today

Shopping, searching, a second hand store
Pirate and pilfer, the bargains galore
A want or a need
Obsession or greed
It all depends what you're looking for

Recycle...

It counts 
it all counts 
the perfect chosen word   
what is spoken and what is heard   
   
interactions and reactions   
the smiles of your eyes   
the feelings felt inside   
oh how they make me melt   
    
I swam...

Love contests in quantities, like numbers,
game of chance for romance by the numbers,

You and you, pick one or two, left first choose,
then right follows through ... awake the numbers,

if I was you, don't let romance wait too,
go ahead, awaken the dead ... numbers,

At last, the...

I'd like to visit you, but well
you never visit me
what happened to that courtesy
called reciprocity?

Water Water everywhere,
We cannot live without it anywhere.
It is a vital resource,
Which is of utmost use.
But we pollute it and make it dirty,
Without thinking about the situation that without it we will
become thirsty.
Keep it clean or you will be sick,
Leading to so many diseases that...

Age counts when a person isn't mature,
when a person is mature age barrier is minor,

If,

From the amount of kindness

Of

Any given act of altruism performed, 

We subtract, 

All selfish motivations that may have prompted 

Someone to carry out that work of

Benevolence, 

Then

The remaining sum, is what is considered to be,

Kindness' sum of pure intention and only that is

Expected to be...

Watch me change the world.
Every second at a time
Freeze. Stop. 
Look at all the frowns.
Look at all the smiles.
Wash away the tears.
Hand the girl with a broken heart
A red rose brighter than her cheeks. 
Drop a ten dollar bill in the guitar
Case and listen to...

I wanted to give you twenty
My mom said, "Too much."
I wanted to give you twenty
Mom said, "Ten is enough."

I wanted to give you twenty
You were finally twelve
I wanted to give you twenty
In my mom's purse I could no longer delve

I wanted to give you twenty
Only...

Good character is way more important to me, 
Than  having good grades.
No one wants to work or be around,
Someone who is dishonest or who is an owner
Of an awful attitude.

If you are a motivated individual,
That means you are one who gives, 
Their best at...

How will you say that you're brave?
Does your soul is mighty to save?
Seven are called to aid
In a quest, they are to face

Annabeth has the brain
Leo's inventions sometimes vain
Piper's charm speak is plain
But the side effect can be seen

Frank could change from
Precious stones, Hazel would...
