Premium Member My Simple Prayer

The Lord is  the portion of my inheritance
 and of my cup thou maintainest my lot.
The lines are  fallen unto me in pleasant places
 yea I have a  goodly heritage I will
bless the Lord who has given me counsel
 my reins also  instruct me in the night seasons
I have set the Lord always before me
 because he is at my right hand I shall not be moved
Therfore my heart is glad and my glory rejoiceth
 my flesh shall rest in hope!

Premium MemberDAILY GRATITUDE GENES OF AN OPTIMIST

I am grateful for having the genes of an optimist…
and all the joy they bring…
making every day I wake up 
feel like the very first day of Spring

Premium MemberShe Knows Me

Yes, she knows me, she’s known me from the start
Soulmates throughout eternity, she knows me in her heart

She knows the words my heart would say
And knows the thoughts I think each day

She sees my smile and knows its cause
And feels my love without a pause

She knows the joy that we feel
When once again we’ve topped a hill

And all the love when we embrace
When we have finished a 5K race

She knows I love her for her mind
Unique, intelligent, the creative kind

I promised a life of love and adventure
But that first kiss of her hand was the heart-melding clincher

More than a soft toy

More than a soft toy, 
Is a childhood friend of mine, 
He's been here for ten years, 
Maybe even eleven, 
Why do I feel such connection, 
Towards you? 

You've been in most of my memories, 
Grown beside me, 
Is that the reason why? 

When i sang a song for the first time, 
Or when you consoled me in the darkest nights, 
Is it because, i shared my everything with you, 
Even my childhood and heart? 

Oh my dear lovely jaguar,
I still remember when I hugged you while sleeping,
On the day I got you when I was five,
I just want you to know,
I still do this now.

You're my snuggling partner,
My first friend,
And my whole childhood,
My dear friend.

Premium MemberYour ability

I talked to you tonight 
And even over the phone 
You force it all to disappear 
And it becomes us all alone 

No other people or problems 
Nothing but us exist then
Floating on a cloud with you 
Earth feels as if its heaven 

How is it you're able to do this 
To me it's fully a mystery 
There's nothing but your love 
In life that can sustain me

Happiness

When your happy nothing stops you from doing anything
When your sad a glimpse of darkness comes over you like a cloud
Then you pick yourself up and the darkness subsides 
And the sun shines with a glimmer of hope

Hi May

Hi January
I miss you
ah, not you
but January. I miss May,
who smiled in the flower field
to the strains of the melancholic song
that played in my head at that time.

Hi May, let's go together again to January
so I can see you again
spinning merrily
among those swings.

Hello May
You will sit again by the North Sea
catching the tide
as I loved it.

And May,
walk again in the dim lights of the old city
with your steps in those white shoes
and I with the night drizzle,
admiring you then.

And now the drizzle is falling
Missing you again
In the alternating drizzle

Premium MemberInside a Cloud

Inside a cloud the lining shines with hope,
on paths that slip and slope, we grip on tight
to rope made from our inner strength to cope,
we always find a way in life to fight.

The road to happiness is felt within,
as soon as we begin to realize,
the win exists inside a smile or grin,
as letting go is worth the compromise.

The stresses and the strains will fade away,
good attitude today can change tomorrow,
allay your fear, removing all the grey,
alleviating grief and painful sorrow.

With positivity you’ll lead instead,
when little problems build inside your head.

Best is to be

Just do your best,
Ignore the rest,
Aim high,
You shall fly,
Be best pals,
Dudes and gals,
Don't roll eyes,
Be a surprise,
You best is to be,
Aim high, you shall see!

JUST RIGHT, In Two Parts

College Before Family, 1982
My pen just writes
My dog just bites
My wife just fights
And I just might
Decide everything’s alright.

Empty Nest, 2025
Life didn’t quite yield that plight
Because the pen barely writes
The pups play fight
The kids had height
Were polite
And actually bright
The wife’s a delight
Most days and nights
My life might be trite,
And I’m good with this slight rewrite.

LOVE FORGIVE

Love forgive and let go of all the negative feelings, they weight on life and give us no rest. 
Love forgive, and feel good, do not carry heavy thoughts in your heart for they are no good.  
Love forgive, let it go, do not let it keep you in a bad mood. 
Love forgive and open up your heart, let it heal and make you feel well. 
Love forgive and do it for you, let peace and joy grow and make the day feel swell. 
Love forgive, let love grow, and let the bad go and never grow. 
Love forgive for love is the key to all your joy and sweet memories. 
Love you forever my love, may your day be as lovely as you are my sweet. 
Lifting prayer to God, today and always.

Premium MemberWhat My Ego Said To Me

“You must stop this ruling of me,
Please let me go, I must be free.”
Smiling, Ego said mockingly,
“It’s you who chooses what you’ll be.

It’s quite simple for all to see,
All my power doth come from thee.
In myself, that’s where I invest.
I have no say in your request.

You’re free to go, to rule your own ship,
Give to me the old pink slip.
Find the passion that’s within you.
Do whatever you love to do.

Make life an adventure, a quest.
Earn an “A” on life’s biggest test,
Live everyday as if your last,
Show your real self, take off the mask.”

Everything

Powdered doughnuts, screaming children,
Noisy autos and a silly red hen,
All the things everywhere, that, this, and then.
A week or a day, a minute, and an hour,
Everything all the time, candy that is sour.

The moon and stars and universe too,
All things everywhere, everything for you.
Big trucks, toy cars, tall buildings in our view,
Twilight, baseball, even morning dew.

Mountain tops, puppy dogs, yummy ice cream floats,
Bicycles, lollipops, Cutesy-colored post-it notes,
All things everywhere, everything I want for you.

Premium MemberAnimated Joy Under Philtre Fountain


Flows fountain of delight,
enwraps the parched spirit.
Drink glee philtre sated,
leap dazed with fulfillment.
        Charm dreams show
        slow motion
        scenes you know
        owe your joy
        when stars glow.

Premium MemberTwo Shall Become One

Your soul has shown me through your heart,
A loving, caring and kind part.
And from your mind it says to me,
Intellect and wisdom reside in thee.

And to your soul I do relate,
Experiencing oneness with my soulmate.
For no other presence has more blessed my life,
As having you as my eternal wife.

Two shall be one throughout eternity,
Sharing their love as it was meant to be.
In the light of love an adventure we’ll share,
With faith in our creator, we’ll never despair.

Life is for living, it’s not a test,
Just live in the present and do our best.
Don’t judge others, let them be who they are,
Let the spirit inside us be our guiding star.

We’ll live our life as one of the few,
By living life as we’re meant to do.
To love one another and always be true,
For truly we are one from what used to be two.
