have a wonderful week everyone
thank you
"if we play our cards right"
you give me everything
what girl could ask for more
if I play my cards right
my love will let you know
I cherish our moments alone
nothing could ever compare
if you play your cards right
such breaths will let me know
we whisper love made for two
tailored only for me and you
if we play our cards right
we will always journey as one

Ladies you say, all the good guys have been taken
I am here to say, you're completely mistaken
A sensitive guy, let me introduce him
He is down to earth and his name is Tim
A sense of humor, a poet as well
Stay away from those guys, that treat you like hell
They say that good guys, always finish last
He'll keep going, when others are half mast
He'll open your doors, make you feel like a Queen
Others won't notice, But with him you'll be seen
So line up ladies, he could be your prize
His smile has sparkle, he has bedroom eyes
He wants forever, not just a one night stand
If you play your cards right, he'll ask for your hand
You can have honest, excitement as well
If you're the right woman, he'll succumb to love's spell
Dedicated to my friend Tim Smith, a true romantic.

If you’re really game
And you’re blind, deaf or lame
Then Disney’s the place you should go
To the head of the line
Each and every time
As long as your handicap shows
Do you want to go free?
You can for you see
Some people are willing to pay
For if they are with you
They too can pass through
And skip the long lines all the day
If you play your cards right
Then pay you they might
$200 per day is the rate
Just go on Craig’s List
I think you’ll get the gist
Not waiting in line is sure great
Disney knows of the scam
But there’d be a logjam
If they stopped and checked each person’s status
Like I said if you’re game
You’ll be glad that you came
And your Disney day just might be gratis

Nothing can be solved,
When you dwell in the past.
To pull up the boulders,
Where dark feelings amass.
Square shoulders, look forward,
Gaze at the light.
Look into the future,
And sit in tonight.
Clasp hands,
With warm comfort that today brings.
Glide gaily to tomorrow,
On the these happy wings.
Hold on to your dreams,
For they are the light.
Your dreams are tomorrow,
If you play your cards right.
So lets sit in tonight,
Clasp hands with delight,
and know in your hand,
The cards are just right.
