Here today, gone tomorrow
Too often comes as a surprise
From the joy to the sorrow
All can happen overnight
What you have that you hold onto
Often can slip out of hand
Be it old or be it brand new
Be it life or be it death
Here today, gone tomorrow
Where have you placed all your eggs
Do you beg, steal, or borrow
Where on earth have you made your bed
Are your possessions of any value
Do you treasure all you have
What would happen if they left you
Would you think there's nothing left
Here today, gone tomorrow
Would that mark the end of it
Does the thought leave you hollow
Or would you make the best of it
Pick yourself up by the boot straps
Do your best to carry on
You're not the first nor the last
When here today, gone tomorrow comes along
Yesterday is an empty vessel
That has sailed; forever lost at sea.
While tomorrow is on it's way
Why not live today now?
Make the best of it. It's a day of renewal.
The sun is shining through marshmallow clouds!
A chorus of birds are singing in the trees!
Flowers of spring are colorfully blooming!
The world is beautifully dressed in green.
When you open up the window of tomorrow,
Today, you'll see the garden of possibilities.
You'll see it blooming before your eyes.K
When you wake up at dawn, shut the door
To yesterday. You'll feel inspired
To take chances over being smothered
By fear of failure, or the unknown
Today, give hostages to fortune,
Regardless of consequences. Start looking
For a blueprint to build the loftiest
Of dreams, and the ladder to climb it.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away
But what if you have the blues
Can an apple save me from heartbreak
Dare mitigate lost love so true
Everyone has a love of laughs
For it is much more fuchsia fun
Going on the heart break path
Harder to enjoy yellow sun
Indigo blues can be beautiful too
Just depends on how you denim deal
Killing the mood with a chord or two
Live music is the magical teal thrill
Memories of joy we can sing
Notes can bring feelings back
Or we can dream of former things
Pink reminiscing of the past
Quiet or loud melodies so proud
Really can elevate a mahogany mood
Sending the crowd into electric shouts
That paints the whole sky neon blue
Under the spell music will gel
Voices and hearts melt the same
We all feel swell and time will tell
X-ray vision displays notes on brain
You can be blue and still choose to make the best of it
Zip in that grin and bear within yet be saved by red kiss.
If we are willing to learn, life is willing to teach
If we are willing to listen, the sounds of life will reach
If we are willing to receive, life has much to give
Let's take what life gives, make the best of it, and live
Sometimes, bad things will happen to good people and all of us
When trials come, be still and please do not rush
We do not always know what life will bring or share
We do know that others care, and will help us bare
There are peaks and valleys; there are some tricks; but there are more treats
Life is sometimes cold and bitter; but more often, it is warm and sweet
There is a little of the bad, sad, and ugly; but life is really mostly good
Life can’t be all good because we don’t always do the things we should
Ignore the promises of the “quick fix”; it takes time for the wounds to heal
Don’t seek the “get rich quickies”; such likes are usually schemes and tricky
So slow it down a notch or two, and get to know the good life
It’s staring us in the face, offering opportunities and grace
Take some time off; take a break; get away; and take a walk along the beach
Take a trip, but not on a plane; relax and take it easy on a slow moving train
Turn off the alarm clock; don’t answer the phone too quickly; smell the colorful roses
Live and love the good life; pick a rose, or maybe two; and share them with someone you love

Quality of time, choose how it’s spent
This moment will never be again
It cannot be bought, borrowed or lent
Just a relived memory then
Cherish it, feel it, look all around
This moment will never be again
Hold details in sight and all of the sound
Time won’t stop, so what you have is here
Cherish it, feel it, look all around
Make the best of it, let go of fear
Take in the moment given to you
Time won’t stop, so what you have is here
Live it fully, accept it as new
Your thoughts and insight will show the way
Take in the moment given to you
Each moment is a gem in the day
Quality of time, choose how it’s spent
Your thoughts and insight will show the way
It cannot be bought, borrowed or lent

The world is filled with good people
But sometimes they just lose their way
As newborns, we all start out the same
With the same joy for life and enthusiastic outlook
THEN we grow up and think to ourselves
“WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!
If I'd realized what the world would be like
I'd have yelled...
“ARE YOU NUTS... PUT ME BACK IN PLEASE!”
Too late, guess I'll just have to make the best of it
So that's the crux of the matter, this whole thing called life
We can choose to grumble about
What we DON'T have, rather than appreciate we DO have
It's the down side of human nature it seems
I choose, and everyone else can
To live life to the fullest with a zest for the simple joys
I hear ya yelling, “GET BACK IN YOUR CAGE!”
No problem, I'm convinced an upbeat and happy attitude
Is what's got me through these eighty-seven years
So when things seem like they can't get any worse
Remember, you can't be put back in
So try to be the best person you can be
And trust me, LIFE WILL BE A BLAST!
Mother
Yes,
You are a spiteful drunk
So what does that make me?
Your *****
Your punk
I can never tell
Is this you talking
Or merely the drink
And tilt your face please
You know your wine breath stinks
Hit out all you want
If you think it still hurt's
That ship's long sailed
Long before my patience failed
As round and round
Groundhog day comes around
And the bottles klink
And into addiction your sanity sinks
And you and I
Both pretend
That this is normal
And we are OK
But Hey
Dad said life is ****
Married to it
So better make the best of it
Because it is not going to change
At least not in our lifetime
The world is filled with good people
But sometimes they just lose their way
As newborns, we all start out the same
With the same joy for life and enthusiastic outlook
THEN we grow up and think to ourselves
“WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!
If I'd realized what the world would be like
I'd have yelled...
“ARE YOU NUTS... PUT ME BACK IN!”
Too late, guess I'll just have to make the best of it
So that's the crux of the matter, this whole thing called life
We can choose to grumble about
What we DON'T have, rather than appreciate we DO have
It's the down side of human nature it seems
I choose, and everyone else can
To live life to the fullest with a zest for the simple joys
I hear ya yelling, “GET BACK IN YOUR CAGE!”
No problem, I'm convinced an upbeat and happy attitude

And trust me, LIFE WILL BE A BLAST!

Never been the smoothest talker
Got to make the best of it before I need a walker
Had a lot or nothing to offer
Wasn't always worth the bother
4 days a week I work with and help doctors
Occasionally seeing Boxers
She got some knockers
Too many peeps are squawkers
I'm flying sky high inside a saucer
Above waters
With otters
Never been an imposter
Thought I had a chance and how quick I lost her
It's all been testing my dignity and honor
Never been a prince, always been a pauper
An endless battle to prosper
In the end it was or wasn't a shocker
The truth locked behind a locker
Or bouncing around like a ball in soccer
People being respectful or a stalker
In a world full of good intentions and slaughter
Some folks heroes and others monsters
Objects of value and sentiment behind a glass case
A giant rat race
Traveling slow or at a fast pace
Winding up in first or last place
Oh in that case
No wonder the sad face
This all left a bad taste
Good and bad days
Glass crutches in the ashtrays
While going in and out of a vast maze
It's much more than kind of
A big deal if you can't make your mind up
Before time's up
That's why the past and history is there to remind us
Sit around or get out and try stuff
That's for you to decide what
Find out you might hate or like much
