Happy Birthday Mom I miss you so much.
You are still in my heart, so we are never out of touch.
I can still hear your voice and see your sweet smile.
They say life is short, so maybe I’ll see you in a little while.
You are constantly in my thoughts and I am doing just fine.
It’s October the 8th so I thought I would drop you a quick line.
How’s my baby brother, is he keeping you on your toes?
How about those twins, I’m really curious to know?
I have doubled my years since you’ve left and gone home.
My family is close by so I am never alone
Thank you so much for giving me life
I thank God everyday that you were my father’s wife.
The ungrateful Birthday gal
1.Tap, tap, tap, I watch the wax melt from my birthday candle.
Decorations, people, music and cake;
Cynthia helped with the food, and Elcilia to bake.
I wore a knee-length dress in your favorite color, purple.
2.Something strange happened this year,
Like the story of the tortoise winning the race with the hare.
For once, I was excited for the day of my birth.
I thought it was because I was in ecstacy like a cancer patient who no longer needed meds.
3. Sadly, with my gastritis acting up and my voice strained, I have realized
It was all because you were here with me.
Am I a terrible dancer? Can't help stepping on your toes; we laugh.
Then again, I know I should be elated to have a shoulder to lean on,
But having my happiness carved out from another's chest is the last thing I would want.
It would kill me if you were gone.
4.I blow out my candles, smiling ear to ear,
Not wishing that you'll be there next year.
Rather, I would be happy then,
Better of thinking you weren't heaven sent.
5. 'Cause it's all fun and games,
Hair blowing against my heated heart, while lying on your chest.
I won't grow heart bones until you forget my name.
I drank a cup or four of chamomile tea to aid digestion.
Call me ungrateful or selfish,
But after this party, you have to leave.
Never slap a Rattlesnake,
He'll bite you in the Asp.
Grab it behind the head,
And use a gentle grasp.
Never feed a Grizzly Cub,
Cause Mama Bear is near.
She'll easily run you down,
And feed upon your rear.
Never swim with Sharks,
If you've got a bloody nose.
It'll take a healthy bite,
And nibble on your toes.
Never pull a Tiger's tail,
It'll leave a lasting trace.
He'll pounce upon your chest,
And severely claw your face.
Never kick an Elephant,
You'll wish that you were dead.
He'll break up all your bones,
And sit down on your head.
Never smack a Hornet's nest,
With a really hefty stick.
To keep from being stung,
You'd best be very quick.
Never charge a Rhino,
It will go on the attack.
The last thing that you'll feel,
Is a horn go through your back.
Never marry someone Crazy,
It'll put you to the test.
It's the worst thing you can do,
And more painful than the rest.
HARD HEART
THIS IS WHAT WE OFTEN DO
WHEN TIME IS UP OR THINGS
LOOK BLEAK-
WE- PRAY PRAY PRAY
WHEN ALL IS WELL AND
THINGS SEEM FINE THE CREATOR
DOES NOT COME TO MIND
SO WE - PLAY PLAY PLAY.
ADULTS WHO PLAY
THOSE CHILDISH GAMES
TOO MEAN TO CARE-
TOO HARD TO FEEL
ARE -WEAK WEAK WEAK
OH OH OH OH
FOR- SHAME SHAME SHAME
EVEN AT THEIR NEIGHBOR
EYE CONTACT IS NOT MADE -
TO THE CHILDREN ON THE STREET
EVEN TO THEM YOU CANNOT-
SPEAK-SPEAK SPEAK
IN THE END YOU'LL -
HAVE NO FRIEND
YOUR PRESENCE-
PRESENTS A BAD OMEN
WHAT A- SIN SIN SIN
GET ON YOUR TOES AND
OFF THE HIGH HORSE
CHANGE YOUR SWING
SEE WHAT JOYS YOUR
LIFE CAN BRING.LET'S
SAY-AMEN AMEN AMEN !
Sassy and Genghis they now get along
Sassy liked Kublai but he is now gone
Old Genghis still a little grouch
he growls at Sassy if she joins him on the couch
Sassy will at times kiss him and sniff his little face
when he is behind her sneaking a sniff takes place
Under the desk Genghis loves to hide and stay
when she crawls to greet him he growls her away
If on the bed Genghis cautious for Sassy rolls
he will yap at her and even hide behind pillows
Treat time Sassy gobbles hers right away
Genghis takes his time teasing her all day
Sassy lies down in front of him whimpering and whines
Genghis growls and wags his tail taking his sweet time
Though Genghis is little and Sassy twice as big
she never angers toward him is playful instead
She will steal his treat right under his nose
when playing keep away stay on your toes
They love barking together at anything in sight
they are more amusing than causing a fright.
Sometimes Sassy will sleep beside him
and Genghis is okay.
Without our sweet Sassy
Genghis would be lonely every day.
I’m happy that you’ve found someone new
And that you learned not to walk on your toes
I’m glad that I can finally see you smile
And start to laugh uncontrolled
I’m sure you’re happy
I’m sure you feel free
And i can’t express how grateful I am
That the one by your side isn’t me
At one point we might’ve been a dream
We called ourselves friendship goals
But now I realize that we were just like our jeans
Bloodstained and filled with holes
When I walk by you in the hall
And you catch my eye with your hair
I no longer can hate you
And I no longer care.
I gave you everything
And received nothing in return
So here I am, years later
With my lesson learned
I don’t need to pray
For people who understand
I’m not scared to see you
I don’t wring my hands
When you first left
I sat all alone
No one beside me
No place to call home
You took everything
My friends, my love, my trust
You shattered all my morals
And crushed the pieces into dust
But then, with you gone
I started to climb
Brick by brick i built myself up
And all it took was some time
All it took was the rest of the year
To start some friendships anew
Then, the next year, i never sat alone
And it felt like the hard times were through.
As the years started to pass
You seldom crossed my mind
now I pass you every day
but there’s no urge to run and hide
I don’t know what to do when we meet
Because no part of me remains bitter
I’ve let go of the anger that i held close
After you treated my heart like litter
You never smile when I see you
I never frown when i meet your eyes.
It seems to me that our story is over
We meant it when we said goodbye.
Perhaps with stars in your joyful eyes my friend
You will recall the time like rainbow as you would
Hold your baby in your thrilled arms to blend
Your joy with the moon as gloriously it stood
In your mind’s sky close to the trees of sandalwood
As you did your best to shape out a diamond
Moody edges would curve and run and flee
Your flames at times would get dampened
Still you would love on your toes and knee
The child swinging in her rosy growth spree
Unconditional love you tried to provide her
She grew like a lovely bubbling brook
Stormy clouds though made you anxious for answer
You felt depressed as clouds would sit on her gray look
Counted when a breeze would come and the branches shook
The key lies in the heredity and environment
Within your means you do your best to light the lamp
Tempest and quake you had to confront
Sometimes stars and sometimes gloom in your camp
Will she be a scientist or will walk a ramp
On a critical day you find the ship is built
To your wonder and joy the ship has sailed
You don't know if it sails smooth or it will tilt
You now spend your void days mostly veiled
Photos of parenting in what you have inhaled and exhaled

How much is an idea worth -
enough to make you poor?
What if you found the ultimate
that shook you to your core?
Suppose it took a thing you hate
like struggling with planks,
and sneakily turned it to fun,
would you pass and say, no thanks?
Ingenious, this board called Stealth,
paired with an app that’s on your phone;
Your elbows help you navigate;
it’s hands-free, in the planking zone.
You’ve got to stay up on your toes,
Or on your knees at first.
And most folks cannot stomach it
except in shortened bursts.
You use the board to fly through space
or shoot an asteroid,
or roll a marble through a maze
(That’s one I’ve not enjoyed).
The goal of Stealth: make you forget
that you are working out,
and focus on the game at hand
like finding the best route.
It seems we humans can do much
distracted from our pain,
and some of us will even pay
to play and play again.
----------
Stealth Core is a planking board that rests on a ball that allows it to rotate in all directions. You run a game app on your phone and place it on the board, and you use your elbows and arms to move left or right, up or down, by twisting/tilting the board, and as a result, the phone. The phone detects the movement and changes what's on the screen, moves the cursor, or the ball, or the scene. It is really quite clever! It is also devilishly difficult if you're not accustomed to ab workouts.
do not simply dawdle and diddle
for life may pass as a twinkle
hardly any time to drag and dawdle
in life, joy and sorrow may mix and mingle
before your powers diminish and dwindle,
enjoy it wilful as a child cheerily toying with shingles
for a change, play on the flute or fiddle
and on your toes, twirl and twiddle
or go for a walk with your funny, furry poodle
or write a peaceful placid idyll,
could even be a distrait doodle
life that is a tricky and ticklish riddle
is never a puddle for you to muddle
but is to clasp, caress and cuddle
let it ring with a jangle or jingle
even when you are sickeningly single
smile, showing your dented dimple
as stars in the sky wink, blink and twinkle

Give me some dancing shoes
Move out of my jazzy red suede blues
Let me whirl my bipolar absolute truth
Who is that? Is that dead husband of Ruth?
Give me my high heels, silver, sassy and large
I’ll take a burger with fries; make it a charge.
If I step on your toes, be sure to squeal.
That way I will know that you are delightfully real.
Give me some space. Bring me my fur coat.
Give me whirling room, you old lecherous goat!
I need to howl and I need to swing.
This life could really bring me some absolute zing.
Giving me love will just break your unhappy heart.
What else to say? Where could this old heartbreaker start?
Stay out of my way, you cannot control or cage me.
I’m dancing my truth, single with jazz, here I’ll be.
