When I was a girl it seemed time took much longer,
To pass by and let me be older not younger.
It seemed all the good things were far in the future,
And I feared in the waiting I'd slip into a stupor.
I was too young for most things and too old for the rest.
I was stuck in the middle, an unwanted guest,
Searching in vain for the place I belonged,
Awaiting my prince to come sing me his song;
Sweep me up in his arms and then whisk me away,
To a life filled with gladness as fairy tales say;
But life is no fairy tale, it's business at hand.
If you want to survive then get with the plan.
We have to grow up, take the bull by the horns,
For life's what you make it, you have been forewarned.
My life s much better in some ways it seems,
Though I must admit it's not like my dreams.
I've learned from experience when less than enchanted,
I'm happier when trying to bloom where I'm planted.
Take the bull by the horns,
Or the bull will take you.
Stand up and holler,
A house prisoner is not you!
There is no jailer at your front
door.
Though terms tossed about,
makes you think this is truth
to the core!
Want to change things does require
courage and action.
So stop our endless sniveling to gain
satisfaction.
Warriors win wars in battles,
not so easily fought.
Having been in so many,wins
beat losses, so I have been
wonderfully taught.
Today is your day, the trumpet
for braveness calls.
Get outdoors in God's creation,
His world has no guards nor fear
laden walls.

COMMON opposites.
How do you seem so calm when I rage?
How do I shake and hide when you take to the stage?
Why do you shine so bright when I run and hide?
Why do I stand behind when you stand by my side?
We love each other absolutely,
Utterly and completely.
We clicked from the start,
Nothing in common but the heart.
How do you smile so confidently and say ‘hi’?
Why do I shy away or just say ‘bye’.
You take the bull by the horns, I stand on the fence.
Your eyes are so loving and free yet mine are intense.
I kiss your cheek as you sleep,
The love we have is so deep.
I wonder what you see in me?
All I ever do is want to flee.
The truth is opposites attract that’s our glue.
They said we wouldn’t work, but we knew.
Roses are red but sometime they are white.
That’s why I can’t let you out of my sight.

Qué será, será; whatever will be, will be.
This proverb or expression many know.
It means if you are living with regrets,
for heaven’s sake, just let those feelings go.
There’s no use crying over milk that’s spilled.
(that’s another goodie for what I mean).
Take the bull by the horns and Giddy up!
Be an adult. You are not still thirteen.
Qué será, será. Whatever will be will be.
This also means fate is a giant thing.
So important is this saying there’s a song
for it, which Doris Day was first to sing.
How interesting the date the song was published.
It was my birth year, nineteen-fifty-five.
Maybe that’s why I find it appealing.
Decades later, the song and I both thrive.
A fatalist am I, so I believe
quite strongly there are things we can’t control.
For all the good we do, bad still can happen.
You’re on a roll; next day you’re in a hole.
Chin up; keep on going long as you can.
Struck down? Just smile and sing your cares away.
With qué será and whatever will be, will be
great sayings just keep coming into play!
