May the forest be with you
May you remember the sail ship
white wake behind, seabirds about
When the bedrock begins to slip
When life's purpose is in doubt
May you remember every friend
When enemies surround
When only on few can you depend
And harshness is the only sound.
**(Chorus)**
May the mountains come in waves
That lift you up from under.
like desert rain that saves.
Like a cavalry's thunder.
When

Death of Morale
True, I do practice the act of introversion quite a bit,
But why should I be blamed? To what am I to admit
When I am not the transgressor in question?
I am not typically one to act in aggression,
Towards others in outward ways, I should say,
For, only in privacy, do I sometimes get irate,
Never to those who

Emotional Whiplash
One day, Brad felt overwhelmingly sad
The next day Brad was raging mad
Following this day, Brad was feeling glad
This was the best day that Brad had had
One day, Suzy had been crying all day long
The next day Suzy was cheerily singing a song
Following this day, Suzy wasn't feeling so strong
Suzy was feeling like she didn't belong
One

Award Checks Fear
Morale-Boosting Award
Moves an artist forward,
Farewell to The Backward,
His perception as ‘Ward’
A new image of ‘Lord’
Nice creations onward…
Fear-Checking Award
Is a commanded reward,
Expecting it a horde
Like a protective sword…
A spirit is lifted,
Its owner proved gifted,
Future efforts trusted;
More jobs self-entrusted…
For Fame name drafted:
A New Stem is grafted.

Only Dreams Imagination
I'm, wishing, hoping:
That you Dream
Your Dream of Dreams
Only you can dream.
One's that take you;
To places
Only dreams can take you.
I wish for you;
Your imagination
Takes you far away.
To places that;
Imaginations
Can only take you to.
Your places, in dreams:
You sing; Imaginations Dream
Come true for you.
I'm wishing, I'm hoping;
Your Dreams Imagination
Only Dreams ...
The Best For You!

Paradoxes
Whomever you’ve detained
You’ve retained,
Whatever you’ve maintained
Equally sustained,
The feeling you repressed
You also suppressed;
The person you depressed
You haven’t at all impressed.
One is with another already in battle
When brought into play one’s mettle;
There will still be new protesting “moos” to settle,
When you’ve started grazing long unfed cattle.
Any time your

White House Morale and Trump
White House Morale and Trump
Faces of White House staff have a scowl,
While Trump thinks he is a wise old owl;
Biggest fear,
Pain in rear,
Then should give up and throw in towel.
Jim Horn
Wonder which church will Trump be going
to on Easter Sunday.
Jesus from death His Father had raised,
We sing songs about and Him praised;
Miracle

Increase My Morale
Increase My Morale
When they will want to increase my morale,
They should be willing to go the extra mile,
And when dared,
Do be prepared;
Feel like they are a close friend and my pal.

Morale Boost
Mrs. Claus has a job the night
When Santa soars out of her sight:
For the elves she strips
With broad, swaying hips;
Christmas Day elves hum from delight.
