The wide-,eyed gaze of childhood
innocence,lost by adolescence
optimism destroyed,by realities of life;
experience lined in majority's grin
likeness reborn in program's kin....

I started off slowly scared to death,
Each new day a disaster,
Then I began to run,
Slowly at first,
Then faster and faster,
And soon found that everybody I had ever met was also running....

Laughter

They say that laughter
is the best medicine.

I say that my mind
would rather be tickled
than my ribs.


Facts of life

If it only takes 3 minutes 
it had better be an egg....

If the facts of life
                                       can stick like glue,
                                      Then your life of facts
                                      can be harmful to you....

He seemed quite shy
did Sammy the Spy
Yet his reticence masked
a mind calculating, sly

When but a wee lad
Sammy uncovered the facts of life --
Picking his folks' bedroom lock 
He gawked, then gasped, 'Oh, my!'...

my valentine’s a cigarette; a coffee and some beer
the late night show; a laugh to go and telling people near
that facts of life are everywhere and not in one whole day
when everyone can spread the love and not in one whole way...

When you marry a sweet gal
   you also marry
   her bossy sister
    and her frantic mother

You think - ha, ha!
   you'll live with your wife
   not with them --

Surprise!
   From these two relatives
   your problems will largely stem...

To some
  reality comes early,
  to others
  it comes late

The lucky
  get a pass,
  where the facts of life
  will wait

With truth
  backed in the corner,
  and fantasy now 
  to reign

No love
  to go asunder,
  no past relived 
  again

She eats to live
  He lives to eat
She'd rather give
  He likes to receive

Some men just cry
  Their wives say they're closed
But when their time comes to die
  They stay calm and composed

One thing for sure
  Never lie to your wife
'Cos if she even suspects
  Wave goodbye to your life...

I guess Fear overpowered Hope and Faith. I guess
that way
is best.That way no one hurts. Just 
right. No
mistakes. No 
mess-ups and 
broken hearts. 
Foolishness, like a bird
sees no cat ready 
to pounce. To kill. 
To make it suffer. 
Well that bird 
had hope and faith, 
but forgot about the simple facts of life....

She thought of herself as an impeccable woman
So often mistaken for a Goddess between peasant
Until the man of her dreams stole her virtue
In the cold water on Lake George he weighs her down
Too often  shadows block our visions
When infatuation is mistaken for love;
Impeccable and careless! With her life
She became the cold facts about love...

The facts of life, that come and go
A cup half full, if that is you
Empty too, might be your kind
Of life and fate, one's state of mind
Like when the snow comes falling down
Some trees stand strong, so bold and white
Some trees will bend beneath the load
Breaking limbs, inviting blight
Fate may come with attitude
Standing strong, or giving up
I'd rather have a half-filled cup...

Love does not discuss sins
Mistakes are facts of life 
No one is infallible 
When a brother makes a mistake 
Be careful not to respond 
With another mistake 
Forgive cause you need 
To to be forgiven 
No perfect beings exist on the planet 
We do not rejoice when a brother falls
We rather run to restore him
Victims as well as perpetrators 
Stand in helpless need of His forgiveness...

God’s Great Surprise

Man on earth must grow and cope.
Encapsulated, restrained 
Living life with dreams and hope
Eternal learning maintained.

Birth and death are facts of life.
Two miracles, diverse lives -
Mortality grasps its strife.
Eternity loves; God thrives.

When earthly death greets its end.
Soaring souls to heavens rise.
Life, like a butterfly, flies forth.
Ascending to God's great surprise.
