through my window each morning
her spirit returns.

Why do we call hurricane winds acts of God
Instead of calling them acts of nature?
Who is to blame for countless acts of fraud
Shall we lay them at the feet of our culture?

We are changed much more by the world around us ~
                                than we change the world around us.

May we be blessed to understand when we’re disheartened
discourage and frustrated
at something new we are trying to learn…
trying our best to do…

That every expert, every champion 
every first place gold medal winner 
before they became an expert, a champion, 
or a first place gold medal winner
was also a beginner too.

Wide-eyed children lying awake
Unable to sleep, Christmas Eve
All the little ones who believe,
Listen for sounds Santa will make
So excited their bellies ache.

Reflections of red and gold leaves in the pond
Mingling with the silver water silently 
Painting nature’s picture of autumn fest

Green fields covered with snowy white
Lulled to sleep for the winter season,

Knowing full well in order to succeed

This specific individual feat requires

3 different apposing skillets

So I went in search of 3 of the very best
coaches in each individual particular
event and discipline

So I got Memo to teach me how to run

Forrest Gump how to swim

And Lance Armstrong to teach me how
to ride a bike

And most of all how to cheat at all 3...
