Premium Member Heavenly

I was born in a town 
filled with angels
where promises of gold
outweigh chances to grow old
and there are stars
in the hills and pavement


Premium Member Life's Ups and Downs

Life is filled with ups and downs But smiles usually outweigh the frowns There will be a plus Forget all the fuss Think happy and wear a pretty gown

Living the Life

The thoughts,
Outweigh the actions.
Broken down,
Becoming fractions
of what they are
But i must put on the facade,
Chancing being betrayed.
Dancing in a freak show

The world is restless, it's lost its way Too many challenges in life's sweet ballet Each day more strife Each day through live But the joys of living far outweigh

Thousand

If I were to love
One thousand lovers
My love for 
Nine hundred and ninety nine others
Could never outweigh
My love for you
For in a world full of stars
My moon shone the brightest


New Beginning

Today, I realized that I have been down on myself,
never stopping to give credit for the good things that I have done?
These good things far outweigh the bad!
Today, together, let us appreciate ourselves!

To Be Free

Every broken beat of my pulsating heart that beats within, desires noting more than the
aspirations of sovereignty, the freedom to be amongst the stars could never outweigh the
freedom from one’s own soul.

Sometimes

Sometimes the words cannot outweigh the anchor latching my lips together.

Sometimes my eyes go stark, and they begin to peel over.

Sometimes my shoulders sink into my spine.

Sometimes I’m so far away my senses dull.

Premium Member The Sex of Art

I think to draw, to paint, to write
is like copulation – for the artist
the need and desire
far outweigh any risks;

to control art
is to fail
as an artist – 
as to be a
predictable lover
is to be a complete
bore in bed....

Premium Member A BEAUTIFUL DAY

May we be blessed to understand a beautiful day
is not necessarily a day when everything is perfect…

Sometimes things within a day make us happy
Sometimes they make us sad…

What makes a day a beautiful day is:
when the good things outweigh the bad.

Muse

Today, I realize that I have been down on myself,
never stopping to take credit for the good that I have done.
These good things, I am guilty of, far outweigh the bad
Today! Together! With you! We will appreciate Ourselves
We will go forward and never again look back!

Mother

Bouquet in mansion
Furnish by the most priceless
Can't outweigh her love

Agrarian harvest
And all the nature's beauty  
Can't surpass her heart

She's her children's spouse
A companion to her hobby
...Her caring tranquil

Right way sure her way
Her prayer is excellence
...Can't banish such soul.

Miracles

I don't believe in miracles
but I see them every day - 

A father getting sober,
someone being saved

They'll live to tell their story,
while others meet their fate

I don't believe in miracles,
but I see them every day - 

One's life shouldn't outweigh several,
everyone deserves to be saved

Premium Member Such Christmassy News

My husband’s post-concussion work injury barely improved this past year. Dizziness and headaches still plague him. No solution have I found for my own rare conditions. My son nearly got divorced. My dear daughter got breast cancer and continues with treatments even now. May good outweigh the bad in '24.

Covid Christmas Wishes

Wishing you contentment and peace this holiday.
Safety and health for all, I pray.
Some festive foods and display,
Gifts to receive and give away.

May this much enjoyment,
Outweigh concerns of the moment,
More gay times merely a postponement,
'Til communal singing and music are again a component.

Lost

He wore a mask that smiled all day
With eyes of glass and lips of stone.
His longing heart could not outweigh
The mask he wore that smiled all day.


And death meant peace and would allay,
The endless hours he lived -- alone.
He wore a mask that smiled all day,
With eyes of glass and lips of stone.

Premium Member Opportunity Economics

               There will always be

                  RICH and POOR

               The rich outrun the poor

             The poor outnumber the rich

           The MIDDLE outweigh the sides

     Free people work hard when opportunity

       Offers a chance to move up and down

                The Ladder of Prosperity.

Eat

EAT 

Munch
Crunch
Gobble
Swallow

Fill your mouth
Pile it in 
Taste the flavour
Feed the hunger 

Fill your belly
Add some weight
Worry not 
The good effects 
Might outweigh the sins

Food must be eaten 
For mouths were made to bite and savour
One day I may become thin
Till then ill feast and act like a king 
No one should ever call us thin

When hues of grey in disarray 
Splash and spray hefty shades astray, 
Diffuse the sun ray of the day, 
Divert happy pursuits away… 
One can’t but ponder in dismay - 
Is a dark destiny at play?! 
Hey, shades of grey aren’t long to stay, 
The light palettes of bright outweigh. 
Might sound like a passé cliche, 
But hope dies last - or so they say.

Rescue the love that waits within
Each heart stays aglow
Snow and winter's frost will fade
Out, out with procrastination
Leave behind reservation
Utopia land is not for the timid
Talk to the mirror in your mind
It's initiation time
Only you can claim and frame resolutions
Never let them outweigh strength at your command
Simplicity and honesty are as signature keys.

Premium Member Daylight Savings Time

This Sunday morning, an hour of our time was lost. However, benefits heavily outweigh the cost. An hour later comes the darkness of the night. That way, we use less electricity for light. We have another hour of sunlight in our day. It's more convenient for us if we work or play. We will get that hour back in the fall. An extra hour of sleep will be great for us all.

The Weight of Joy

If my joy could be weighed
And all my thanksgivings placed on a scale
Than the world could see
That faith never fails

Its number would outweigh the sand of the seas
Because the hand of God is upon me
Faith is like a stream that overflows
It never darkens are swells as melting snow

Eyes see things
Vision bring things
Into manifestation
And this is God's affirmation

That All Is Well.....

Life Or Death

Does your good 
  outweigh the bad

Is the balance 
  happy or sad

Is your intention
  right or wrong

Does your prayer
  turn into song

Does the blame
  weigh down your heart

Can your light
  outshine the dark

Can the joy
  exceed the pain

Does one word
  your soul reclaim

Will His grace
  forgive your sins

Will new life or death
  —begin
