"Nothing is impossible, the word itself says, "I'm possible!" ~ Audrey Hepburn
Two powerful words both very shockable.
"You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore." ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus opened wide the door,
to see and hear the ocean roar.
"Life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent of how I react to it." ~ Charles Swindoll
In life I will not quit,
for God gave me the wit.
"If the wind will not serve, take the oars" ~ Latin Proverb
Will the wind open the doors?
Maybe showing sea dinosaurs.
"Fall seven times and stand up eight" ~ old proverb
What will be my fate?
Getting back up will make me great.
Each one here has a different meaning,
some from life and some from dreaming.
The sun is warm;
The air is cold.
I didn’t care
‘Til I got old.
And now, although
Today it’s spring,
I miss the scarf
I didn’t bring.
Yet I’ll stay out
And soak some rays,
Remembering
My younger days
When cold concerned me
Not a whit,
‘Cause on a bench
I’d never sit.
An owl is a curious bird
Whose hooting you've probably heard.
It's deemed to be wise
Has perfect disguise
And eyes of a size quite absurd.

To whit
To woe
To naught
I go
And end
The inbetween
Live forever
In this dream
But now its too hot
To sleep in the mornings
So I lay in bed
Try and heal this warning
That someday ill come up on
Something I cant talk my way out of
The deputy drinks
Scotch from a bottle-
with painted nails
and a giggle
