world is your oyster
dark cave secret factory
sand grit begets pearl
Here comes my beautiful Ada!
The flower of my youth
Elegant and sure footed
Poised to conquer the world
A gazelle of inestimable beauty
Resilient and full of
Joie de vivre and open heartedness
Ada no one is like you
And no one can ever be like you
You are beautifully and wonderfully made
Rise and lighten up global
Entertainment firmament
For the world is your oyster
If good things come to those who wait full term,
Then why is the early bird getting the worm?
They say not to beat horses already dead,
But will it hurt much to speak ill instead?
The world is a nail if you only have hammers.
If the world is your oyster, is ‘shucks’ in your grammar?
If the world is a stage, do scared oysters stammer?
If not letting a sleeping dog lie is uncouth
How sure are we barking dogs will tell the truth?
If it isn’t about whether we win or lose
Can we skip slow, steady, go fast if we choose?
These darned aphorisms bewilder, confuse
Don’t judge by their cover, walk a mile in their shoes.
Time waits for no one man.
It comes so swiftly and surely.
Be sure to have a plan.
‘Cause when he comes, you’ll see
That you might just be able to
Pass by and run quickly
Away from him and through
A mountain pass. Or maneuver
Through woodland caribou.
The world is your oyster!
Make something of it somewhere
You could live forever.
Remember, time is there.
Waiting. For a day that it
Catches you unaware.
If caught, don’t throw a fit.
With wit, you tried to cheat death
It’s your fault you nitwit.
I'm Chuckling Chiquita and I'm here to say
The world is your oyster so swing and sway
Listen to the music
It's therapeutic
I'm a happy banana dancing life away
It is strong breeze that blows in the 4 directions of the wind and clears the storm of the night before…
It is the sun peaking over the clouds of the storm to illuminate all that it touches upon this earth with its bright cleansing ray…
It is the bird’s sweet song, in the morning after the nightmare of the night before…
It is the feeling you get when the whole world is your oyster, and nothing is impossible…
It is the touch in your heart of a love one’s words, that reminds you there is hope and love still left in this world…
It is the loving look from an adored pet, that reminds us of the unconditional love of all animals…
It is the blessings we cherish from a God of Pure love...
The cages we feel, we build within our own hearts and minds…
Open the door and step through…
Be truly free…
If the world is your oyster...
And the moon is your clam...
And if everythings for the taking...
Then why aren't you my man?
If life were that easy...
And I could pick and choose...
I wouldn't even hesitate...
I would always pick you!
If it were the other way around...
And you had all the fish in the sea...
Would you ponder your options?
Or would you just choose me?
If picking from a menu...
And I were on the list...
You'd go the catch of the day..
Rather than notice I exist!
I wish I could listen to my head...
Rather than ruled by my heart...
As deep down the truth hurts...
You never loved me from the start.
So always think about choices...
And the games you like to play...
While you were chasing glitter...
You let the good one get away.

You tell yourself you can’t
But I know for a fact that you can
Your life is a miracle
You need to understand
You can do what you want
You can live your dreams
This world is your oyster
And I’m on your team
Motivation is easy
Just get up and go
You have the heart of a lion
Just so you know
You want to be famous
Sure you can do it
I got your back
My friend let’s get to it
I know you can do it
Oh you have problems?
Of course you’ll get through it
Let’s visualize results
And get you paid
Trust me my friend
I am self made
There’s only one rule
You have to believe
And everything you want
You shall receive
Oysters, huh?
With this knife, cut the shell all across
Marinade lovingly in soy sauce
Bits of garlic and chives for some heat
Cook very short, and it's time to eat
Slurp down a delicacy delight
Not at all slow, for it doesn't bite
Wash it away with a tender sip
Ambrosia waiting upon my lip
I've prepared another one for you
Your Muscadet to dive, straight into
My kiss, we share the wine and a bite
This time, this joint, this oyster delight
I am your lemon and you are my lime
Perfect the mix, the flavour divine
“When you are on the playing field
you are just a footballer. If you’re
good, it doesn't matter if you [weild]
CP, autism, or whatever [you lure].
You’re just a player. [There’s] a level
playing field. I hope people will see
me and feel inspired to [start to bevel]
with sport and not give up.” Soundly.
Emyle made his debut in Rio 2016,
He coaches at football with West Ham,
He has Cerebral Palsy, is a mild clean,
Says that attitudes have changed, bam.
He says you should pursue dreams,
And not quench them or patronise -
Anybody with CP who sports screams,
“The world is your oyster!” So ionise.
He says that: “Put in the extra work
you need whether it be [in] training,
ball work, fitness or whatever [murk]
and make your dreams true,” aiming.
You
If you only knew
Love
Lord
Thank you for telling me that God
I needed it
I need to hear what I did was wrong
Thank you Lord
A lot of times I don’t realize it God
Until it comes out of me
And I quickly realize
Whether it’s a wrong thought
How I think about things
About world, my world
Everything that goes on around me
The day to day living
I quickly realize that what I thought about something
Some people, some issues, ideas
Are wrong
And you catch me on it
Corrected me
Let me know the right way
The way it should be
And I appreciate it Lord
I appreciate you
For taking the time
To be with me and hone me on things
You are incredible
Whatever that you cannot do
There is nothing that you cannot do God
The world is your oyster
And you are helping me
Hallelujah, thank you Lord
I have absolute trust in you
I know that you can do all things
That you will help me to perfection
Awesome God
Your incredible power
Absolutely mysterious
You amaze me
I don’t know what to say
Of everything I know about you
So far
There is so much to know
So much to learn
Of your ways
Thank you Lord for the journey
You are absolutely amazing
And I am speechless
Feel the burning of the lights
Let your heart race for the millionth time
That rush of unseen adrenaline
Wondering when the show will begin
Velvet curtains and gilded ropes
This could make or break your hopes
Will this night leave you in chains
Or will there be something for you to gain
As the lights beat down on you now
You start to sweat before the final bow
You wonder if they notice the flaws in your performance
Hear the acceptance or despair of the audience
Then you make your way to the stage
The world is your oyster or the world is your cage
Hello, judgment, you don't scare me
And I'd never do anything differently
Then at the end when applause fills my ears
It has appeased and dulled my fears
I endured the desperation of the fight
Now there's one question left, is this a play, or real life?
Do you see it, do you know
What the mirror sees, how you glow?
Your eyes so bright so fascinating
Your smile so wide, illuminating
You love so well, your soul so free
You embrace it all, even me
Your life seems so simple, you make it so
Although there is much I don't see, or even know
You often can wander, amuse yourself
When I would be stricken, and confused - Myself
Things I would never dare, not even consider
You lunge into 'thout care, 'thout even a dither
You laugh when you smile, and smile thence thus
The whole world is your oyster, quick joy your lust
I can see you now, walking, bright-eyed, into life
the grand marquee, the circus, all strife
You don't care if anyone is near, beside you
Don't care for anyone to protect, to hide you
So where will you go, and what will you do
When all others fail, and I in shadow, lover, mute
Do you think of consequence, of failure, like me
Or do you surge on, no care, conscience free
I often wonder, as I wander in my analytical fugue
Do you wonder, feel, love, know, as I do?
The world is your oyster
And you are the pearl
Encased in you soft surroundings
But still able to twirl.
We are held inside this case
To develop and grow
Into the people we want to become
To plant the seeds we want to sow.
So, we take a blank canvas
And place it in front of us
To prepare a masterpiece, a painted picture
Of hope, love, faith, and trust.
The chalk a child so lovingly holds
To make a pretty picture
Soon becomes our paintbrush of life
And takes us on an adventure.
We pearls travel through the ocean
To end up on the other side
We become the people we wish to be
When we journey through our lives.
The chalk runs in cascades around us
Mixing together our trials
Making our world form as one
Letting us travel for miles.
The world is our oyster
Providing us with a home
For us, the pearls, to journey in
Where we can become brilliant and well-known.
