My Best Friend Too

All I want is a great big hug
and for us to nap on the middle of the rug.
Or maybe you can take me for a ride in the car
I feel the wind on my face, go faster go far.
Or a walk in the park where we can be together
to see, hear and bark in the all different weather.
Or maybe you could give me a great big smile
and say its ok, I’ve made a mess and left a pile.
Or a long day of playing, in the afternoon sun
then in for the night, it’s been so much fun.
Or someone to love, who will love me true
 and I have you, My Best Friend Too.

Within Myself

We begin life learning character and self-worth
We venture inside and out self-esteem to understand
We then journey into life building on that sense of meaning
  
I will live my life …

Having learned ways down different paths
Having found what my life has to give and receive
Having resolved the choice of who and what I’ve become

Having …

Seen what is real now today and tomorrow
Seen where life can take me with time and growth     
Seen the results of my decisions open the right doors widely  

Seen …

Today as the time and place I will begin a new 
Today as the when to what and who I will be tomorrow
Today here and now as the where I will stand tall and proud

Today …

I stand here and look at the mirror image of me
I will look deep inside the mirror image of me and see
I move on looking through the mirror image having seen inside

Myself …

I will live my life… Having… Seen… Today… Myself…
