Sanity Oh Sanity!
Sanity oh sanity at times you hide so well.
Without your ever presence it’s a living hell.
Each day each I meet poses a painful crisis.
Without you they’re left to their own devises.
I try to trust only myself so I can’t be hurt.
With watchful eye I attempt to always be alert.
Health, wealth and youth have all taken leave.
I need you now more than I could ever believe.
Sanity oh sanity you’re my driving force…
Without you at my side I have no recourse.

Mountains Speak
I peer at mountains and they speak to me.
They claim dominion over all that they see.
They serve as foundation and nectar for trees
That in turn are havens for birds and bees.
Then nourishing fauna and gorgeous flowers
Can offer a creation with limitless powers.
On their walls forests of foliage are amassed
Giving precious oxygen consumed just as fast.
More than ever mountains have something to say,
I hear them screaming,
"Treat us better or dearly pay."

Diet Coke
I'm a diet coke addict and not ashamed of my plight.
I must admit I guzzle each and every morning, noon and night.
Whether via bottle, can or glass I really don't care
As my taste buds are hypnotized by this enchanting fare.
As for my daily intake I have no idea of the amount.
I'm too busy chugging this elegant elixir to bother with a count.
Though one word of caution to those who imbibe regular coke:
Best you switch to delightful diet and not become one of those heavy folk.

A Sad World
The world is ruled by law and in a way that's so very sad.
It's not a matter of what's right or wrong or good or bad.
Facts depend on points-of-view and truth holds little sway.
Money and power are the arbiters of morality today.
Each one who still believes that what's good will win out,
Should receive praise and respect, but there's little doubt
That each day that bygone world becomes less the rule,
As each day, so sadly, each of these appears more the fool.

A Smile
A smile brightens a darkened room.
A smile converts an air of gloom.
A smile is the gate to a happy mind.
A smile is a treasure all must find.
A smile is so needed at this time of strife.
A smile means we’re in charge of life.
A smile lost is an opportunity missed.
A smile is an opportunity to never resist.
A smile spreads its rays like sun above.
A smile sends joy and engenders love.
A smile costs nothing but has limitless worth.
A smile is as valuable as anything on earth.

Thirty Years
IT'S THIRTY YEARS THAT I'VE SLAVED.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT I'VE SAVED
I BOUGHT SOME STOCKS THEY SAID WERE STARS.
NOW BANKS OWN MY HOUSE AND BOTH USED CARS.
THE KIDS DO CALL, BUT NOT ENOUGH.
THAT ALIMONY MAKES IT TOUGH.
THINGS ARE BETTER SINCE I MET DEB.
SHE'S HELPED ME BACK FROM MY LOW EBB.
WE'LL MARRY SOON, BUT BOTH ARE NERVOUS.
WE CARRY SCARS FROM PREVIOUS SERVICE.

Our Anniversary
Sunrays are brighter; clouds much whiter.
Nature’s creatures celebrate.
Today I vowed to delight her,
As her lucky, honored, eternal mate.
On the calendar it’s the only date I see
That has given life more meaning than ever.
Even during moments when we don’t agree,
It’s a union that nothing can sever.
This sacred date stands for our happiness and love
During each and every day of the year.
As we honor each other, someone above
Will ensure we have nothing to fear.

Each Day
Each day is a gift to me.
Each day is astounding to see.
Each day is a mystery.
Each day I’m thankful I’m free.
Each day is a passing glance.
Each day is a chance to advance.
Each day I need to dance.
Each day is full of romance.
Each day is so quickly done.
Each day should have work and fun.
Each day the sacred sun
Bestows life on everyone.
Each day means fewer remain.
Sad if they’re poured down the drain.
Joyful if I can sustain
Faith, hope and love and never wane.

The Dandelion
The hearty dandelion has much to bear.
Neither lawn nor garden welcomes it there.
Any place it appears it's a vagabond…
A sad creation of which no one is fond.
How is it that this plant of such ill repute
Has the stamina its enemies can't dispute?
It's poisoned, weeded and still breeds;
Awash with a head of transcending seeds.
Tragedy rests with this golden flower
As it awakes with each spring shower.
A world so needy, but yet so rude
Cares little about its vast use as food.

Balance
I jostle my high wire ‘tween heaven and hell.
Smelling roses above; feeling cinders as well.
I’ll lose my balance and seek help from above.
As I totter and tremble, please guide me with love.
I’ll slip often before reaching the other side.
I hope you’ll be there to balance my slide.
My demise will only come if I fear a fall,
By losing faith in myself and your lasting call.
My high wire is fraught with myriad dangers.
Balance will always keep cinders as strangers.
