Your Right To Be Wrong

Wouldn’t it be great to never be wrong;
To always be right and go along
Knowing your opinions count more
Than any others that have gone before?

Alas, this won’t ever take place since
From wrong to right there’s a lot of space
Littered with wrongs, but along the way
Your proportions can improve everyday.

Everyday, that is, that you demand
Your right to be wrong and firmly stand
On the path only you have chosen to go
That’s right for you from wrongs you know.

Jealousy

Jealousy is such a self-defeating emotion,
Like trying to swim the ocean,
Or change the course of a clock's motion.
All it does is infest its hosts,
Who feel inferior to all or most,
Until they find those they can control
And thus steal a superior role.
Thoughts and actions they then own
While dominating another lonely drown.
Unfortunately the jealous never see
The rest of the world who always flee
Their self deprecating chagrin blaming
Others for the maudlin state they're in.

Times Like These

At times like these who can say
This is right or that's the way?
Black seems white or is white gray?
And right was wrong the other day.

Once in vogue, it holds no sway.
To march, to march, but not to pray.
Rights are sought, but who will pay
The cost of duties they portray?

Fears and fights and friction may
Obscure our goals and cause delay.
Yet we must work and hold at bay
Forces of evil which will betray
Self and country when they bray
That rights and wrongs are both okay.

My True Friend

There are two kinds of people inhabiting this earth.
Most are valuable; a few have immense worth.
It’s not in terms of money, but so much more.
They may have riches or be among poor.

They are truly diamonds of another kind.
Just as gems they’re rare and so hard to find.
Like diamonds these few cast a brilliant glow.
Even more they spread kindness wherever they go.

Lenora, you are truly one of these very few…
You’re brilliant, kind and sensitive.
I’m so honored to know you!

Wedding Day

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 ceremony stands for our happiness
and love during every day of the year.
As we honor each other, someone above
Will ensure we have nothing to fear.

The Woman of My Life

From her beautiful face to delicate feet,
She's a fantasy dream complete.
Oh those gorgeous brown eyes hypnotize
Like beams of a brilliant sunrise.

She's intelligent, sensitive and sensual too.
Her feminine grace is captured by few.
She makes life worth living, giving her all.
No friendship is fleeting or favor too small.

To live with her is to feel everyday
Sweetness and kindness ... her only way.
She's a gentle soul soothing signs of strife.
My lover, my partner, the woman of my life.

Four Beautiful Seasons

Why there are seasons…
And this may sound strange…
Is to provide good reasons
To justify change!

With no seasons when would birds nest?
When would some fly away
Because winter's a pest?
And Fall colors would be held at bay.

Christmas might well end up in June.
With no seasons no one would care.
Then the cow would jump over the moon.
Now that might roust up a stare!

Luckily for many good reasons
There'll always be change
In four beautiful seasons…
And that's not at all strange!

Such Is This World

It's not what you say, but how it is said
That determines what stays in the head.

Appearance of conviction as you speak
Shows you and your ideas aren't weak.

Understanding 1% less than you do,
Makes you expert for some points-of-view.

Facts are merely what they appear to be
Since reality only a few can or want to see.

Truth is defined by those who prevail
So all other information is irrelevant detail.

Such is this world not for better but worse.
Demand change to put decline in reverse.

Reminds Me of You

In a way this fine day reminds me of you;
Bright, full of life to pursue.
And the skies, like your eyes, sparkle with sheen;
Not just blue, nor gray, nor green.

But a chorus of colors amid golden rays
That makes days, like your ways, live and true.
No cloud is allowed as i look all the while,
Like your face that no frown can beguile.

Your laugh, like half day, is brightest of all;
Your call. A sound ever new.
Yes, in a way this fine day paints quite a view;
So bright, so warm , so you!
