Live in the Moment

Listen, feel, love completely;
Absorb, enjoy oh so sweetly.
Nothing exists but right now.
Show the world you know how.

Immersed, focused, involved;
Sad moments will be resolved
Just as joyous times go fast,
Sad’s shadow will lose its cast.

It’s but a moment all will live,
So leave an imprint that will give
Your signature on the past
So your moments now will last.

The Sea

As I stand gazing at the sea,
Serenity enraptures me.
The ocean's constant motion
Spins a trance like a potion.
Here is where I want to be.

My triumphs and sorrows,
My todays and tomorrows
All blur as waves pass me,
In the rhythmic rush
Of this unending sea.

A lesson I'll learn
From my stem to my stern.
The sea has set me free.

I'll Always Love You

WE PLEDGE OUR VOWS TODAY

AND WILL REMEMBER TO SAY

THOSE SACRED WORDS ANEW;

CHERISHED WORDS, “I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU”.

THEN WITH THE VIEW OF EACH SUNRISE

WE'LL RENEW OUR PRECIOUS PRIZE;

THAT WISE CHOICE WE'VE MADE

IN ONE VOICE NOT AFRAID.

NOT AFRAID TO LOVE AND FEEL

Share

Whether you have a million shares or one share,
You share in life’s the same.
You share some of its benefits
As well as some of its blame.
The real difference for you is if you share your share.
That will decide if your life really has been fair.
Be it a million shares or one share, your responsibility
Is to find here on earth where you can share
For your share of eternity.

New Life

Earthly passing is not an end,
But sadness pervades family and friend,
Who remember a life well spent
By one who knew what true Love meant.

When body and soul depart
The Magnificence of Heaven will start
As truth and freedom thrive
In an existence never more alive.

This new life beyond the stars…
So much betters than ours.
It's where Love reigns supreme
As God's everlasting theme.

Change the World

To give in this world, know what you own;
Something unique to you alone.
A special talent you’ve had from birth
To better this woeful earth.

You were born for a reason, not by chance.
Pray, work, and suffer as you advance
Toward that goal of your life
That reason you’re here.
Then venture forth and without fear
Change the world in your special way
So history’s course contains your say.

Lovers Are Dreamers

Do dreams stay awhile or are they as morning dew?
Can they endure like the sky's eternal blue?
It depends on the dream and the dreamer's heart.
As true lovers know, each day their dreams start.
Alas, time does pass, but dreams true lovers own;
Most are smiles, a few tears, but never alone.
Each a dream for the other; that's what life is for.
Lovers, keep on dreaming… it's romance evermore.

The Storm

A purple sky with
Its premature night
Arouses the breeze and
Sends it to flight
Through shivering trees
Who bow in its sight.

Ghosts of the sky
Gather and groan
Abhorring their lot as
They hang there alone.
Sudden arcs spark rumbles
Sending tumbles below.

A splotch, two, two million
And then...
The air is no longer
Sultry and warm,
But fresh and cool
In face of the storm.

An Angel and A Toad

For an angel like you it's very rare
To meet a toad like me.
It almost doesn't seem fair
That our love has come to be.

There you are so gorgeous to all.
Your enchanting image does shine.
For an angel like you I had to fall.

You prove that there is a divine.
It's hard to believe you fell for me too.
That I'll never understand.

A toad like me with warts in full view
Ain't love so wonderfully grand!

One Season

I look upon the window
And what do I see;
A group of shirt sleeved children
Playing merrily.
Snow covers posh pink roses,
Though they seem not to care.
Peach blossoms battle autumn’s leaves
As I sit here and stare.
The tumult is grandiose
Fourth of July with Yule tree.
It’s confusing, but I understand,
As I give thanks on brittle bended knee;
At my ripened age, one season will do for me.
