Goodbyes
Words we don't like to say
situation where it garnish them
some happy, many sad, few the final ones
words and tears just hurt the mood
either a simple or a long time
hugs, kisses, hand shakes, trades of numbers
will you ever see them again, soon or later
time tells us when and where, sad or happy times
airports, bus stations, by the car, at funeral
no matter where you are, those words are hard to say
Soldiers off to war, kids to college, to a new life
you never know what lies around the corner
just to say those words just makes you miss them more
wait to say hello and welcome back
but for now i leave you with these final words
Goodbye, see you real soon, love you

Fly Kite Fly
a ball of string, a couple sticks
diamond shape paper
you never would think it would be so much fun
young and old,
brothers, fathers, grandpas, sons
also Sisters, Mothers, grandmas, daughters
it's a challenge for us all
running and running, trying to get it up
finally a breeze to rise it.
higher and higher
the excitement of getting it up
brings smiles and hugs all around
it glides left and right, up and down
spinning all around
a joyous time for all around.
breezing dying down
its heading down, chasing it fast
crash in a tree above, they laugh so hard
who to climb that tree, for the prize
not me, but you my young kiter

I Am So Into You
Your elegant walk, you soft talk
your graceful smile, beautiful eyes
gorgeous long legs, makes me begs
picture perfect, a work of art
no one so beautiful as you
many gorgeous women, none matches you
the things you do makes me wonder to
how i could have found you, so lucky too
the quick smiles, the snappy come backs
the serious, the humorous, the sad sides
makes you one of a kind, excellent find
the twinkle in your big round eyes
melts me to the core
even when we argue i can't not be mad long
to see tears in your eyes, brings me heartache
never would let anyone hurt you, even myself
I am so into you, my heart to you
no one will ever take your place
there no mistake, I am so into you

Hate No More
In the news again
things never change, everything out of range
why do we play these games, it's child play
why do we hate so much, never no our fate
Crazies shooting and killing young and old
for they blame them for their own pain
White, Black, Indians, Sikh, Muslims, Jews
are no different inside then we are outside
hatred and racism starts in the home
parents, grandparent, sisters, brothers
we need to change our way
Life can be free and religion can to
better to be different, life most challenging
we can learn, we can be Stearn
violence is not the answer
people are the answer, change is on the way
quit the hatred game, get rid of the shame
Start at home, more will come
Hate no more

Crashing World
The world was so perfect
now spinning endlessly, now imperfect
what was grand, now barely stands
As the walls come crumbling down
the doors keep closing, options nearly down
what to do, where to go, will it ever stop
the sun was shining so bright
now the sky so gray and dark
laughter and smiles got to frowns and tears
time flying by, bills just piling
money falling like tumbling fall leaves
mind is wandering, head is pounding
faster, fast the ground is opening
like a black hole sucking up space
where to find answers looking everywhere
down, down the world is sinking fast
have to clear them mind and reorganize
praying for faith and trust
stop this world form spinning and make it prefect

Beautiful Ladies
small or tall, little or big
short to long hair, let it flow
green to brown to blue, eyes to adore
frowns to to smiles, grins from cheek to cheek
slender to chunky to heavy set, size no matter
their gentle touch, the voice so soft
their hearts so big and brains so smart
their tears so sad, cries so bad
they are all the same in side and out
spirits and souls for us to enjoy
never forget who they are
a soul mate for someone, like you and me
look be on the cover, there is more to enjoy from the soul
beauty is the eye of the beholder
blind we are for the beauty might be in our eyes
and the smiles might turn to kisses
love them who there are, not for dreams we want
before we lose the one we love

My Words To Be Written
Words can be said, they can be written
they can be funny or sad or informed
words are sought after by everyone
papers, scripts, books, letters or texts
they can gossip, tattle or lie
honest, trust worthy, confusing
written to story or rhyme to rhythm
they can be found in our minds
written or printed they are strong
brought together the bring magic
imaginations, fantasy, real life
many stories and songs by words
have touched the soul with in
my words are to enlighten and entertain your mind
to put you in places we never dreamed
and to think I could of done that
my words to you is my soul to share
written with love, hate and sorrow
take the time to enjoy the words
words make ours dreams come true

Stressful Love
Where to begin all in a spin
Stress, lies, bills, pressure
they are mounting, like a bounty
never enough money
working, working so endlessly
headaches, sleepless nights
searching for answers
that never come, what has become
a endless story, with no end
pressure building, stress growing
brain running, stop resting
blood broiling, heart racing
no where to go, no one to talk to
no help in sight, future not bright
tough road ahead, time to amend
finding time to relax, getting the right faxes
answering the problems in the head
looking for leads, to relieve
no more stress, no more pressure
stop the lies, pay the bills

Smile For A Better Day
To touch a life can be simple
it just takes you to make it work
a hand shake, a smile, a hello
or just be polite, give a needy hand
so simple but so hard in life today
people are in a hurry, don't want to be bothered
no time for strangers, little time friends or co workers
take the time, it can be fun and bring a smile
make it away were you leave them thinking
people are friendly no matter when or where
a smile, a hello, a shock look of surprise
as you walk a way. they think how pleasant that was
how you made their day better and that really matters
a simple gesture can change a frown to a smirk to a big smile
make time to say a simple hello, shake a hand or a smile
could make anyone's day a better day, especially yours

Arguments
Loud voices, heated debates
started out small, escalated
many topics, never ends
stupid remarks, lots of barks
different stories, true or lies
always wrong, sometimes true
undecided, in the middle
does matter which side your on
things get said with no regards
feelings hurt, damaging words
screaming matches, fists a pounding
feet stomping, doors a banging
doesn't matter what it is
arguments happen everyday, anytime
any where, everyone has them
in the end its not worth the fight
worth the words, or the hurt
arguments are not worth the time
many senseless words, wasted time
time to cool off, heal from the words
