Remember
Our memory is so important we need to use it every day
Never take it for granted for there's always a price to pay
It shapes our personalities and makes us who we are
Sometimes making us laugh and sometimes leaving a scar
We'll always have good memories and we'll always have bad
But we learn from our experiences so that knowledge we'll always have
We know it's not perfect for sometimes we forget
It doesn't mean it's lost it just means we misplaced it
Even with so much to remember and so much to make sense
It's choosing what to remember that will always make a difference
It’s remembering your ideas your thoughts your dreams your goals
It’s remembering to write them down so everyone knows
It’s remembering that time that song that poem that movie
It’s remembering to say I love you and being proud to say I’m me
It’s remembering to exercise our body and that incredible mind of ours
For our body will carry us through life and our mind beyond the stars
So let us not forget especially in the month of December
That life is a miracle full of magic and we should always remember to remember. Turning 40 in 2000
I still find it hard to believe just how fast time can pass
For it seemed it would go on forever in my fifth grade class
I kind of miss my father telling me to cut the grass
Because it sure beats worrying about the price of gas
I've watched the world population double in size
While going through so many changes that it amazed my eyes
The 60s, 70s, 80s & 90s each having it's own lows and highs
This was with out a doubt the greatest time to be alive
With many lives crossing my path with lasting impressions
Some enlightening my spirit and some with unanswered questions
Having many roads to choose from that it was easy to lose direction
So fortunate to live this long but it didn't seem like the intention
So you think in 40 years you would learn everything there is to know
But the world keeps reminding you there's always a need to grow
With the lessons always changing and knowing your growing old
I've learned there's nothing more precious then our beloved soul
Now I wonder if the next 40 years will be as incredible as the last
With all those experiences and memories being such a blast
Will the next changes I endure be as intense as in the past
Or will it be something totally different or do I dare ask. The Joke
We all know laughter is very good medicine
But some how you managed to add some poison
Is this your way of getting revenge
Or do you just enjoy insulting your friends
A good sense of humor is to make people laugh
It's not for you to use to cut people in half
But some how you got this impression it's funny
But this delusion is making you look like a dummy
Making people look bad to make yourself look good
Is just saying your insecure that much is understood
And having to brag and lie for attention
Will only leave you alone in your deception
And remember you can never buy real friendship
That only comes from having an open and honest relationship
So you better think before you take your next poke
Because you're the one who might end up being the joke Picture Painted
You painted a picture of someone new
Someone quite different and definitely not you
It seems some awful thing has broke you in two
Will you ever say what happened to you
There's nothing wrong with being more confident
Unless of coarse you stop having a conscience
And don't believe that it's only arrogance
For all that does is add to your ignorance
What hurts even more is the deceiving and lies
It's like your forgetting your friends have eyes
Is it that the word of friendship is losing its worth
Or is it you feel like you're the only person on earth
How long can you keep hiding and playing this game
You know you don't have to take all the blame
For we all make mistakes and your no exception
So set your self free from your painful detention
So as we stand around wondering and waiting
Still trying to figure out this incredible painting
Our vision of you will always be tainted
Unless you explain this picture you painted Choices
We have choices, some we never take, some we never knew we had
We always have choices, whether in our hearts or in our actions
I like to show people choices, though some are rarely understood
I believe its better to have them then to believe that you don't Essence
When I think about the past lives of other people
I feel entranced with wanting to know about their thoughts.
What they held dear and what they loved in those quite moments.
For what is truly us, our education, our memories,
or something simple as our true nature,
the core that makes us who we are or who we long to be.
For all the materials that we value seem insignificant
when compared to the essence of our soul. Dysfunctional
I thought to myself just how much this makes sense
I came from a dysfunctional family so I have dysfunctional friends
It's not as bad as it seems for I learned more then most
Because amongst all the dysfunction I learned to scrape burnt toast
If you don't know what this means I'll put it into simple words
It's hard to see the importance of friends & family
until you realize they're yours
So look beneath the surface for you will be surprised
What you thought was a hinder is the reason you're so wise Please don't leave
Just hear me out for I was once at your feet
it's not time to leave so please stay in your seat
This roller coaster can really be tough as we all know
but if you don't let it finish you will never know
so stay on this ride their will always be better days
good parts will always come & that's not just hearsay
I've been on this ride long enough to tell you that
You're never alone when this world is feeding you crap
There's much more to this ride that you've already seen
much more to experience & understand about this dream
The nightmare will never be over if you get off now
you will have to start over and come back as a cow
I'm kidding, I don't know what happens when we die
I know if you leave it will hurt people & make them cry
and never see all great things that you would have done
please don't go for you're one of the good ones
Your wondering how we know about you & your potential
to give your life for something that's unimaginable
don't read half a book, half a movie or kiss just one
stay & ride with us, without you this place isn't fun Online Profile
Could I actually explain who I am and put me into words
And hope to be deciphered correctly by all those online girls
Is it that I'm superficial and desperate or just plain lazy
Because if I wanted to date I would just go out or pick up the phone
so why am I so crazy
see someone for the first time and see them move and see them smile
is much more exciting then reading someone's online profile
Personals show things you have in common and make you seem compatible
but you can't convey chemistry by e-mail and some how become adaptable
So I'm going back out and not just to look
but to be there just in case she is
because when our eyes meet I'll be reminded why I was born
and what true love really is Beliefs
Beliefs should not separate us but should only liberate us
Beliefs should open doors, open our minds and open our hearts
Beliefs are not supposed to close our minds or tear us apart
Beliefs are not just to define us but mostly to remind us
We are all one species, one earth, one moon and one sun
A world separated will never work and nothing will be won Love
Love is hard to explain for it is a lot of things
it's optimism and feelings of joy that makes your heart sing
Love is being aware of yourself and the world around you
Love is showing appreciation for the people who know you
Love is cherished and something you don't want to lose
for the pain is great & feels like your heart is in a noose
But love doesn't make you smart, intelligent or even wise
So don't get buried under all the experiences in our lives
Understanding comes from experience, knowledge and school
Love comes from knowing nobody's perfect, not even you
Love is seeing the good in others especially yourself
It's best when shared & will always last longer then wealth
Love is enjoying the moment and the moments to come
Love is a smile even when there is no sun
Love is much more then having that special someone
It's being yourself & being happy with whom you will become There's More
There's more to life then meets the eye
There's more to tears that people cry
There's more to death when people die
There's just more I don't know why. America
America is more then just a place where Americans live
It's a belief in freedom and liberty so that we may give.
America is in the hearts of millions all around the world
America is about human rights for every boy and girl.
There are no races just one species so what can you say
we were all bred from the same women on that special day.
We are more measured by the good that goes unnoticed
& not by the fools who bring shame to each & everyone of us.
Our freedom has its faults for even Americans abuse this gift
we're not measured by their evil or anything even close to it.
We escaped tyranny & took this land in hopes of a new start
but evil followed and an indigenous genocide broke our hearts.
Our history is filled with mistakes and with many regrets
but our future doesn't have to be for that challenge is met.
America has much work to do & needs the support of everyone
so don't give up or lose hope for our day will surely come. Death
Death is neither a goodbye nor a hello
It is merely a change from something we know
But it must be so incredible that words cannot explain
because the millions who've gone we haven't heard much of anything
So when it comes don't be excepting without questioning
For we should all be prepared for all things
For life being so spectacular, death must be truly amazing To Mourn
Everyone has to mourn the death of a loved one,
which is a pain that never seems to die.
But eventually you have to celebrate the life of your loved one,
and that is a joy that should never die.
If you truly love someone and truly miss them, then you honor them and you honor their memories by celebrating life as if they were right there by your side.
By recognizing and appreciating our loved ones greatest qualities, and by incorporating their qualities into our own lives, we make their spirits become truly immortalized. Our loved ones are now living through us, so do them one last favor, Live! "To live in the hearts of those we love is never to die." ~Anonymous The Road
The road is like a friend
It's sometimes unpredictable
and unbearable to no end
but it's never at a loss for words
for it has a language all its own
so no matter where you are
you will never be alone. Opinions
Whether it's yours or shared with others it's still the same
Just another narrow-minded judgment with a different name
You can't have an opinion based on limited information
Unless it's your job to give a biased ignorant observation
Don't glamorize or even entertain negative points of view
It's not good for anyone or anything not even you
It's ok to express your thoughts on moments in time
if it's just complaining or attacks you're just wasting time
So try having a solution or some kind of logical plan
This way you spread intelligence instead of your malice slam Paths
It always amazes me on all the different paths that we take during our lives.
Not always knowing where they lead and how they will shape who we are.
Those decisions, those opportunities,those choices, those twists of fate.
If only more time, if only more love, if only more wisdom, who knows.
So much, so little, so what, if why, then why not.
To regret is to regress, for we all play our part in this human journey.
Envy is our enemy, for wealth and success is not a measurement of our worth.
So whatever path you find yourself on, Share what you have learned
We all pass a baton, hopefully a baton that gives and not one that takes. Time
Time can be seen and time can be felt
Through the years of changes our world has endured
Through the changes we experience in ourselves
Measured by moments and the rising of our Sun
It's one thing we can be thankful for when the day is done Don't bring hell with you
Most songs are about relationships
it's how most our lives are spent
and not just with each other
but the worlds past and future tense
We should turn our scars into knowledge
remembering the past instead of living there
never bringing our private hell with us
because that hell doesn't belong any where
I choose not to make new friends
with a lot of people every day
knowing that some of those sacrifices
there will always be a price to pay
As I near the end of the rainbow
I'm not looking for that treasure
Instead I'm bringing one
It's you who is my pleasure
Just don't bring hell with you
Please don't bring hell with you
I promise I wont bring my hell with me
Your eyes are all I see Cloudy Day
The endless hopelessness of a day with yourself
wondering how long this one will last
when will I start remembering, why does it stay
does it not know that it's not welcome anymore
I have better things to do or not to do
maybe I should just embrace this
like a friend I've finally come to understand
it's not the end, for if it were... Gawker
How can I apologize for such an embarrassing stare
My only hope is that some how you're not aware
It must be a pre programmed genetic instinct given at birth
Possessed by the most beautiful species that walks the earth
Like looking at a beautiful painting from a famous artist
Enjoying my favorite features as if I were alone in a forest
Women are really a beautiful piece of work
But that's no excuse for me to be a staring jerk
I sure wouldn't like it if it were me
Getting a stare from some uncontrollable junkie
So please forgive me for being a gawker
I'm not a freak and I'm certainly not a stalker Teenage Years
Teenagers want to be defined without definition
They want understanding without explanation
They want answers without having to ask questions
They want a map without any directions
They want to have money without the work
They want love without any words
They want to have dreams without reality
They want a body without its vitality
You will define yourself many times throughout your life
as you learn over time more and more what is right
You must always know not to give up without a fight
and to keep logic and commonsense always insight
You need to see the future and not just today
and that the world desperately needs you to be OK
Don't get frustrated when things don't go your way
Because life will never be perfect in any way
So have some patience and some kind of a plan
You'll need reassurance and way to understand
you must never be afraid to ask someone for help
So please lend a hand because that teenager is yourself Stepping Stones of Gold
We are all the same
With know one to blame
This is not a test
So there is no shame
We learn from each other
And pass on what we know
For every single lifetime
Is a stepping-stone of gold Living for Sacrifice
I hope the time I spend honors those who gave their lives
taking the time to think and dream to open up my eyes
Giving back the time that they never had a chance to spend
giving my time to make a difference before my life end Questions for my Soul
Does the soul originate from another world
Like a preplanned conception of a life unfurled
Because the human body is such a perfect host
That someone else must have engineered it at most
And this planet is such an incredible place
With nothing like it for miles far out in space
This is probably why so many of us believe in a God
Because who else could have done such an amazing job
It's like I'm in a Truman show and this is just a dream
I could have been dead a dozen times or so it seems
So maybe I did and this just a glimpse of what might have been
Because a soul that's short lived seems it could never win
So maybe we keep learning even after our body dies
Because it's so impossible to learn everything even if you try
So maybe the test is to see if a soul can make it home alive
Travel through space and find the creator and ask her why
Because life is so cruel and unfair to a soul with no hope
What's the point, to make it seem real, or to see if I choke
I hope I can keep my memories or the essence of some
Because I would want to come back again and feel the sun Regression
Oh my lord oh my lord why do my friends regress
What are these things that has made their lives such a mess
Are these excuses or just extreme cases of human insecurity
What knowledge can I bestow to make them see more clearly
So much anger and confusion they have no logic in sight
Instead of understanding they regress into an ugly fight
It seems such an awful waste of precious time and precious energy
Sacrificing life and living without enthusiasm or creativity
How long can a person use their past to explain their present self? Trying to be ready for all things to come
I’m ready to die today
But I make plans for tomorrow
And I make goals for years to come
My heart is in the sunrise
My hands are on the wheel
And I keep my eyes on the setting sun Music, What can I say
Music was a friend when I could not find one.
Music talked to me when no one could.
Music touched me when no one would.
Gave me hope when all I felt was pain.
And all music asked for in return was that I listen, which I did with my heart and my head, with an understanding as if we were one.
Even when most of the time I didn’t know all the words, it didn’t seem to matter because the music seem to communicated on a level that needed no words at all.
Thank you God for giving us all those incredible artists who produced so many different styles of music that perfectly blended and added to the mix of life.
At times it seemed like there was an endless supply of songs and sound that fill the air. It’s great when a song comes along that really grabs you and touches your soul and lets you know that you are not alone even if you are. Sparking your imagination with visions of love and pain. And how cool it is when some songs related to the experiences of your life. And when you heard your song especially with your friends at a club, in a car, concert or a party, you were able to share that passion and enthusiasm that the music was giving you by either dancing, singing or playing air guitar or what ever way you loved to express your connection to that song.
Like a stamp on a moment in time, that particular song gave our memories a face of who we were at a particular time in our lives.
So instead of trying to name all the artists that touched my life with all their music what can I say... “Thank you, Thank you.. Our Souls are Seeds our Words are its Soil
Spreading the seeds of knowledge
like a flower spreading its seeds in the wind
education is the first step so let us begin
our evolution is upon us and has already begun
it's time for all to realize we too can shine like the sun Caretaker caretaker
Caretaker caretaker tell me your name
I can’t tell friend from foe, I’m in so much pain
They say I had a stroke someplace in my brain
I’m so afraid, the words all sound the same
Caretaker caretaker please tell me my name
I’m so tired, I can’t remember if I’m still sane
Battles
I can't fight every battle that comes my way
for if I did I would be fighting all day
So I choose my battles carefully and
the time to fight them even more carefully
For time is the real enemy
For time is the only thing that is certain. You will find poetry nowhere unless you bring some with you. (Joseph Joubert)
