I told you not
I told
I told all
that would listen
Told them how it was
how it would be
Now
I’m telling you all
These precious things
that have been
And
Will be.

Don’t live your life
in a way
you know how you’ll die.
Live a life worth living
til that time, that time
you really do die.
Let joy, happiness prevail
all trials, heartache pale with moments
when
your heart bursts in joyous cries
your eyes run tears of gratitude
your ears hear angels trumpet
stories.
Stories of your magnificent life.
the life, that life
you’re going to live.
Till you die.

I have made it
even thou there were those
Who said
It won’t be so
couldn’t be, would never be
Hear their calls of criticism
hear their snorts of disbelief
Saying
I can’t do this
this that I know I need too
know I can do
can succeed and complete.

Thank you
for
giving us a special boy
Who by being him
has mended a broken heart
Breathed life
where there was despair
Given joy
where there was no hope
We thank you
Lizz
So very glad
we met, we spoke.

You couldn’t be
what I needed
wanted you to be.
No matter
how hard you tried
you couldn’t be.
You couldn’t be
all that I needed
desired you to be.
I see you couldn’t be
you couldn’t be.

Procrastination, procrastinating
Get it done now
– maybe
Guilty, guilty, guilty
See it done later
– maybe
In the meantime
I’m sure
– positive
I’m not lazy
Just don’t want to do it now
– too busy
If I put it off
I’ll always have something to do
– crazy
Procrastination, procrastinating
See it done later
– maybe.

A hummingbird came to my window
today
not seen since
in the fall
when they all
flew away.
Sweet nectar she’s looking for
needs right away
hovering, looking in
she tells me.
Get it ready!
Get it ready!
Get it ready right away!
The little hummingbird
is
hungry
she’s flown such a distance
from far
far away.
Now needs
some sweet substance
til
all the blooms
are
on display.
A hummingbird came to my window
and
told me all this
just this morning
just today.

I saw a chipmunk sleeping lazily
Enjoying the day
Quietly.

I saw a dog splashing
Playing in the water
All alone.

I saw a deer eat seeds
From my deck
Secretly.

I saw a tree fall
Smashing all.

I saw ants marching across sand
With a leaf in their mouth
They ran.

I saw a dog cry
Mourning the loss of one
Who’d died.

I saw a tree upside down
How could this be?

I saw a bumblebee sip nectar
Quietly.

I saw a fawn cry
Plaintively.

I saw a stingray fly
Majestically.

I saw a crocodile up close
So scary.

I saw life abound
But none, not a soul, no one
Saw me around.

Won’t go back
My thoughts were right
the
first time.
Don’t second guess those thoughts
let them flow
Telling you
all
all you need to know.
They know
They are connected
to
the universe
and
there all thoughts
they
freely flow.

Pathetic and sad
He goes forth
The essence of bad.
No one curtails
No one dare tell
The evil one
He is going to wither
In hell.
He doesn’t know
It doesn’t have to be so
He could be happy
And glad.
All that’s required
Is to be open, generous
Considerate and mostly
Not angry, bitter
Or sad.
