Painful Aspects

Painful aspects
Will not be something
I think of when
I relive my history, my art.

Onward, forward
Must be the march
No hesitation
No “What if my heart?”

Will be positive and pleased with all
Remembering the world
Gives you what you dare to dream
Dare to start.

We Are Here And Everywhere

 

 

 

We are here and everywhere
We shall care and shouldn’t dare
All that lives within our atmosphere.

They live here as we do
And help us through all
This heavy burdened stratosphere.

We should care and treasure us
That we must for what else
Is there here or anywhere?

Peek Beneath

Peek beneath
All that covers
See things
As they really are.

Face them square
Confront and dare
All to be everything
You need.

You and me
We can be
More than anything
We dare.

So peek beneath
Accept the dream
And be the one
You really are.

A Bear In My Chair

A bear in my chair
Oh what a scare
No one would dare
Tell the bear in my chair
he shouldn’t be there
But guess he can go
About anywhere.

A bear in my chair
It’s creaking and groaning
Under the weight of that bear
That bear in my chair.

Oh I swear
I never would go there
And sit in my chair
With that bear still there.

How and where
Did that bear get there?
To sit in my chair
A bears’ still there
He doesn’t care
It’s my chair.

That nasty old bear
That sits in my chair
How dare that bear
That nasty old bear
Who just sits in my chair!
