Beware Thoughts

Beware thoughts

that come in the night.

Their deep dark visions

can cause quite a fright.

Unlike thoughts

that come in the light

midnight perceptions

are not black and white.

These thoughts are a hue

of dark gray at best

Their meanings complex

too much to digest.

Solid advice has been given

to beware thoughts you must

Especially those that come

in the night – don’t trust.

Tomorrow

When my life seems short

and I’ve lost my way

I reach down deep

and try not to stray

To remember that it’s true

when other people say

That For After All

Tomorrow is another day.

The Merry Month of May

In the merry month of May

In a morn by break of day

I’m seeking to find my way

In spite of what others say

In the merry month of May

The thought I’d like to convey

In this a well-mannered way

Is choose carefully what you say

In the merry month of May

I’ve decided to not turn away

Reform life like potter’s clay

By doing so I am half way

When The One Whose Hand

When the one whose hand you’re holding

Is the one who holds your heart

The life you share together

Will be magical from the start

By cherishing one another

And nurturing it as it grows

Love will blossom before your eyes

Like an innocent and pure white rose

I Dreamt

I dreamt a dream

and wondered.

What can it mean?

I dreamt a dream

and believed.

What can it mean?

I dreamt a dream

and achieved.

What can it mean?

To Succeed

I’ve found that often

when you’re in need

If at first

you don’t succeed

Try and try

and just pay heed

For what you plant

may be the seed

A wish that’s made

that is not greed

Is possible

through word and deed

Don’t give up

of this I plead

If at first

you don’t succeed

Fake A Smile

I saw it in the mirror

I saw it in my face

The image was an error

My smile was out of place

Though I tried to fool myself

Wasn’t to be the case

I saw it in the mirror

I saw it in my face
