The Path

 


The Path

(Not written to a tune)


I choose a path. I am not sure how the journey will go. Nothing is guaranteed, except how you choose to proceed.

 

As the evening brings faint light. I walk my path through the dim forest.

I see shafts of light break through the leafy realm all around. It is a private place.

 

My mind tells me, “They know the way. Follow the paths of the animals.”

I find sure footing along the creatures’ trails.

 

I am grateful for those who help me along my way. I must remember them even though they are far away.

 

As the world gets fainter, I see small, brief flashes from the fireflies. Reassuring hope fills my eyes.

 

Walking through the night, the stars a crown above me send starlight.

 

I know the world is turning as I see some stars fall and still more rise.

 

I know light will come with the dawn. I am not afraid.

It will shine brightly in the coming day.

 

I will tell my story with those who will hear. With every path, comes choices. At the end of that path, we should share our voices.

 

I celebrate those who helped me. Helpers can come from unexpected places and can wear unexpected faces.

 

In a world of disorder, wise people search for a picture of the inner and question the outer.

So Much Better

  So Much Better (Tune of “ So Much Better ” from Broadway play Legally Blonde ) All of this time I stressed and I felt depressed. I sat inside listless. I lost interest in the world and in a ball I curled. I went to sleep restless.   I started to exercise to stop feeling down. I used all of what I know. I put effort into this change I had to undergo   Whoa! What is this feeling that I feel? Is this slim body truly real? This mirror’s image, is that my visage? Someone pinch me to make sure.   I feel good when I run and hike. I am doing a routine that is right I’m feeling so much better than before.   Sadness, you have been a pest. Even my best was not keeping you back. Now it looks like I’ve found a cure. And now I so cherish this life hack. I’m on the attack.   I remember when I felt I would break. So, I worked out ‘til I sweat. Now I have a very sexy silhouette No regrets. I feel more mentally sharp. Life’s better with a stronger heart. I have energy. I’m...

Can You Hear the Birds Today

Can You Hear the Birds Today ( Tune of " Can You Feel the Love Tonight " by  Elton John ) In my restless moments, Of worry and care I seek out my lovely planet. I try to be aware.   I sit outside to rest. I breath refreshing air. It’s enough to help me be at ease. It feels just like a prayer.   Can you hear the birds today? Hear the eagle’s cry. The raptor’s call is calling out to me “See leaves against the sky.”   Will you walk beneath the boughs? In the cool moist air. When you feel gentle breeze blowing by On your skin so bare.   The four seasons come and go Moving at a creep. I know that the winter’s snow Puts the world to sleep.   The spring will come in season. To the wild outdoors. The summer sun brings much abundant growth. The fall produce is stored.   Can you sense the earth’s cycles? Time’s endless spiral. This blue-green world of oceans full of life. In a great circle.   Smell the pine trees on the hill. See the sun shine in. The ...

I Get Up Again

 I Get Up Again (Tune of " Tubthumping " by Chumbawamba) We’ll be singing, when achieving, hollering when…   Life knocks me down, I get up again. It’s never gonna keep me down. Life trips me up, but I right myself, it’s never gonna stamp me down. Life beats me up, but I come back again. It never will inhibit me. Life thumps me hard, but I scamper back. It’s never gonna stifle me.   Life can be really hard, life is a business. You’ve got some pricey bills, you’ve got to advertise. Your pay check reminds you of the good times. Your loved ones remind you of the best times. (Have some goals so, you can leave legacies)   Life pounds me down, but I return again It’s never gonna repress me. Life hite me hard, but I recoup again It’s never gonna conquer me. Life bangs me down, but I retake again It’s never gonna quash me down. Life bumps me down, but I restore again It’s never gonna subdue me.   Remember to buy cheap, remember to sell dear. To make good money, find...
