365 Days

(Tune of “365 Days” by ZZ Ward)

 

It was time to pack up and leave

Find something that was right

Went to a new city where we could live in better light.

 

We moved in early autumn

I started a new job

Made a new home and friends in a place that I love.

 

Then the problems came fast

But, I made damn sure that I would last.

 

365 days, a year to the date

I bravely made a life change

It’s never too late

Now summer’s over

And I’m a winner

Powerful winner

 

Lawsuits and visitation

A case in the courts

The cost of lawyers and flights didn’t make me change my course

 

Pandemics and quarantines

Made us all stay at home

Social distancing started and we all felt alone

 

 

But, at work I drove the action

From home I tried to make some traction

 

365 days, I ran through the course

With careful planning and drive

I never came up short

And I’m stronger,

tougher, older

harder, winner

 

Trips to the emergency

Going in for surgery

Missing my child all summer

Bravely fighting breast cancer

Colleagues leave work, giving up

Empty office, work piles up

But, I triumphed and ran the show

Used the experience to grow

 

 

365 days, I’ve been on your plate

You keep twisting the game

I keep playing it straight

Cause I’m stronger

Bolder, brighter,

Older, clever

 

 

365 days, it’s been a real treat

With every challenge I show you

I can stay on my feet

The summer’s over

Stronger now

tougher now

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...
