What words roll off
this tongue of mine?
Hoping they're well meaning
and not at all unkind.
We speak, sometimes
the brain is not engaged.
Not a good trait to have,
but it does happen
and when it does,
fess up your apologies,
refresh your cause,
keep on with your life,
do not stop and pause.

Life may be short,
no matter how hard we toil,
for the happiest life
may only be, all hyperbole.

Go with the wind,
as far as you can,
for life is an adventure,
or it can be,
if you plan your journey,
in a positive way.
Work on your goals.
Practice your craft every day
and you will discover,
some work is like play.
A role you can assume,
almost every day.

Love can be elusive
and may only bring,
heart ache and woe.
Certainly not a
reason to sing,
of flowers and a
most colorful Spring.

I need to brighten up the night,
writing happy words to you.
Bringing more of the Sun light,
is what I will try to do.
I see all the new births
and the pictures we now share
across the Internet, which I view.
They bring a new freshness
to our lives and begin life anew.
I don't know about what I see
but I do know I love all of you.

Do it on purpose.
Write words every day.
Don't treat it as work,
Pretend it's to play.
When you write words,
Down on paper this way,
You'll strengthen your skills,
This is all I will say.

A simple thought
will be the start,
as I replay, in my mind
the affairs of the heart.
