When A Child Gives Me Advice

Most Children have hearts that are pure
Thoughts that are not surrounded by half held truths
When they offer their advice we really should think
About what they are saying
Because they' re seeing what is, not what is expected
Not words we want to hear but
Words that reflect what they feel
Without fear without compulsion
They speak what they feel
From their limited thoughts without regard to those that hear
They answer quickly
With instant thoughts aimed at helping
Friends and family

Piggy bank

I have a piggy bank
That I started one
Month go
For my nephew
To go to university
The university is very expensive
I mean the fee
It will be cheaper to
Start a piggy bank
There I will have enough money
To pay for his university

My Secret Dream

My Last Words
Express my love and hope
For family, friends and enemies
As I express my regret and shameful actions
Remember what was best not my worst
Learn from my past actions
My last thoughts

Road house Angie!

Long raven hair,
witches dark eyes
Born in October,
turned nineteen in 1969!

The summer of love,
held a big surprise.
On an old Indian motorbike,
she headed for Woodstock!

Nothing could hold her,
she drove through the night.
Headed for the concert,
a rider at her right behind.

Her spirit rebellious,
she lied to her family.
She left without warning,
beneath the night sky.

I keep on moving

I keep on moving
In the right direction
In my life
I need lots of people
In my life
I am always afraid
To end up alone
Every day
I understand that
Sometimes we need
A break from each other
I find life in general to be
Precious for me
Also I never gamble with my life

Keep yourself alive!

That jackass keeps
braying and kicking.
Be careful not to
step behind!

A hoof to the head,
just might kill you.
This beast could
care less if you die!

People are often
like these creatures.
They're reckless,
with their insults and chides!

When you encounter
some of these idiots,
don't always say
what's on your mind.

If you reveal yourself,
in to much detail.
You'll be vulnerable
to an uneasy ride.

Dog Years

My dog is likely marveling at me.
Not for anything I've done for him.

If you go by the one-year equals seven theory,
he must be wondering how I can still move, considering my age!

I think about this when I step out for any length of time,
and understand why he gets so excited when I come back.
I must have been gone for years.

Closeted Emotions

We once embraced and knocked our knees
Now we are tied to our phones and keys

Human interaction seems to fade away
As our internet capabilities are here to stay

Plucking away on the Facebook page
Sends me into an inner rage

Watching our young and how they react
Has changed our lives and that’s a fact

How can we teach them how to enjoy a touch
A warm embrace, the thrill of a crush

Interaction is what we really need
To form a society that will be freed
