Daisies on my porch sill
Soaking up the sun
The wind gently tugging at their pedals
The day slowly turns to night
The night sky brings their pedals to life
They begin to dance at the stars
With the moon as their partner
So happy to be alive
Now it’s time to rest
They relax for a time
Until the next morning’s light

Daisies on my porch sill

Are such a delight


Thomas Rhett – Marry Me


leadership-ducklings

A city of of people

Turn to me

Looking for hope and direction

They trust me to lead them to their destiny

Am I strong enough

Who will lead me

Who will give me strength

We will do great things together

Together as one

For I am nothing without

All of you

You are my strength

You are my soul

You are my conscience

You are my soul

You are my heart

If you look to me

I’ll look to you and together

We will whether all storms

Peaceful Dreams©

In the peace of our dreams at night

We desperately hold onto our thoughts

Holding on to everything good we feel and know

Eagerly trying to chase away the bad and those who cause it

When we close our eyes we see only what we want to see

We feel only what we want to feel

We bring back the memories we want to bring back

These are our peaceful times

In this I see a meadow filled with lilies

Frogs sitting across from each other with the same look that we have

As we lay stretched out on the hill

On our backs we lay

The clouds swiftly moving overhead

We count the seconds it takes for each group to pass us by

The seagulls are racing each other, who will win

We close our eyes to hide from the sun

Hoping that our peaceful dreams won’t pass us by

How long do we wait until we slip into a dream?


Rank©

Rank

What is Rank?

The order in which we deal

The order in which we report

How we cope

Where we go

Who we are

Rank

Meaningless levels of authority

Meaningless levels of learning

How we teach our children

How we become who and what we are

Rank

It’s class, description, whether meaningful or meaningless

Rank

Is a call to tell how we feel

What we do, who we are, and who we want to be

What is your rank?

What does it mean to you?

I rank not, as you’re all the same to me.


Holding Onto the Sun©

This morning I woke up with my eyes wide open ready for what I might see

The sun was just peaking preparing to rise, bringing light to yet another day

My body lagging behind me not wishing to follow the orders coming from my brain

Tiredness still overwhelming me from earlier day’s journey

The amount of work was truly beyond ones belief

Trying oh so hard to keep up with the rest

I know when the sun reaches its full peak of rising

I should be showered, fed and ready to go

But something continues to hold me back

My mind no longer controls my actions

I’m being run by the body in which I live

When did I lose control?

So hard I try to keep all in shape

Long walks to clear the clutter often stuck in my head

My music lends a piece of mind

While my exercise firms this shape that I’m in

The phone now rings as it is half past 6

Reminding me I’m to be on my way

My body no longer has control as my mind has come back into play

I’m sure we never stop to think of just how easy it is to lose ones control

Be thankful for a strong mind!

When I look back on my life, what will I say?

I survived these days of my life

And keep a smile on my face

I have a wonderful family

A great job

I’m writing

I’m not alone

I’m helping others

I have a good heart and soul

I can see beyond myself

I can see beyond today

I know what it means to feel

I know what it means to rise above the pain

I know what it feels like to hit rock bottom

I know how it is to remain sane

I know what it means to win or lose

I know how to laugh and cry

I also know that life doesn’t revolve around me


Stars in Your Eyes©

It’s hard to see you now

Because there are stars in my eyes

The stars come from the feeling I get

When our eyes lock

When your soft lips touch mine

The feeling that I get when you hold me tightly in your arms

And you run your gentle fingers up and down my spine

The smile upon your face reaches stretches from cheek to cheek

I’m happy that I’m the reason for your smile

My toes are numbing and my muscles fall limp

Just at the thought of your very kiss

I look to the clouds

For whatever reason they appear as hearts

Everything’s coming up rose for you and me

Is this what I’m always going to get when

I look into your eyes with the stars each night?
