Songs
If you could read my mind
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
Now tell me what you gonna do
When judgement comes for you
No one to blame
You know I love you, 99
Let me hear you say
Fight the power
Living in a promise land
Our dreams are made of steels
Sundown you better take care
If I find you been creepin round my back stairs!
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
Now tell me what you gonna do
When judgement comes for you
No one to blame
You know I love you, 99
Let me hear you say
Fight the power
Living in a promise land
Our dreams are made of steels
Sundown you better take care
If I find you been creepin round my back stairs!

Just some songs I listened to this last week
online today!I was never very sociable.
I was never very sociable.
I never fit in those circles of friends
Where each one tries to show off more than the other,
I never liked being the center of attention.
I like simple things, simple people,
Eternal loves and lifelong friends.
I never fit in those circles of friends
Where each one tries to show off more than the other,
I never liked being the center of attention.
I like simple things, simple people,
Eternal loves and lifelong friends.

About this poem:
I know I have seen more, but I can't remember them all. It has been fun though.
Winter Evening
Cold,silent dusk
Gold tints west,
Birds fly to rest.
Steaming broth
Warms the insides
Cosy evening fire burns.
Nostalgia takes over,
Sweet & bitter plays
The scenes on blank wall
Wintry days,silence reigns
Brings to mind
Sweetness or sadness.
Gold tints west,
Birds fly to rest.
Steaming broth
Warms the insides
Cosy evening fire burns.
Nostalgia takes over,
Sweet & bitter plays
The scenes on blank wall
Wintry days,silence reigns
Brings to mind
Sweetness or sadness.

About this poem:
Just sweet & sad thoughts of home fill my mind as I sit alone looking out of the window,watching the few sparrows braving the cold ( past their bed time ) to eat the crumbs.
Memories of Dad
Why don't you use your head for something other than a hat rack!
Which way is the tree going to fall?
I'm missing 35 dollars in change, you know anything about that?
I'm going to give you my car, but after that, you're on your own.
You need to work all the overtime you can, that's what built this house.
I'm missing a gun and a lot of money, it's really bad.
Are you going to come back next year and fish with me?
What are you looking at?(after hitting his truck door into a post)
Back up the truck.(Backed it over a log, he spent three hours cutting it out)
You knew that vine was going to break, didn't you?
Free the raccoon? You stick your hand in there and then tell me how many fingers you have left!
I told you to get rid of that car after 100,000 miles!
Come again when you can stay longer.
You leave Mike alone! He's enjoying himself! (Me singing and annoying Deb)
Quit yelling, you're upsetting Mike!(After my hook accidentally hooked Rich)
45 fish huh, what are you going to catch your pecker size? And you're cleaning them when we get back to the cabin.
Are you OK Mike?(After I fell on the ice while ice fishing sitting on a bucket)

About this poem:
Dad sure had plenty to say!
OLD FEELINGS
This is why Time Machine is only fiction
You can only look back
to search for what you've lacked:
Words you should've said…
Love you should've shared…
The lost moments…
No second chances…
Only memories return
with regrets that burn
Sometimes they can all come again
only to relive all the days when…
This is why Time Machine is only fiction,
because some people leave you behind
for some new chapters
episodes without your part
while you remain outdated
with old feelings and ideals inside your head…
R.

About this poem:
This pandemic has given us more time to look back and reflect on the past. Sometimes, there are people and things that we must let go of because they're just not meant to be the permanent part of our journey ahead.
Sonnet #16
But wherefore do not you a mightier way
Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time?
And fortify yourself in your decay
With means more blessed than my barren rhyme?
Now stand you on the top of happy hours,
And many maiden gardens yet unset
With virtuous wish would bear your living flowers,
Much liker than your painted counterfeit:
So should the lines of life that life repair,
Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen,
Neither in inward worth nor outward fair,
Can make you live yourself in eyes of men.
To give away yourself keeps yourself still,
And you must live, drawn by your own sweet skill.
Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time?

About this poem:
Time is one of my most Treasured Assets; so this is an interesting Sonnet that sums it up for me....Go Bears!
I saw them play in the Super Bowl 35 years ago in 1986
They even had a song "The Superbowl Shuffle"
The Bears were a lot of fun that year
The Fridge
Jim McMahon
Walter Payton
And their head coach Mike Ditka
The only team they lost to in 1985 was the Dolphins
So they play against the New Orleans Saints at 3:40 PM on Sunday
If I get lucky, they will eventually play the Green Bay Packers
Like they did in 2011
And the Packers will win
But if the Bears win
I'll root for them in Super Bowl LV (55)

About this poem:
I watched the game last week and it didn't matter at all who won that game. The Bears still made the playoffs and the Packers still have home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
E.M.Forster's poem
Those who prepared for all the emergencies of life beforehand may equip themselves at the expense of joy.
