I looked up the poorest country in the world
It is South Sudan
It is located in Africa
I think of the homeless here
They are poor too
I saw a homeless person looking at the menu in the Hardee's drive thru
I'm sure he has access to food at the food bank
But
I know he would rather have some good food
Then there was the guy living in his car parked by the library
I wonder if he was hot as a car can get really hot on a summer day
Then I think of Elon Musk, the richest man in the world
Is it fair for one man to have 254 billion, and another to starve?
They say it is easier for a camel to pass thru the eye of a needle
Than for a rich man to enter heaven
I'm sure with his wealth, Elon will just make a bigger needle

What is real wealth? Money is nice, but peace and happiness go a long way too.

I don’t like it… missing you.
Makes me feel weak…missing you.
Can’t think why I should;
You weren’t very good.
Is it really you that I’m missing then?
Or is it that brief part of our past life together
When things were new?
That seems more true.
I’m not really…missing you.

A large piece of property in the middle of nowhere somewere
A yappy dog to alert even the invisible intruder from who ares where
Toss in a pool for excercise and sailing
Let there be rock to anchor the wailing

Just in case you don't want to be the one to say goodbye
Just in case there's a little red in your eyes
Just in case you wanted to keep your ring out of sight
And it's ok if all you have to say is goodnight
If all you have to say are words that sound polite
If all you have to say is that the weather is nice
I wasn't ready I wasn't prepared
I hated to walk away and leave you standing there
Just in case you need me to let go
Just in case you are feeling low
I'll never stop again to say hello and it's alright
If all you have to say is goodnight

Your Heart Beats Love, my beloved, Celtic queen,
Onward through the divine sky, you fly,
under God’s sun, your spotlight through the day,
remembering love given within joy’s song.
Heaven’s realm, the heart that beats with love,
eternal joy, as my lips, meet your lips,
answer the call of my heart, harmonising,
replaying in my mind, a Celtic piece,
turning my life’s sorrow into love’s own light.
Between our hearts, the song that sings forever,
ever in love’s sky, together, soaring,
as my temple sings with yours, the song is primal,
tender, caressing your temple, golden, Shining,
shine forever in my summer sky, my Celtic queen.
Love forever shines from eyes of glory,
over the stars, join me in dreams own Heaven,
verily, forever Celtic glory,
eternity, I find, for your heart beats love.

Oh, maiden fair, come dance with me,
within a starlight memory,
come, with me, to the starlight stream,
you are my paradise, in dream.
My Celtic Queen, come in the night,
and share with me, your Angel light,
I lose myself within your eyes,
you are my paradise.
Come, dance with me, to love’s refrains,
love in our heart always remains,
you lift our heart to Heaven’s skies,
my love, you are where passion lies.
In the dawning of my days,
I shall give you all my praise,
in our heart, where passion lies,
within our heart, you are my paradise.

What does it matter what I want
if I can't have it anyway...
Because to keep on wanting something
is one more good reason
to wake up with hope every morning...
Because to live but stop wanting anything
is almost akin to cease on truly living ...
to surrender to the challenges of life,
and go through it without meaning ...
Some who may suffer the void of loneliness may say...
What does it matter what I want
if I cant have it anyway ...?
But then, perhaps not just yet...
maybe later when the time is right..
with the right person
so no more sadness & regret ...
I feel, as long as you believe
your heart's in the right place
and unselfishly caring ...
Regardless of the empty space beside you...
it DOES matter what you want
as long as you know, deep in you,
that you're truly deserving
in the same measure
you can give back all that loving ....

Come, Dance With Me, My Celtic Queen,
into the night that sings your song,
on the breath of desire, I hold you close,
we shall dance through the stars, shining.
Oh, glory divine, your beauty does shine,
your heart, I do feel gently beating,
it is the music of love, serenading,
my Celtic Queen, gently flow into my soul.
All my tomorrows, they sing to you,
stay in my arms, as the stars gently sing,
as we dance to the song, with love in our hearts,
I lose myself within your soul.
Come, lie with me, in our chasms of light.
My beloved, harmonize with me,
in our dreams, we share passions desires
but dream as I hold you so close to me,
come, dance with me, my Celtic queen.

Pardon me for staring and pardon me for caring
But my adhd falls in love so easily
I hope you understand
Pardon me for dreaming and pardon me for thinking
About you all the time
I know it's one sided and my adhd treats me so unkind
Pardon me for hoping and pardon me for not coping
With my adhd but you're the most beautiful woman
I've ever seen and maybe you will never understand
