Only a fool would believe in a dream
As she comes to him upon silver streams

Only a fool sees such beauty
as he sings her a song because he feels it's his duty

Only a fool is often blind not to see her smile is selectively kind
Only a fool creates an image of his beloved in his mind

Only a fool is stupid enough to believe in such beautiful eyes
Yet cannot discern between truth and lies

Only a fool often deceives himself when he is only seeing the binder of the book upon a shelf

Only a fool accepts surface knowledge without delving deeper to the heart
often by doing so he is finished before he even starts

Only a fool hears his own song and nobody is listening anymore because they heard his same old story for too long

Only a fool refuses to heed to the wisdom blowing in the summer breeze
For he is too busy crying and whining for his beloved to appease

Only a fool is too stupid to see his beloved never left him out in the cold to freeze
Yet, he left her in tears to chase other foolish dreams

Only a fool indeed long after it's too late he has sealed his fate
There are no more chances to fix what is broken all the fool has left is a token

Only a fool never seems to learn no matter how smart he thinks he is
Love is like sand that pours out of a sieve
It rains its beauty for a moment like water to help the fool live
When its all gone there is no more to give.

Covid has taken a huge bite out of the number of garage sales
I have a Chevy Cruze with remote start
If the battery gets low the car won't start
I came close to being stranded in front of St Mary's Gym
I thought they had a garage sale in the gym
They didn't
I was supposed to help my sister haul away garbage from Mom's home today
A day before Mother's Day
Not happening!
I didn't support her being taken from her home
I'm not going to be part of her loss of her freedom
Freedom to drive her car
Gone!
Freedom to live with her grandchildren
Gone!
Her mind
Going, Going, Gone!
At least I got some good chocolate chip cookies

Really I am so lost without you!
You never give me bad things
Only good and worthy things!
Even YES... I admitted ...
Sometimes ... I leave you ...
But ... LOVE always leads me back to YOU!

Just like Eric Clapton says ...
"Would you hold my hands IF I saw U in heaven"
But ... I think I'm not deserve to b there
But ... I wanna b there with you
IF I COULD!

YES ...
I missed you, MOM!
YES ... your awesome daughter missed U!

What are you waiting for?
Why don't you let that Love pour?
A little more
A lotta more
I implore to endure
The thin n thick of it
The two faced liar n hypocrite
Let nobody n no thing dampen your Spirit
Of course life experiences leave you in doubt
Self made prison walls n ya can't get out
You gave your heart lika token
But then the trust was broken
Not once
Not twice
Even more than thrice
And this time afraid to roll them dice
Walk around with the face cold like ice
That's not very nice
Is it?
Allowing the world to take your shine
Shizz happens n ya can't press rewind
Instead try to understand the lesson
And even if ya can't, know that the experience is designed for your progression
Every level of oppression
Don't hate it embrace it
Take time to sit back n reflect
Always with gratitude n respect
Why wait for the perfect moment
Pick any moment n make it perfect

The contract between you and God
You saw in the smoke of fire.
You went through depths of hell.
A slave of the body desires,
But a master of your heart,
You always had a lot to tell...
Although
There were crowds around,
You was alone.
You was too strong
To show
What happened in your soul.
Your deep emotions
Were read in every line
You wrote ..
And that was so fine
To read , to hear, to absorb
But life goes on
Blessed be your way .
And may the love and joy
Light up your every day

I'll ask the moon to serenade you
I'll ask the stars to hum along
As moon beams walk you home

And when you reach your doorstep turn around
Look and listen to what your shadow has to say
Cause this is how I pray

And you will never be lonely
No you will never be lonely when you are far away
Cause this is how I pray

And when you see the clock on the wall
Has it's hands together you'll know my love is here to stay
Cause this is how I pray

Silent shadows
running thru the fields,
Silence clouds passing
all-day

Silent moonlight
bounces thru the trees,
Silence two-steps across
the lake

Yet
when my heart
is with you Lord
its shield breaks
oh Lord how it breaks
in the most tender way.

Silent snowflake
falling like a ghost
Silence swings low
thru the gate

Silent stones
gather no thoughts,
Silence gives my
heart away.

Nothing for me to see
Nothing for me to do
That place had a name
And now I'm forgetting it too

Friends have all disappeared
Into thin air
If only I could exist
In a town of somewhere

Wake up early mornings go walking in the dark
Lights turning on in peoples houses
And daybreak will find me
With a longing heart

For a new beginning
A life that is fair
Guess I'll keep on drifting
Till I find a town of somewhere

Very few women are interested in a handicapped man, as God is my witness, I'm doing the best that I can. I shed real tears, the lonely part of life, searching for that friend, that may become my wife. My kidneys were failing, that part is true, one never knows, it can happen to you. I still love to laugh, a comic with endless tales, laughter is the best medicine, a cure that never fails. Many things make me tick, I'm enjoying my time, I love to cook, and been called a master of rhyme. I take one day at a time, that's everyone's rule, a loving and caring man, I'm nobody's fool. I say daily prayers, the mind is thinking each day, my book never closes, I still have a lot to say.
