WARNING:

Do not be afraid or discouraged.

Loiter amongst the bushes contemplating appropriate medleys.

Proceed with care--thorns may scuff or pierce while pruning the angles.

A vibrant display develops after toiling in the earth and heat,

so exquisite labor takes a back seat to its splendor.

Pasts forgotten, the perfect time to move forward is NOW!

A journey begins from a precious bud to full blooms of feathery petals

that whisk away with the wind.

Exist and learn to adapt loving every single minute . . .

Livin'

Learnin'

and

Lovin'

With every breath, you Live!

Who Are You?

Is demeanor reserved as patience observes?

Do trivial acts work nerves leaving sanity unpreserved?

Does living throw curves to be grasped or swerved?

Emanate verve seeking the comfort you deserve. . .

See No, Hear No , Know No

Choose words wisely before they leak.

Circulate truth, not gossip in the streets.

Take a permanent break from bragging routines.

Noticeable actions shall be seen.

Know when to pay attention and what to ignore.

What's considered now may not have been before.

Three eyes passed to humanity serve as guides.

If one happens to fail, others will preside. . .

Freedom of Information

Married couples shared one room, yet slept in separate beds.

One-piece bathing suits have been whittled down to threads.

Sex sells goods as advertisers' hefty pockets swell.

What was previously viewed as lewd is now available for sale. . .

As you live, you shall Learn!

Four Dynamic Duos

Work Stay Live Don’t

Hard True Life Fake . . .

Change

. . . Change,

A major force of nature;

May be pleasant or create sorrow;

Is associated with laudatory awards;

and alters egos making way for humbling experiences.

We tend to fear what we may not understand.

However, we must welcome and embrace change. . .

Momma On Men-101

Momma said:

“Stay in school, learn as much as you can.

Expand your horizons, be successful and then find a man.

You’ve got to bring more than just your body to the table.

Get your mind right, get ready, be willing and able. . .”

Love comes from within and spreads to others . . .

As One

. . . Everything gazed upon is loved from head to toe:

Smiles that make the spine chill as the interior froths;

Mental challenges forcing contemplation;

Ears that hear speech emitted by motion . . .

‘Til Death Do Us Part

Good and bad times available to refer

Linger in the final stretch with nothing to deter

After two recessions together, thought they’d never see the end

Of lay-offs, rising prices and disastrous stock trends

A home built with four hands from the ground to the sky

Taken back by the bank before they all said goodbye

Offspring now subjected to below zero weather

Never complained once as the family stayed together . . .

Travel and Labor

Driven by Cheater’s Avenue

Made the way ‘round Liar’s Court

Ran into Pinocchio who proposed

Turned right at Lie and declined

U-turned and met Pinocchio’s cousin

Sailed furiously up giving stream

Drowning in bumpy rapids of no return . . .
