Enjoy Joy

Enjoy Joy
7 March 2016

I have joy, joy, joy in the morning.
It makes me sing, sing, sing my heart out.
I’m telling you all of this as a warning
Because that’s the way my days start out.
I just love feeling fine.
In the morning, I have joy
And true happiness is mine.
Poetry and songs, I employ
To express these strong feelings.
I savor the sense of accomplishment
As I go thru the day’s dealings
And handle them without embellishment.
I’m telling you all of this as a warning
Because that’s the way my days start out.
I have joy, joy, joy in the morning.
It makes me sing, sing, sing my heart out.

Who’s Values?

Who’s Values?

14 Sept 2011

The bottoms of my feet are wet

From gaps between the planks

And I have no safety net

Midway between the banks.

The risk makes me shiver,

Uncertainty bites my heals,

I’m floating down life’s river

On a raft of my own ideals.

From being headstrong

To the point of scrappiness,

I hope to find my own song

And foresee some happiness.
