Brothers

Hanging out with my brother

Is great fun like no other.

Not just one, I have two,

triple the fun for me and you.

Sports, cards, or a video game.

Fun will be had, all the same.

We may fight but we unite,

our brother bond is that tight.

If you try to mess with me,

you must always mess with three.

I do love my mom and dad,

and having sisters makes me glad.

But this I have to say,

whether we fight or if we play,

if we’re home or at the school,

acting normal or like a fool,

if trouble comes and times seem black,

a brother will always have your back!

In the end, there is no other,

like the love of a brother.

A Fresh New Start

It hurts so much to know that I

Was the one who made you sad.

I never meant to make you cry,

And now I feel so bad.

The time that I spent with you,

Meant more than you can know.

I wish there was something I could do,

Or some way that I could show.

I want to take away your pain,

And heal your broken heart.

Maybe there will come a day

To make a fresh new start.

The Storm

The storm clouds thickened in the sky,

and raindrops splattered in my eyes. 

The wind shook even giant trees.

This was more than a summer breeze.

The waters rose, cities went dark. 

Hell, I considered building an ark.

Days went by, it finally passed.

Just when I thought I may not last.

I ventured out into the newfound sun.

Now that the drenching rain was done.

Mud and twigs as far as I can see, 

But no damage to my house or me.

Some did not fare as well as I.

Sadly, some even tragically died.

To His power, I’ll give a nod. 

That I survived, I do thank God!

The Dreamer Awakes

Rain beat down on the ground,

Lightning flashed all around.

I sat and watched it all in awe,

Wandering mind, slackened jaw.

The storm is filled with such great power,

Chasing people inside, making animals cower.

A storm this size causes great stress,

Lightning and wind creating a mess.

For now, the rain eases my mind,

I slip away from the daily grind.

Slowly drifting off to sleep,

Dreaming dreams, counting sheep.

In my dreams, we all get along,

No death, no war, nothing wrong.

Thunder booms, causing me to wake,

My dream wasn’t real, I begin to shake.

Why can’t peace really be true?

I hang my head, feeling blue.

But a new thought won’t let me be,

Maybe my dreams begin with me.

I’ll live my life to honor the land,

If I see a wrong, I’ll make a stand.

I can’t change everyone’s heart,

But even one will be a start.

Insanity

To be insane, what does that mean?

It’s a label that can’t be seen.

Insane or schizo, weird or lazy,

So many words, it makes me crazy.

Go to the doctor, he’ll give you drugs,

Maybe the shrink will prescribe some hugs.

There are real mental health issues,

That can’t be solved by pills and tissues.

Words like wacky, crazy, or insane,

Do not help, they’re just a pain.

Help and support those in need,

Avoid labels, just do a good deed.

Little Catfish

Little catfish, how you swim,

Changing your name on a whim.

The pics you choose are so neat,

A winning smile that can’t be beat.

It’s too bad that they’re not you,

You make your victims oh so blue.

Little catfish, please go away,

Find somewhere else to swim and play.

Time

Time is such a relative thing,

Depending on what life may bring.

It can move slow, or sometimes fast,

Whether you’re at work or having a blast.

The clock on the wall is not your friend,

You stare at it, the day never ends.

But if you’re out having fun,

You turn around twice, the day is done.

Time moves at its own pace,

Ignoring those hands on its face.

So just put that clock out of mind,

Let the day slowly unwind.

Do those things you need to do,

Don’t let time get away from you.

Whether your day moves slow or fast,

Enjoy each one like it’s your last.

Random Chance

When you gamble, you put your fate

in Lady Luck’s hands, so you wait

for Providence to smile down upon you,

and grant you a random win or two.

A remote chance is all you’ve got.

You better hope those slots are hot!

Be it destiny or a roll of the dice,

to win a fortune would be nice!

Until Eternity

Cold rain, hot skin.

Is it wise to let him in?

Dark clouds, bright eyes.

In your room, the time flies.

Quick pulse, slow kiss,

You’re soon feeling bliss.

Late night, early sun.

Could he be the one?

Innocent look, guilty thought.

In his web, you are caught.

Night is gone, day is here,

He must part but never fear.

Lonely no more, together you’ll be

Happy with him until eternity.

Food

Chew your food but don’t be mean,

close your mouth so it’s not seen.

Taste that fine cuisine,

eat a diet fit for a queen.

Masticate just like a pro,

Take your time, do it slow.

Imbibe some drinks to help digest,

then later on, you can rest.
