Admit it!

It's not about being able to admit you're wrong it's about being able to admit you're not right.

It's like This

I stand and watch words gather like images in a picture.
As they become clear they seem to find their own way...
and just where they like to be together.

Looking up

There isn't a cloud in the sky today....the blue above is rich and deep in color. It's a morning heat that has a hint of coolness that runs from tree to tree carrying the scent of shade and calm lazy thoughts.

You're Thick

No blood is thicker than love!
Love is thicker than blood!
You gave the order...
love turned to water.

Nothing Was For Free

It's early... in the morning
I'm feeling about you again...
feeling sorry for me again.
I don't want that.

My eyes and bones
have just about had it.
I'm not as young
as I need to be.

I've really tried
but my hole
is getting deeper.
Like so many things,
I made it myself.

I was scared so many times ...
so much that I left it up to you.
I know the truth and how it was
It was never about me being true.

I did everything I could do.
I don't think you ever cared.
I don't think about it now...
how you wanted me somehow.

It wasn't about sharing
or how much it cost.
What about caring?
You didn't and I lost.

This morning I'm feeling
just like I did when I was with you.
I'm a man who gave it all and
you treated me like nothing.

I'm feeling real sorry for me.
What I did to you?
No, sorry for you...
how you needed to see.

Never wrong. That's how you see.
Whatever, I could never do enough.
Still nothing to you forever I'll be.
So simple cause nothing was for free.

Story Time

They listen and laugh out loud... stare at me when I'm serious and if I'm sad. I can jump out of a story and into their faces... startle them and grab them back in. They applaud after each story when I say, "That's it!" What do I feel? I'm not spinning my wheels while I'm spinning my tale. We're all together and on the same page.

Vitamin Words

Life is forgiving... Love is for giving.
In your heart each day...
A little goes a long way.
