~ SOLUTUDE ~

I love the time that I spend alone
For I enjoy my own company
When I am alone I can unwind
From the many stresses of the day
Being by myself recharges me
Then with renewed energy, I am good again

~ AGING ~

Yesterday we were young, today we have greatly aged
We can’t hide or run from it…it comes to all of us
It’s important not to think the word “old”
Keep a positive mental outlook and do our very best
Stay fit and healthy, that will surely help us a lot
To ride the waves of aging, and to be able to enjoy the ride

~ SUNSHINE ~

Sometimes we take Mr. Sun for granted
He is usually above us all the time
Do we stop, to appreciate what he does
Because…we really miss him when he is hidden

~ SUFFERING ~

We all go through our times of suffering
Sometimes it can purify and refine us
We also can learn great lessons from it
Like who we are and who we can become...written by CL

~ TIME ~

What do we do with our time each day
How do we spend each minute, each hour
Do we waste it, and think nothing of it
Do we treasure it and do all the good we can

~ GOING TO THE GYM ~

Why is it so hard for me
To get motivated to go and exercise
I know that it is good for me
And I feel better when I do
But golly that extra boost I need
Doesn’t seem to happen easily...written by CL

~ THE MANY WAYS OF FEEL ~

I had my feelings hurt…
How do I feel about the new neighbor…
Feel how soft this fabric is…
I feel a pain in my hand….
The air feels damp…
I feel very happy….
I feel like I am being judged….
I feel the need for change…
I feel chilly…
I feel her sadness….

~ TEARS ~

There are tears of happiness and sadness
And tears of pain and misery
But oh how precious is the friend
Who, by your side, sheds them with you
...written by CL

~ MOVIES ~

I call myself a movie nut
I just love, love, love them
They relax and take me to La-La-Land
Where I can forget my problems for awhile
