young life lost

loss of a young life
it's just so sad
to think of the
grieving mother and dad

I don't understand how
you were here one moment
and gone in the next-
how is that minute spent?

this morning there was a son
and this evening he's gone
to live elsewhere
before our time here is done

worry

worry never really stops
no matter what we try to do
it seems my mind just pops
to any worry out of the blue

can't think or sleep
without the curse
wish the worry would not peep
it's head in every verse

it's here to stay so I've learned
my grandpa even told me so
you never not worry for the kids you've earned
and it sure is hard to go with the flow

endless cycle

when will this cycle end?
it seems to go round
and round again

though they do seem short lived
and maybe fewer between
I'm still grieved

when they flare like they do
I don't know to blame
me or you

but I suspect it takes two
both have some part
inside I'm still blue

and wonder will it end
will we stay this way
or become more a friend?

what are these words?

what are these words?
they seem made up
and I can't find a def
when I go to look them up!

playing the game
what are the rules?
they seem too flimsy
by nearly any school

but I guess I don't mind
since I continue to play
but I feel lazy and cheap
since now I play that way!

brain dead

brain dead
enough said
nothing going on
in my head

thoughts are mush
I need a push
but I guess it's
really not a rush

cyber games with friends

words
hanging
just
playing around

fun
passing
time
frivols abound


time
wasted
away
some think

connected
though
distant
space shrink

a new year

a new year
a new you
a new me

what will it bring
for us, what does it
hold, what will it be?

can we ever achieve
what we really want
to attain

we seem to say it
over and over
and over again

if it's time to renew
let's do it together
and see where it takes us

will it be what we want?
will we reach the goal?
or will the new year claim us?
