old photos

going through old photos
and what do you know

reminiscing past days
and remembering old ways

fun looking back, seeing old friends
bringing lots of memories and grins

I haven't cried yet, which I know won't last
cause I always tear up at pictures of the past

choosing a college

getting down to the wire
the time draws near

when you will decide
where to spend the next year(s)

so much to see, so much to do
so much to think about


to organize and arrange
and so much I feel, too


how to get it all together
is nearly beyond me

but I hope and pray that
God will guide you to see

just what is right, just what is best
and we will have to leave to Him all the rest...

spring break

spring break comes to a close
everyone's tired, as the
fading light grows

kids outside, yelling
living up the last day
all thoughts dispelling

that in a short time
they will resume studies,
chores, and back to the prime

source of their bane,
though necessary it be
they will likely all gain

a new appreciation for
the summer break and all
it has in store

monotony

over and over
again and again
one day repeats
and repeats again

over and over
again and again
when do you think
this circle will end?

another rhyme

it's time
for another rhyme

how do I find
a word I have in mind

to say just what I want to say
and put down a thought for the day

just type whatever comes to thought
and hope that it makes sense when sought

saving money

people talk all the time
of ways to save
a nickel and dime

while saving money is
important, some tricks
seem to miss the prime

way to save; it's not
to cut the cable package-
but to do without all the time

don't eat out, don't spend
so much, that seems to make
more sense in the meantime

forced rhyme

what to do
when out of rhymes

is it worth it
to spend the time

just to make sure
that each line

has the right meter
to follow the chime
