The Brain

In some people it's quite like
A ball of twine wound so tight

In some people it's all tangled
As if, somehow, by a cat wrangled

It's often under used
And quite easily amused

It's the repository of all we are
And with a little care'll take us far

Genius

Genius applies to
Everyone in some sense, but
Not
In general to
Us all,
So, take the time to find yours!

You Don't...

You
Don't
Have to
Be a wise man
To know which way
The wind's blowing if it's
So strong it knocks you down!

Nausea

Nothing succeeds
At emptying an
Unsettled
Stomach quicker than
Eating
A fatty meal!

And yet

And yet
become knowledgeable
enough to answer questions

Don't

Don't let
what you do
consume you totally
for it will drive some away.

My Rock

I have a rock in my pocket
It's as smooth as can be

It reminds me of God
'cause it comforts me

Happiness

Happiness

is within us all

We just have to nurture it

Time

Time
Is like
Change
It never stops

A Smile

A smile
On the fly
Will multiply

When You're Miffed

When you're miffed
Try a paradigm shift

The Way it Was

If
The
Way
It was
Was like
The way it is
It wouldn't be
That way any more...
Someone would change it!

Family

Family means your brother
Always has your back when
Mom's on the attack, even
If he knows he'll
Lose some privileges... 'cause
You'll do the same for him.

Foible

A foible
Is someone
Elses wierd habit

Cicadas

Cicadas
Are God's
Reminder that
You don't have to be
Big to make a lot of noise!

Preparedness

Pound for pound
Proactive prevention
Beats reactive treatment

The Ideal Life

The
Ideal
Life is
Made up
Of Random
Acts of kindness
Intermigled with
The joy of the receiver

Smile!

A smile takes years off
A frown adds more years on
A scowl usually doubles them all

Every day you have a great choice!

Have you ever?

I say...
Have you
Ever sat mesmerized
In your car, watching raindrops
Racing each other down your windshield?

It's quite relaxing.

Sometimes

Sometimes going with the flow
Means you have to
Paddle harder

Skill

Skill

Plus will

Results in

Jobs well done

Green

Just
When I
Think how
Great green is
I remember I have
To weed the garden!

You know

You know
You're still alive
When your body can
Still carry your mind around

The mind

What you do

With your brain

Develops your mind

Change

Change keeps

The mind sharp

But the brain gets tired

Skill

Skill
Plus will
Results in

Jobs well done

The Best

The Golden Rule
Is still the best tool!

Have you noticed?

Your
Smile is
Reflected on
Other's faces!

Day's End

At

Days End

I just ask myself

Would Mom be proud?

Memories

In the

Archives of the mind

Images are frozen in their time

(my first love is still 7 years old)

Small

We may be small, but
There's a galaxy in our finger tip

Take a close look
And then think about it.

Time

Savor time as it slowly passes:
It wont return for lads or lasses

Sunshine

Sunshine
Is mighty fine

In the dead of winter
When the cold is bitter

Filling me with great joy
Like when I was a little boy

You

The true you
Is way down deep

And mostly doesn't
Let out a peep

But when it does
You'll want to listen...

For sweet advice you'd
Otherwise be missin'!

The Race

In
The
Race
Of life
You really
Don't want
To finish first,
Or not even last!

Humor

Health relies in part
Upon the
Most precious
Of commodities:
Really funny stuff

Man

In a perfect world

A man and his money

Would be well spent

The Best

When the best

Meets the best

The best provides

The best challenge

To the best and

The winner is

The best

****

Butler Bulldogs

Are the best

Challengers

of the year

Your Time

When your time comes...
If you're good with the Guy
Then you're good to go!

The Brain

In some people it's quite like
A ball of twine wound so tight

In other people it's all tangled
As if, somehow, by a cat wrangled

It's often under used
And quite easily amused

It's the repository of all we are
And with a little care'll take us far

The

Friend

Forever
Remembered
In each needful
Event
No matter what
Develops

Beauty

Beauty
May be skin deep
But so is ugly!

Physics and Life

Physics says
That for every action there's
An equal and opposide reaction

Life says
It ain't necessarily so!

Dawn

Dawn creeps so silently
Through the darkest night

Slowly bringing light to
Our sleep impaired sight

Culminating in the radient
And pristinely bright sunlight

Clearing away our nightmares
and the fog of irrational fright

Once again as we slowly awaken
God reassures us we'll be alright

The True You

The true you
Is way down deep

And mostly doesn't
Let out a peep

But when it does
You'll want to listen

For sweet advice you'd
Otherwise be missin!

Any boat in a storm!

Life

Life may be in the little things, but
Don't let them distract you from
The big picture!

The Top

Getting

To the top

Is dangerous.

Most people try

To stand on the top

Rung and they fall off!

Research

The true meaning of the word is:

To find the answer for which you seek
You have to search again and again and again!

Fun

What's fun for one
Is not for everyone

Bleak

When times seem so bleak
Don't let your courage leak
