I had a talk with myself today
Hoping to find a much better way
To cope with life and its ups and down
Learn to be happy and lose your frown
Take a moment and rethink your goal
Deep down inside your heart and your soul.
Be slow to anger, avoid the strife
Try to be pleasant most of your life
Remember the Lord, He is your strength
And is with you for all your life’s length !
The world today is lacking trust
We take our joys where e’er we must
The hours all seem to melt away
As do the weeks and everyday.
Time flies with wings so swift and fleet
As strangers stroll by on each street
With neither nod nor passing word
No single thought there to be heard.
This lonesome place within the mind
Where memories we’ve left behind
Too late do seek that compromise
Where all one’s dreams are realized !
I do love happy endings, yes I truly do
That is when our dreams really could be coming true
It is the time for joy and happiness replete
The stars begin to shine and all the world seems sweet
I like to work with others, help them feel the same
Try to be realistic, manipulate no game.
Sometimes we cannot help if dreams do go astray
We simply need to pause to cast our fears away
For God will still be there, He knows how much we care
He feels our deepest pain when no one’s left to share
He helps us to remember what life’s all about
Seeking our happy ending ere time should run out !
I hear the echoes from the street
Of hasty and retreating feet
Some voices carry on the breeze
And filter through the veil of trees.
Those sounds that do survive the night
Will disappear in morning’s light
The world awakes both old and young
When daybreak comes, the night time’s done !
We little know or can surmise
What fate will bring or life surprise
Each day begins with a clean slate
That offers chance upon its plate.
A new beginning one and all
The chips of life await the call
But who will win or who will lose
I do not know who gets to choose.
Enough to say I cannot bear
Too many times life is not fair !
The madness of this world we see
Leads us close to infinity
Could be that war is imminent
This is the thing we must prevent.
Let’s pray to find another way
Not black or white but shades of gray
There needs to be a middle road
Some method used to share the load.
It’s time for us to stand up tall
Accept the blame before the fall
Learn how to shoulder our fair share
Tis now to show how much we care !
The childhood dreams we tuck away
To wait upon a latter day
When life and time will both comply
Enables us to make a try !
While seeming lost a way was found
To keep our feet upon the ground
There learn to seek a worthy cause
That earns results and not applause !
The simple fact that we shall find
It does not help to act unkind,
And in the end as time runs out
There is no sense to cry or shout,
For who can hear the silent scream
Of one who lusted for a dream ?
In this world full of people I’m thinking perhaps
The intelligent move to avoid all the traps
And nestle away in some contented disguise
Might be the direction to foil any reprise.
I’m afraid we’re remiss in our casual ways
And are earning the harvest of our reckless days
It’s a cumbersome load that we carry too fast
T’would be better to learn from mistakes of the past.
