At Myself

 

At myself in the mirror

At myself in the mirror I winked my eyes

Looking picture perfect with myself I am so satisfied

I congratulated myself and gave myself a high five

Myself I also gave myself a big, big, broad smile

Don’t know when I stopped all I know is

Again I have started liking myself taking myself in stride

I am liking myself again and liking myself feels fine

I had forgotten how to begin liking myself

At myself in the mirror I like the image that caught my eyes

Looking picture perfect with myself I was pleasantly surprised

Giving myself a high five I congratulated myself

Myself I just had to give myself a big, big broad smile

In my mind I have started telling myself

I am healthy I am wealthy and like an owl I am wise

To my surprise my life is daily becoming as I prophesied

Liking myself is the only way in which I am living my life

Smiling at myself in the mirror I gave myself a high five

If you are being hard on yourself forgive yourself

Give yourself a reprieve sigh you deserve a second chance

Like yourself with yourself smile give yourself a high five

At myself in the mirror I blew a kiss just enjoying this life.

Double YOU.

 

The FIRE

 

                                  The fire next time

Next time when the fire starts she said the fire next time

The fire will be rising higher burning brighter flaming longer

It will be much hotter than it’s ever been and there won’t be

There won’t be any water right now the fire’s only flickering embers

The fire next time she will be starting will be a barn burner

It will leave you nowhere to hide or run for cover

It will burn deeper it will be hot like plasma you will feel

It will be a searing scorcher you will feel her fire

The fire next time she said it will be rising higher

Burning brighter flaming forever an uncontrollable fire

There won’t be any water out of control her fire will burn

Her fire this time is waning embers and it simmers

The fire she will be starting next time next time she starts fire

She will leave you nowhere to run and hide from her fire

It will burn deeper it will be hot like plasma you will feel

You will feel it in your soul as you burn, burn, burn.

The fire next time will be a fire like no other it will be unbearable

This time thank your lucky stars you caught her off guard

Next time the fire next time she will be starting will be

The fire next time you will beg her to out the fire next time

She said you will beg her to out the fire next time.

One hit wonder

 

One hit wonder

We are no one hit wonder

We got staying power

From the moment we entered

We have been charting forever

We are in love with music

Our passion fuels our romance

Nothing can come between us

Music and us we belong together

We are no one hit wonder

For staying on the music charts

We got our secret formula

On the music charts we aim to stay forever

We are in love with music

Our hearts overflows with its passion

Between us and music there’s no separation

We belong to music and music is our passion

No one hit wonder

We are we are no one hit wonder.

Lips Service

 

                     Lips service

They are always paying lips service

They are babes in arms when it comes to action

They are always missing in action when its action time

They can talk until forever comes and never take action

They are Jacks of all trades in their own mind

When its action time they are nowhere to be found

They are illusive dreaming armchair professional

They are professional paperweights when it comes to action

They are always in a hurry to provide lips service

They are babes in arms when challenged by action

Quick with their tongue lethargic with their action

They are like an announcer at a broadcast station

They are jack of all trades in their own mind

When it comes to action they need an all point bulletin

They are illusive dreaming armchair professional orators

Rocking their easy chair it’s the hallmark of their action

They are always busy providing lip service

Perpetual talking stagnant action

Action is a service that’s forever occupying their minds

Illusive dreaming professional orators

No achievement do they realize.

Family Day

 

Family day

We will be getting together on family day

Enjoying each other’s company we will be feasting

We will be singing and dancing and we are going to play

It will be great we will have fun getting together on family day

Every day we are busy going our own way

When family day comes around we got to be here

Keeping our family close to us we make the effort

Without family that care what is life really can you tell me

We will be getting together on family day

It’s wonderful being with family from near and far away

We can’t wait to get acquainted with new family members

It will be great getting together on family day

Every day we are busy going our own way

We do our best to be here when family day come around

It is worth every effort we make to keep our family close

Family is very important always deserving our attention

We will be getting together on family day

We will be expecting everyone see and be here

Family day make a date and be here.
