My Vote?

 

           My vote

If I give you my vote

What will you be giving me in return

If I give you my vote and you won tell me

Will you honor you promise and give me good representation

Will you be available can I count on you

Will you return calls or will you give me the run around

Will you be honorable and do as you said you will do

Will I have to search for you will you leave me in the lurch

If I give you my vote

What are you willing to provide for me in return?

My vote give me reasons why you think you deserve my vote 

I am open convince me why it’s imperative that I give you my vote

To me my vote is valuable I don’t invest it thoughtlessly 

Are your promises illusions mere mirages in the distance?

Can I bank on your promises are they words of substance

Do you stand on your word will they withstand the test of time 

Election alert candidates it’s my vote if you want my vote

Tell me what you got will it be worth my while to give you my vote

Mister Mrs. and Miss Candidate you got my undivided attention!

The race is on my vote is available to the deserving applicant

The candidate that reasonably answers my questions gets my vote.

Yesterday's News

                       Yesterday’s news

They were saying we are yesterday’s news

Now like a phoenix from the ashes we rose

They were saying to history our memory is confined

We are back on top and like the stars we shine

They thought that time had left us behind

Now here we stand with the future firmly in our hands

They thought we were past tense now we are trending 

We occupy the leading edge and they are astounded 

They were saying we are yesterday’s news

Across all media platform now we are in our renaissance 

The proof of our revival they all can freely peruse

It was indeed premature that new they had of our demise

They thought we were destined for the scrap heap

They did not notice our inner strength and survival instinct

They thought we were crows in reality we are eagles

They were saying we are from a bygone era that’s and error

Contrary to what they say we are in command of the future

They were saying we are write offs that’s a misnomer

We say we got the right stuff

Our era it’s the future

they say we were yesterday's news now on the frontlines

on the headlines we stand  predominate.

Do what you LOVE

 

                    Do what you love

Do what you love, love what you do

It’s the essential ingredient for a life of contentment 

Its paramount find your passion and never work again

With your passion your need of a job becomes non- existent 

It’s important to do what you love

Loving what you do is extremely important also

You don’t need inspiration when passion moves you

Loving what you do gives you a built in dynamo

Do what you love, love what you do

With this formula one becomes unstoppable

You will mold a whole new world it’s true

When you discover what you love to do you are free

Never work another day in your life

Your only job is doing what you love 

When you know and does what you love

Living becomes a lifetime of love

Do what you love, love what you do   

Feel free to do what you love, and love what you do

Do what you love, love what you do.

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.
