The BiG APPLe

 

The big

Apple

I have gotten a taste of the big apple

On my tongue its flavor lingers longer than I thought it would

I am totally surprised by the sweetness of the big apple

Why not come and try taking a bite of the appetizing big apple


It’s rosy its red its aroma will go to your head

It will excite your eyes so enticing it so very nice

It will steal your senses and take you to paradise

A bite of the big apple will work wonders for you


Come and take, why wait come and take a bite of the big apple

There’s more than enough for the world including you

You will be mesmerized by the sweetness of the big apple

It’s worth your while to try a bite of the big apple


Rosy and red it aroma will go to your head

Sink your teeth deep into it experience its exquisite sweetness

Its flavor on your tongue you will savor forever

Quit longing to take a taste do it bite into the big apple


You will love it the moment you bite into it

Bite into it sink your teeth deep into the big apple

Bite into the big apple ask Lady Liberty permission to

With her permission bite into her big apple.

With New York in mind.

 

With New York

In mind

I am leaving New York

With New York in mind

Because of circumstances beyond my control

I am forced to be leaving New York behind


Whenever I am away from New York

New York is forever on my mind

How tremendously it pains me to leave New York behind

I am planning to be back in New York in no time


I am leaning New York

With New York heavily on my mind

Because of circumstances beyond my control

I am forced to be leaving New York behind


Whenever I am away from New York

Forever New York is forever on my mind

How terribly it pains me leaving New York behind

Back in New York I will be in the blink of an eye


Reluctantly I am leaving New York

Am leaving New York with New York on my mind

Leaving New York with New York on my mind

Am leaving New York.

Springing into

 

Springing

Into life

We are springing into life as the sun begins shining

All winter long inside by the fireside we have been hiding

Now that spring began bursting into a new beginning

In our steps we put some pep and into life we are springing


It feels wonderful feeling the warmth of the sun shining

Winter is retreating like a shadow into the background

How quickly it’s fading soon only a memory it will remain

With anticipation we are basking in spring’s sunshine


We are springing into life as the sun begins shining

All winter long inside by the fireside we are tired of hiding

It’s a new beginning now that spring finally began bursting

In our steps we put some pep and into life we are springing


It feels wonderful feeling the warmth of the sun on our faces

Like a mirage into the distance quietly winter’s fading

Spring is blooming as beautifully as a rose unfolding

We are basking in spring and summer we are anticipating


Into life we are springing as spring is beginning

We are springing into life smiling dancing singing laughing

Oh what a lively feeling we are springing into life

Springing oh yes we are springing into life.

Put on a winning


 Put on a winning

Face

Chin up Put on a winning face erase that frown

No reason to go around looking so glum

Why are you thinking of quitting the race

Change your face the race can still be won


Chin up Put on a winning face that frown turn it upside down

Smile think of holding that trophy in your hands

At the moment you may be down you are not yet out

Chin up buckle down and get it done


Chin up Put on a winning face erase that frown

Aimlessness and illusions no longer chase

Choose an objective and fix your eyes on your target

With a winning face your target you will hit


Chin up Put on a winning face it is somewhere around

Find it wherever it has been misplaced

Without a winning face you have already forfeited the race

Claim first place change your attitude put on a winning face


Put on a winning face make haste

So what if you are way down in the bottom of the eight

In the ninth if you want you can hit a home run

Put on a winning face head for home plate


Don’t keep your face in that state

Right now do it, put on a winning face

From your face evert trace of a loser eliminate

Put on a winning face.

To Dare MIGHTY Things

If  one dares to dare mighty things, becomes aware of

acknowledges but never surrenders to one's fears ,then the mighty things one dares

with courage one will accomplish.
