If I Will Have Time
Oh brain
take a note
Call Jenny soon about the party next weekend
What else do I have to do
I know I’m forgetting something
I’ll have to get groceries soon
One slice of cheese ane a half a jar of pickles
will not last me a week
Paycheck Friday
What should I make
for dinner tomorrow night
This house needs cleaning
Think
Damn
I need a vacation
I wonder
if I’ll have time
to sleep tonight

Spring
Spring
Hundreds of
Daffodils
in a
sunburst
of colors
Waving
Back
and
forth
in the
gentle
breeze
that cools
everything
under the
sun
the sun
shining
brighter
than ever
before
the world
is walking
up
after a
dormant
six month
sleep
it is the
first
morning
of
a
new
season
spring

What Are Those Noises In The Dark
What are those noises in the dark
that we hear in the night time
just before sleep
Are they ghosts under the bed
Are they bogeymen in the closet
Or is it the sandman opening your door
or is it the tooth fairy lifting your pillow
Maybe it’s just
a restless dog
howling in the night
Yet you seem to hear unknown footfalls
tapping at the ground with eerie creaks
Yet you seem to hear a rustling of curtains
even though there is no breeze
Maybe those noises are only your imagination
Maybe

It’s You
I loved my soft quilt blanket
When I was only two
But you see, the reason for that was
I never had known you
I had al ittle teddy bear
at the age of four
I loved the bear with all my life
But now I love you more
I loved my rusty bibycle
When I had just turned seven
But now I feel when I’m with you
That I have gone to heaven
I have aged since the younger days
I’ve had a chance to grow
And now it’s no longer things that joy to me brings
It’s you that I love so

Get Me Through My Life
there was a time tonight
when i thought you would come up to me
and act like you had never met me before
and well, i did not know what else to say
and so i did the same
it is strange to be in a place you have not been to before
because i think that when i see something familiar
and then see something different
it is at times like that
when i try to come up with stories in my head
to get me through the days and get me through my life
