Garden

You turn the ground over
you look through your seeds to plant
you choose the right one
you plant it
you water it
you nurture it
watching it grow
you pull any weeds that start to grow
you watch it grow bigger and bigger
slowly you see the reward
after all that love, dedication, sweat you put in
the garden rewards you

How does your garden grow

Shoes

Big ones, small ones
many colors, or just plain black
high up or flat to the ground
leather, cloth
fancy, sporty
soft, hard
made to get *****, made to look pretty
some that tie up, some that slip on
made to flop, made to keep you warm
You may walk a million miles in shoes
But nobody walks in the same pair

Door Mat

I sit at the your doors for you to wipe your feet on
You run across with without care
I get ***** from your filthy abuse
You wash me, dry me, lay me back down
But for what?
For you to ***** me again
The life of a door mat
To catch your filth and not to care
Just think one day I will not be there

Steps

Left, right, left , right, left, right
add a 1/4 cup if this and a cup of that
clear the land, smooth it out, mark the ground to be built
you must do that to do that
Left, right, left, right
stir the dry before you add the wet
lay the rebar, pour the concrete
after you have do that now do this
left, right, left

Knocking

Knock, knock there is a rapping at the door
You just sit there
Knock, knock again there is it
You still just sit there
You wonder who is it
You get up look out the door
More knocking this time louder
Who is, who is you ask
Louder and louder
The knocking still goes on
You open the door
That was the opportunity
You just go back to doing what you did before

Your Words

Its a slash here
a stab there
A cut here
a shot there

You let them go like Niagara Falls
Rushing fast, furious , out of control
Sweeping me down , drowning me

You have no care how they come
You just let them fly

But your words will haunt you
They are your words

These are Just Words

******, *******, ***, ****
They strike anger into us
What are they just words
Worthless, stupid, idiot
They make us feel like a *******
What are they just word

Make you feel
Make you hate
Make you smell
Make you taste

Bring you back to memories of good
Bring you back to memories of bad

In the end all they are just Words
We let the littlest words
We let the biggest word
Control Us

But all they are just **Word
