My poems are quite simple
I admit that it's true
But it doesn't have to be complicated
For my message to get through

I write about what I see and feel
Almost every day
I try to find the words
To express what I want to say

I like the flowing rhythm
Of the words that rhyme
It's like a sweet melody
I hear it every time

So even though they're simple
I want to make it clear
All the poems I write
Come from my heart and are sincere

Life can be so cruel
I know, I've been a victim of its wrath
I dreamt of riches like a fool
But never found that golden path

I see others that have so much
But it's not envy that I feel
Just wish I had the Midas touch
Wouldn't that be ideal

I don't really have much wealth
But I have some good things on my side
Like my family and my health
And I also have my pride

So life and I will struggle on
I'll give it a run for its money
Not giving up till I've won
And  living in the land of milk and honey

I opened my whole heart to you
You closed yours to me
My love was pure and true
Yours was a festering disease

I was part to blame somehow
I've come to realize
If I knew then what I know now
I never would've believed your lies

I found the best kind of love
While you were being so cruel
I was able to rise above
And stop being a lovesick fool

I reclaimed my self-respect
And saw how much you were lacking
I was tired of your constant neglect
So I sent your **** packing

Out of wearing her shoes, Kaylee gets so much pleasure
They're like her gold and glittery treasure
I hear the sound of her heels as she walks down the hall
I think they're about two or three inches tall

I ask to see her shoes and she sticks out her foot
I give her a compliment and say that their cute
She thanks me with a smile on her face
Then puts her foot down with a sweet kind of grace

I must confess that  I've admired
How she walks in those shoes all day without getting tired
There is no doubt, I've come to see
That those shoes were made for my friend kaylee

Rude people, I've met one or two
They push and shove and they cut in front of you
I'm really shocked by the way that they act
And the courtesy and manners they seem to lack

A simple excuse me, can I get by
Then I wouldn't mind moving and stepping aside
They'll step on your foot and just keep on going
Not a sign of remorse on their face is showing

It just makes me mad that they act this way
But I guess that's the world that we live in today
Rude people are everywhere, what can I do
Except mind my manners and say please and thank you

A sail boat is docked beside the pier
The lapping water is all I hear
I feel the breeze upon my face
I dream of blue skies and open space

To sail the sea without a care
No time for worries, just time to spare
A thought of new adventures crosses my mind
Of all the treasures that I will find

I'll gather stories from far and near
That I'll retell year after year
At night the moon will shine above
And I'll remember those whom I love

A little sadness enters my heart
as from this dream I must depart
I turn away with a slight smile
At least I was free for just a while

Laughter is the best medicine, I've heard it said
So don't take a pill, laugh a little instead
Laugh with the world or laugh at yourself
Laughter isn't a medicine that expires on the shelf

Tell a silly story or a really good joke
You don't know whose laughter your bound to provoke
even a giggle goes a long way
When you're feeling down and are having a bad day

When you don't know what to do, cause your life is a mess
Laugh really loud to deal with the stress
So laughter is the medicine that I recommend
Remember that things workout in the end

Forget the ***** and enjoy the laughter
Then you won't wake up with a hangover the day after
I'll live my life and laugh all I can
Cause I'm laughter's number one fan
