You pay your dues
Some still owe
You know what payback can be
One day at a time even that feels like months and years
Perhaps with a different tune or melody
You accept what you can't change
We can write volumes on that alone
Knowing change will be a constant companion
Even though it is it your nature, you must put yourself first
Without this,you are no help or good to anybody else
Still learnng that
work in progress
Being yourself is more than okay
To the Princes and Princesses out there we will let go of those that wish to rearrange the status quo for those unlike them
Those in your corner will cheer you on and it goes two ways.
One way streets are dead ends
It has taken time for this easier spirit to emerge but she has

Rainy days and Mondays no longer get me down
Sorry Richard and the late Karen Carpenter
Snow and ice get me down
They are pretty but get in the way and are hazardous
Sorry skiers and skaters
Naysayers may not apply or get in the way of what matters
What matters is doing the very best possible
Doing the right thing when the wrong thing is easier a taste
that completely disagrees with me
My heart is on a page and one that I author
Some will never open it
Too much has happened
Too many last said goodbyes
Rainy days and Mondays no longer get me down

Henry David taught me well
Hiking on Walden Pond brought it forward
Nature and her children sing and frolic
The thunder and lightning and storms worn us she us a force to be reckoned with
Enjoy the sky,the wind
,waterways,oceans,predators and prey
As you sit in awe and enjoy the vistas and bounty
Remember we should care ,protect,and  respect everything around us
Not only should you sing her songs
Stand up and standby her always

Only three today
Sometimes they work together
Others separate but aligned in a galaxy we have yet to encounter
A positive democratic world in which we live as caring human beings
Is this a dream that won't come true
Ask that Orange colored clown and the January militia he rules
Does everybody have a different truth and kindness
Even Bill Maher has a negative view of the future
Some live in fear like chicken little the sky is falling
They are afraid of their own shadows
Are we so imbalanced after two years of uncommon ground?
We are so out of whack and can't come back better than before?
We can't have a conversation
We forgot how to think,share,and listen
Some live in yesterday
Some today
While others hope they have a tomorrow
History is repeating the sixties
John Lennon lyrics ring true
For me,aspire higher and creatively use my imagination for the greater good of one nation

When you love somebody enough to share your life with them
Sometimes despite and inspire of how you feel
You do whatever is necessary to make that special one,your life partner happy
It isn't easy and you have to ignore those well meaning comments and not so well-wishes
You hold your tongue
You smile when you want to cry
You are going to do whatever it is for him or her
If they breathe it,you make it happen for them
Don't make promises you can't keep
Compromise

The Beach was vast
Velvet sky kissed the diamonds
She ran till he gently broke her fall
He was the blanket
She was the pillow
The ocean their lullaby
Until night turned into morning

Don't cry because it’s over
Smile because it happened
No matter the loss of a dear one or something else
Don't just let it go set it free
Keep the memory in your heart
The ache has to subside
It is in its place
You can move on and set it free and yourself
