Nineteen was awhile ago but I remember
You might have been younger but it does not matter
Just one look and you are forever changed
Slightly deranged
Your wiring misfires
You want that person so badly even if tbey don't know you are alive
You loose control.
You know your role and goal
The cold shower just won't do
To your own self be true
Or do you do exactly what you want to do with you know who?
He wanted to be friends

Not hear
Not in one ear and out the otner
Not interrupting
That is all it takes sometimes
You don"t utter a word
Did you listen?

Hopefully, it is once in a lifetime
That is the kind you want
A gift that keeps giving
What we have
You always surprise me
The moments that are endearing and cherished
Love songs almost get it right
You know your lyrics come from photographs and memories
You celebrate each other daily
No matter your significant other or partner
A band of gold is circular and never ending
The highs and lows are easier when two hearts share it
Could you be loved more?
My darling,I doubt it
Dedicated to my Howie always

Neil sang clearly and strongly
About a place I knew
Even though I am younger than he is
The streets called out
The borough came alive like it used to be once more
Though I attended college there
Lived and worked there
Moved away long ago
When I  hear Brooklyn Roads
I return no matter where I might be now

Middle class philanthropist recognizes those with warped sense of priorities
Namely the wealthy
Maybe that should go unsaid
Beyond their comprehension
Do riches cloud their point of view?
Are they that deranged?
One stroke of a pen could change negatives to positives.
Make a life come alive and fruitful
An average woman could have flown into space with those celebrities.
Jeff could afford a freebie and changed the future of women and space exploration
Science would
have greater dimensions
No matter your passion and bank account reach out to help this world
Many need help
Take the first step

Respect creatures great and small
You are not above all,
You are part of them.
A geeat community called Earth
Care and kindness go a very long way
Many song lyrics have their cliches, but this time
Reaching out to the hearts and minds out there
No matter what you can do to walk with Mother Nature and the planet
Please do it
The cost outweighs so much more
Can you imagine never seeing a monarch butterfly again?
Sorry that is not happening
Make the changes so Earth Day is everyday

My heart has been broken so many times
Surprised it is still beating
Stepped on and rejected
Bounced back in time and with good advice
Nobody listened
They were too busy rejecting who was different
Their listening skills were nil
No need to give them an answer
Just went forward on bumpy roads
Now the skills that were lacking are slowly there but I trust few
When you are hurt and used you build a big wall
My moment in time is now as I do what I want to do and have people cheering me on my journey
A little late but here goes something
