Red and green
What can it mean
Red and runny
Now that is funny
Red and yellow
Can be quite mellow
Red and white
Now that is right
Yellow and ****
That can be smart
Yellow and green
What can it mean
Blue and white
It’s  quite the sight
Green and blue
This one’s for you
Red and blue
Another for you
Yellow and long
Might just be wrong
Black and white
That’s quite the sight
Violet and blue
It sticks like glue
Yellow and red
Enough said

A question that so many ask
Is where we soon will go
For we all know that when we're done
To death we all will grow
For leaving is inevitable
Is what we’re meant to do
We come to learn our lessons
And when done then we are through
This life is a gift of many breaths
And when our breathe is at our last
We look upon all we have done
We review our life past
And if good we’ve done then we can say
We have done all we’re meant
We have become much better
And we can look forward to ascent
And if instead we have hurt others
Not given thought to acts
We’ve thoughtlessly hurt others
And fallen through the cracks
Then we’ll go home realizing that
We could have done so much more
We could have made improvements
Right through to our soul core
This gift of life is given
So we can make things right
Discernment and responsibility
We should hold onto really tight
And become the very best
Of who we’re meant to be
To make things better to become
A better side of me
So if death you fear and want to hide
Then heed these words I say
Always practice being kind to all
In love you then will stay
For death is just a passing
A letting go of who we’ve been
And moving on to something better
Our soul we try to clean
And if our job upon this Earth
Was done with vim and vigour
Then your ascent after this life
For sure you can assure

Do you have fear
I’m sure you do
What comes next is your game
If you run away
If hide you do
Then this habit is really lame
For learning to face up to your fear
Is what you need to learn
To think about this fear of yours
And then to take a turn
To do something different than you have in the past
To move right past the fear
To look it in the face and say
What is it we have here
Most fears have come from something past
Something that made us small
So if we can talk to the fear
We will start to understand all
Of course we need to be careful
Of things that make us hurt
But when that feeling present
Is really quite a squirt
Then we can step into our power
And shoo it right away
For when we go right past the fear
Then no longer will it stay
And in it’s place we’ll feel real strong
And now we can do more
Then tremble cry roll in a ball
We can get up from the floor
And know that we are more than that
The fear from which we run
When we stand up tall and face that fear
Then we know that we have won

My tea is slowly steeping and some coffee I’ll soon make
My early morning habits are what I undertake
To make an early morning flow I always do the same
To repeat what I do every day is really my true aim
For when we repeat our patterns they become a part of us
For learning something that we like is really not a fuss
In order to learn to do the same we do it ‘till it’s ok
Eventually the task becomes a part of every day
So if you find something is hard and you really have concern
Then practice daily all the time until the task you learn
It’s the daily practice habit that soon becomes a game
Because what you are doing daily is truly quite the same
I want to learn to read a book or perhaps to meditate
A practice daily will give all you choose to undertake
So heed my words and give it a try and know that you will win
For all you need to win this game is really just to begin

My heart is set on ice cream
But it’s spinach I will eat
For while I know I shouldn’t
Chocolate definitely would be my treat
I’m trying here with all my might
To eat foods that bring me up
It’s the ones with higher calories
On which I prefer to sup
My perseverance is waning
And patience is running low
The chocolate bar is calling
It’s the kale that brings a glow
I know I should be healthy
And eating foods that are right
But my choice right now is limited
So I eat whatever is in sight
I empty all my cupboards
I clean my frig as well
I want a svelter figure
And French fries make me swell
What will it take to keep me on
A regime that is right
My clothes no longer fit me
And my jacket sure is tight
So help me, support me, make me see
That healthy is where it’s at
To set my mind to knowing more
And stop all that back chat
I want to long for vegetables
I want to crave no more
I want to know that eating
Should be more than just a chore
I want to learn to listen
To what my body says to me
I want to exercise with joy
A thinner body to enjoy with glee
I want to let go of all those habits
That keep me from my goal
I want to eat and exercise
And feed my inner soul

We’re looking and we’re seeking
And we truly think we’ll find
The answer to  our questions
Our true self to be defined
We look in many places
And hope others will give us truth
When the answer to all our queries
Is actually in our  youth
Be kind be good don’t run away
Be friendly as you play
Look nice keep clean don’t speak to strangers
And find some time to pray
Please respect others don’t talk when  you eat
Say please and thank you for all
Don’t scrunch don’t shout finish what’s on your plate
Please stand up very tall
So much is asked of us when we are young
We try to do them all
We fidget we forget we balk and shout
And answer nature’s call
To be good is really simple
If we remember these three words
Do good be good be one
And practice these three verbs
For in doing we make changes
In being we understand
The most import lesson is be one
This is the one that God has planned
That we understand that we are all the same
No matter the colour or walk
That we treat each other as truly our own
If we learn to walk the talk
Finding our self means finding other
That’s all a part of the game
To find out that we are more than us
That we are truly all the same
So take your part in the game of life
Walk tall and show your face
For who you are is what we need
It’s all the good lords Grace

Do you ever feel like people talk
They do their blah blah blah
They really don’t know how to stop
They wear me ‘till I’m raw
I block my ears I close my eyes
I try to make them go
But they never even notice
And they make me feel so low
If I could only make them see
That non stop is so crude
They would understand that what they do
Is really kind of rude
I like to talk to people
And hear what they have to say
But non stop blah blah blah
Just has to go away
If they would take a breath or two
It would be kind of nice
The silence in that moment
Would really then suffice
So when you have some things to say
I hope you will hold in
The thoughts that run inside your head
Because silence is truly golden
