There are people starving on earth today,
As countries, and governments, spend millions,
On experiments, never for sure if their guess,
Is right or wrong in any way.
Global warming, years ago, we were told,
Was caused by spray cans, it faded, as rumors got old.
Planet earth is not completely round, the center a hot ball of fire,
Steel equipment, will start melting, about seven miles, in the ground.
Grass open areas, are natural vents, to relieve, some of the heat,
So much area covered with, buildings, parking lots, highways, and streets,
The fire inside, gets warmer, you can feel it, as you walk on a sidewalk,
The heat under your feet. Each person, cooking,
Heating a home, and putting off body heat, As we circle,
The hot sun, could be a natural reason, why some days, outside,
We feel as if we are on a grill cooking like, a piece of meat.
There will be more studies, most people will deem insane,
In society today, to have a good story today, they have to find,
Or create a reason to point a finger at someone, and say,
They are the one to blame.

Some days, in your life this time,
Seem so long, while others, are over, so fast,
Each day, is one piece of your puzzle,
Are the pieces coming together,
One rule you must always remember,
You can not go back, and relive your past.
Life, is like traveling down a highway,
Watching for places to appear, your mind,
Must always be open, to try new changes,
Often, by habit, not choice, you may feel,
Like you are always stuck in the rear, to advance,
You must have confidence, a, positive attitude, and effort,
Create new positive memories, for the future,
When you stop, and stare into your rear - view mirror.

This life we are living, is made of dream’s,
Some we never notice, as we enjoy the scene.
We can not pick who will share, our dream,
This life was set for us to teach and learn,
Find our purpose, happiness, as we meet our means.
You have to live, by your feelings in side,
If you always keep searching, life can pass you by,
We must remember within our soul, and mind,
We each have a different allotment of time,
We are given special clues and signs,
To discover our purpose, we cross different lines.
This life is made of dreams.

Do you ever feel like,
You are in the wrong life today,
A feeling inside, of yesterday, or tomorrow,
Knowing this is your only chance to play,
When it is over, no more time you can borrow,
Enjoying  the fun times that come your way,
You had tears, in moments of sorrow.

All the memories from those yesterdays,
You remember the good and bad, friends you had,
Situations, you were made a fool,
Other days strutting yourself, so cool,
Always pondering about the next day,
Will you win the big one, or have, to borrow,
Be thankful for those memories, and this moment of time,
There are no refunds, you can not go back to yesterday,
When your ticket expires, there will be no tomorrow.

As every day passes you by,
Do you explore new adventures, to try,
Or you just set in your ways,
Counting down days till you die.
Be honest with yourself,
Do not make up stories, fibs, or lie’s,
Every twenty - four hours,
A day of this life, you put aside,
Try new things, to entertain your mind,
Never be afraid of failure, never be shy.
Your only true happiness, comes from inside of you,
After you discover it,
Love who you are, and say good - by to your blues.
A confident attitude, creates positive ways,
In this life, we each have enough wasted days,
You’re an actor in this life’s play,
Make your part exciting & memorable, use your imagination,
One day we will all just be memories, our parts will exit the stage.

This life is just a onetime passage,
For the soul, inside of you,
It’s not about, how much you have,
Or something you did, or think you can do,
Always, look ahead, when a decision, in in front of you,
What could the outcome be, think, when you pick, or choose.

It is not easy, to discover yourself, today, to many, man - made distractions, in our way,
Many become addictions, they keep you, and your soul, confused, each day,
We are each a part of nature, go out by yourself, pack a lunch, leave cell phone, at home away,
Forget the this, and that’s, and other excuses, you can make up, not to be alone, are you afraid?
Nature is the only thing, around in this life, that is not man made, take time, relax, listen,
Nature does give us messages, of where we are, and guides us, at the perfect time in special ways.
