Poetry - By The Light of a Candle

By the light of a candle,
I can contemplate life
Take notes
Cross a few things off of my list
Add a new adventure

By the light of a candle
I can dream about my future
Celebrate my past
Put a few things to rest
Relish in the present

By the light of a candle
I can see things clearly
Accepting change
Letting yesterday's shadows play
my past drifting off with the smoke
Into the bright light of promise

Thank a Vet!

If you love being free
Thank a vet.
If you love this land from sea to sea
Thank a vet.

They bravely served,
Give them the thanks they deserve.

If you used your right to vote
Thank a vet.

If you are not under anyone's rule,
Thank a vet
If you have the right to go to school
Thank a vet

They went and answered the call,
Some even gave their all.
So that you could be free.
Thank a vet.

If you love your liberty,
Thank a vet.
All throughout our history
Thank a vet.

For their sacrifice and duty,
For leaving those they love truly,
To make this great country what it is,
Thank a vet.

Thank a vet
Thank a vet
Thank a vet

Beach Day Dreaming

Sometimes I wander,
I let my mind ponder,
And travel far away.
I land on an island,
Just south of Thailand,
With just a guitar to play.

Or I'm the damsel, in distress
In an oh too tight a dress,
With hair beautiful and long.
Waiting on my knight,
And the dragon he must fight
Ending with a lover's first song.

I then fly through the trees,
In the jungle mountain breeze
Clad in a leopard skin suit.
With a monkey by my side,
And an elephant as my guide
And a cute Jack Sparrow to boot.

But something always happens,
and back to the present I'm snapping.
Hearing the sounds of my home.
There's laundry that needs folding,
And the dinner that's already molding
And my mind, wishing it could roam.
