Life waits for no one,
We can talk the talk versus walking the walk,
Why live with fear,
Things happen to people everyday,
...

Life doesn't always play out like we want it to,
People are afraid to ask for help,
It's not until you experience hardship then you see the world with fresh eyes,
Imagine if you couldn't walk,
...

I don't know reader what you are going through,
You are crying,
Your pain is weighing heavily on you,
You have no place to go,
...

I'm holding on for dear life,
I just sit here in my chair flying a kite,
People get to run around,
I just want to feel the wind in my face and hair,
...

Kids are scared to be called down to the principals office,
Better get that silly grin off your face,
You don't know weather the principal is your pal or your worst nightmare,
Kids are normally in hot water when they are called down to their office,
...

There are two types of soldiers,
The brave soldiers,
And the ones that need to be wound up,
A soldier that is a toy must be walking on their mechanical legs when they suddenly decide to wine down,
...

Bad news blues
Evil takes over,
I blame social media,
People copy what they see from Tv.
...

The world is changing so fast,
Where's the proof of your love,
If only you were real and not made up,
You probably would put a arm around everyone you would meet,
...

Book bags are essential for school,
I don't care what grade you're in,
The key to success is a well balanced breakfast so that every person can concentrate on their work,
But too many kids come with their tummies growling like a bear,
...

Life can be hectic sometimes,
You don't care where it takes you,
You just need to get away,
You might want to climb up a mountain,
...

I don't blame you for what I'm saying here and now,
I'll be terrorized by the fact that you are with her and not with me,
I find myself writing poetry about you,
I can't help it,
...

Who in their right mind would get close to snapping turtles? ,
I wouldn't,
They might be small but they have a big set of teeth,
It's better to leave wildlife alone.
...

Flowers are a good sign,
White is replaced by green,
Animals return and poke their heads out,
People can read outside again,
...

I write about everything under the sun,
None of us have the power to make our lives into a movie,
I wish I had a magic wand to read people's minds,
But most often we don't even get the chance to do that because a heavy downpour might spring up from out of nowhere,
...

Lonely nights crying myself to sleep,
A aching heart yearning for something more,
I hope that God will give me a sign,
If only the stars would align,
...

Reading music
I don't understand how to read music,
The notes just swim around on the page to me,
I like music,
...

Winter has gone on for too long,
Kids are driving you crazy being stuck in the house,
The weather is changing flowers are replacing the snow,
Spring is the perfect time to read a book in a bed of roses,
...

Flowers are the best part of weddings,
Spring is the perfect time for rain,
March is the beginning of the spring season,
People can't predict the weather,
...

One,
What's to be done about the situation if there's only one person who is involved,
A fire will just keep growing and then more people will lose their lives,
Police officers can't do their jobs without a sidekick because they have to drive and someone else is watching to make sure they don't escape from their handcuffs,
...

Until it's taken away
I wish I knew what it feels like to run,
Other people do,
I wouldn't wish tragedy upon anyone,
...
