[ As The Sun Rises In The Morning There Are All
Kinds Of Possibilities In Front Of Me ]
[ But What Would The Obstacles Be? ]
[ Will They Be Obvious To See? ]
[ Or Would I Have To Hear ]
[ If They Are Near? ]
[ Most Obstacles Are Not Seen ]
[ Until It Is Too Late ]
[ That Is One Reason That You Will Never Have A
Clean ]

[ One Day Is Over, But There Is Always Another One
Right Behind It ]
[ So You Could Never Relax One Little Bit ]
[ Each Day Has Its Own Challenges ]
[ & Its Own Checks & Balances ]
[ But Trust ]
[ Is A Must ]

I Am A 62yrs Young Man, That Just Enjoys Writing Short Poetic Stories From My Thoughts. I Hope That You Enjoy Them As Much As I Do Writing Them.
(716)▪︎[ Thanks Dani … 5•22•2019 ]
[ Dani Came To Work With Our Son About A Month Or
So Ago ]
[ The Question Is Always (WILL SHE BE ABLE TO REACH &
WORK WITH OUR SON?) ]
[ Well You Just Never Know ]
[ You’d Think She Would Take It Slow ]
[ Well … That Would Be A (NO) ]
[ After Meeting Her, The Longer We Stayed ]
[ & Talked With Her That First Day ]
[ The Better Impression She Made ]
[ Sometimes After Talking With Someone For The First
Time You Get The Impression That They Are A Charmer ]
[ Then As Time Goes On ]
[ You Find Dents In Their Armor ]
[ Dani Was Honest & Down To Earth ]
[ She Has Definitely Proved Her Worth ]
[ She Parked Her Car On The Street ]
[ & She Came Into Our House ]
[ & Jumped In With Both Feet ]
[ Her Style Is Not To Come In Timid Like A Mouse ]
[ No, Her Style Can’t Be Beat ]
[ She Is There To Work With Our Son ]
[ Not Sit Down & Put Up Her Feet ]
[ & Expect Us To Supply Her With Stuff To Eat ]
[ She Has Our Son Cleaning This & That While Doing
Work In Our Yard ]
[ He Would Complain That Yard Work Is Too Hard ]
[ Dani Always Gives Her Best ]
[ Therefore She Expects Nothing Less ]
[ To Give Back To Her ]
[ She Knows What She Is Doing ]
[ & She Is Confident & Sure ]
[ & We As The Parents ]
[ Feel Certain That Her Intentions Are Honest & Pure ]
[ She Handles Situations With Our Son While Staying Calm &
With A Smile ]
[ Our Son’s Outbursts Are Never Able To Turn Her Dial ]
[ She Has Her Own Unique Style ]
[ She Has Accomplished The Hard Task Of Getting Our Son Some
Exercise Outside @ Least Two Of Her Four Days ]
[ Our Son Is Stubborn ]
[ But She Has Her Persuassive Ways ]
[ She’s Patient, Calm & Even Keeled ]
[ This Seems Easy For Her ]
[ Because It’s Not Like She’s Making Our Son Reinvent The
Wheel ]
[ In Everything She Has Our Son Do He Has A Choice ]
[ Pick Choice (A) Or Pick Choice (B) ]
[ She Let’s Him Use His Voice ]
[ In Choosing What Comes Next ]
[ She Makes A Point To Check In With Me Every Night ]
[ She Tells Me How Their Day Went ]
[ Since Most Of Their Day Is Out Of My Sight ]
[ In This Kind Of Career ]
[ You Need To Find Out Real Clear ]
[ On Whether You Got (IT) Or Not ]
[ Well Dani’s Style & Personality Has (IT) Right On The Dot ]
[ We Couldn’t Ask For Someone Better Than What We’ve Got ]

(128)▪︎[ What Is It? … 2•9•2020 ]
[ Isn’t It About Time ]
[ That You Stop Messing Around ]
[ & Give Me A Sign ]
[ When I See What Is ]
[ I’ll Blow You A Kiss ]
[ & I’ll Put You @ The Top Of The List ]
[ & I’ll Make You My Biggest Wish ]
[ That I Hope Will Come True ]
[ So I Can Be With You ]
[ We Need To Get Around All Those Roadblocks ]
[ Of Signs That Say (DO NOT ENTER) ]
[ Because Of All The Doors That Are Locked ]
[ I’ll Climb Fence After Fence ]
[ Go Through Door After Door ]
[ To Make You See, That This All Makes Sense ]
[ They Will See That You ]
[ Want To Be With Me, Too ]
[ Because Through All The Years ]
[ I’ve Paid My Dues ]
[ Tell Me All What’s On Your Mind ]
[ All The Words ]
[ On Every Line ]
[ Come In & Keep Me Warm On Those Dark Cold
Nights ]
[ When The Walls Close In ]
[ & Puts My Mind In The Mode Of Fight Or Flight ]
[ Long Ago I Found That You Are The Spark ]
[ That Lights My Fire ]
[ You Are Not Like The Dark ]
[ Or A Liar ]
[ How Can We Make This Happen ]
[ I’ll Close My Eyes ]
[ Then Count To Ten ]
[ & It Will Be Just The Two Of Us ]
[ Escaping In The Dark On A Bus ]
[ Never To Be Seen Again ]
[ This Was Today ]
[ & That Was Then ]

(126)▪︎[ To Our Wonderful Jess … 2•6•2022 ]
[ Oh I Have To Say ( JESS … ) ]
[ (BECAUSE OF THESE FEW LAST YEARS … ) ]
[ (YOU HAVE TURNED INTO ONE HOT MESS!) ]
[ When It Is Your Turn To Clean The Whole Kitchen ]
[ Get In There & Stop Your Bitchin’ ]
[ When Your Roommates Look All Around ]
[ & Look @ The Food Trail That You Have Left
On The Ground ]
[ When It Comes To Be Your Week To Clean ]
[ You Are NO WHERE To Be Seen ]
[ Maybe You Have Been Hiding In That Room Where
That Awful Smell Is Emenating From ]
[ Sometimes When I Walk By Your Room ]
[ I Wish That I Had The ‘VID, Because Then My Sense Of
Smell Would Be Numb ]
[ But It Is Not, So That Is The Problem From What I
Can See & Smell ]
[ Whenever I Walk By Your Room, It Puts My Nose
Through Hell ]
[ You Were Told Not To Overload The Washer @
Least Twice ]
[ If You Would Have Listened ]
[ That Would Had Been Nice ]
[ But Then … Look What You Did! ]
[ You Made A Huge Mess, Then Went Into Your Dark
Hole & Hid! ]
[ When You Cleaned Up YOUR Mess, What Did You Use? ]
[ OH Ya, Nothing ]
[ Because You Refused! ]
[ When Are You Moving So We Could All Be Rid Of Your
Issues & Problems Down South? ]
[ Where Someone Else Can Deal With You ]
[ & Listen To The Garbage You Spew ]
[ Out Of Your Mouth ]
[ So … Can We All Chip In To Get ]
[ One, One-Way Ticket? ]
[ Yet? ]

(132)▪︎[ It Was A Good One … 2•10•2021 ]
[ Damn, That Was Going So Well ]
[ & Then The ‘VID ]
[ Shot That To Hell ]
[ I Had A Really Good Thing Going There ]
[ & Now They Have No More Magazines To Share ]
[ It Built-Up My Collection By Doubling It’s Size ]
[ & Now Because Of The VID ’19 ]
[ That Whole Agreement Died ]
[ It Was Really Clear ]
[ That Was One Of The Best Things About Coming
Up Here ]
[ She Was Kind Of Short With Me When I Asked ]
[ I Am Glad That She Couldn’t See My Displeasure ]
[ That I Was Hiding Behind This STEELERS Mask ]
[ I Wanted To Ask ( WHAT? & WHY? ) ]
[ They Have No Idea How Hard They Are To Find ]
[ & How Expensive They Are To Buy ]
[ So I Refrained From Saying Something Snide ]
[ & I Did A Good Job To Hide ]
[ My Disappointment Of It All ]
[ I Guess That Nullifies The Reason To Look For A Florist Up Here
To Give A Call ]
[ I Used To Want To Give Them Flowers As A Big Thank You ]
[ So I Guess That Puts A Check In Another Box ]
[ Of Something On My List That I Won’t Have To Do ]
[ That Leaves More Money In My Wallet ]
[ There By Leaving More In My Pocket ]
[ Oh Well, After Everything Is Said & Done ]
[ I’d Have To Say ( THAT IT WAS A GOOD RUN ) ]

(80)▪︎[ One Story … 1•23•2020 ]
[ I Write One Story & Then Everybody Thinks I Have More
To Say ]
[ How Did Things Get This Way? ]
[ I Write Story After Story After Story ]
[ Looking For Understanding ]
[ Not Glory ]
[ What Would Glory Look Like? ]
[ Would I Know It When I See It? ]
[ Would It Be Said Through A Mike? ]
[ When You Write From The Heart ]
[ You Brace Yourself ]
[ For That One Person Who Wants To Tear You Apart ]
[ You Can’t Entertain Everyone All Of The Time ]
[ Afterall, I Only Write Stories That Rhyme ]
[ I’m Not On This Earth To Entertain You ]
[ Maybe, Just Maybe ]
[ You’ll Like A Story Or Two ]

(375)▪︎[ Ms. Allison … 5•26•2022 ]
[ When There Was A Knock On The Door, Who Could It Be ]
[ It Was A Younger, Smiling Caregiver, I See ]
[ Her Name Was Allison, Or Alli To Her Friends, She Was Stating ]
[ I Would Give Her An (A+) If I Was Going To Give Her A Rating ]
[ She Conquered Every Task ]
[ When Asked ]
[ She Smiled @ Me, Instead Of Having A Bad Attitude ]
[ She Showed Me An Even Amount Of Gratitude ]
[ When Given Something Small In Size ]
[ She Gave Me A Smile That Maked Me Realize ]
[ How Nice It Is To Be Smiled @ ]
[ Instead Of Yelled @ ]
[ Or Glared @ ]
[ Some CG Just Come To Earn A Paycheck ]
[ Not Just To Keep An Eye Open ]
[ So They Can Peak In & Check ]
[ Allison Was Confident But Not Really Full Of Herself ]
[ She Also Doesn’t Compare Herself To Anyone Else ]
[ She Was A One Of A Kind ]
[ In Everyone’s Mind ]

[ When I’ve Finally Gone Into A Deep ]
[ Sleep ]
[ Don’t Blatantly Watch The Clock ]
[ When We’re Finally Able To Sit Down & Talk ]
[ You Can Never Go Wrong ]
[ When You Take A Little Time Out Of Your Day ]
[ To Sing Me A Song ]
[ I Thank The Big Man Above ]
[ For Giving You The Want & Ability To Show Me Your Love ]

[ Another Day Of Confusing Thoughts Running
Through My Mind ]
[ Another Day That I Would Not Rewind ]
[ Thoughts Float In Like Clouds On Air ]
