(485)▪︎[ Angel’s In The Room … 2025 ]

[ There Are Times When Angel’s Actually Do Roam The Earth ]
[ You Know That When A Bell Rings ]
[ Everytime There Is A Child’s Birth ]

[ It Is Not Always The Norm ]
[ For An Angel To Show Themselves ]
[ In Human Form ]

[ They Just Might ]
[ Take Flight ]
[ During The Morning ]
[ Instead Of Always Being @ Night ]

[ They Are Not Like Santa ]
[ Who Is Always Looking For All Of The Good Girls & Boys ]
[ They Don’t Have A GPS Antenna ]
[ So They Can Deliver Goodies & Toys ]

[ Angel’s & Santa Claus’s Purpose In Life Are Worlds Apart ]
[ Santa Might Live In The Mind ]
[ While Angel’s Live In The Heart ]
[ Because They Are So Kind ]

[ Unfortunately There Times When An Angel Will Appear Before A Man’s Eyes Right Before Death ]
[ Maybe Drug Abusers Are Trying To To See The Angels]
[ When They Start Smoking Meth ]

[ They Keep Wanting To Get To An Even Higher High ]
[ Hopefully They Pass Out ]
[ Before They Die ]

[ Angel’s Will Sometimes Lead A Man Down A Better Path ]
[ Sad To Say That If You Have Test Anxiety In Class ]
[ Angel’s Will Not Help You During Your Finals Test In Math ]

[ Children Tend To See Angel’s More Often Than Adult’s, Because They Really Believe ]
[ If An Adult Told His Friends That They Saw One ]
[ His Friends Would Probably Think That He Was Hiding Something Up His Sleeve ]

[ Maybe That’s Why Adults Won’t Admit ]
[ That They Ever Noticed It ]

[ It Wouldn’t Sound Believable To See An Angel Fly ]
[ By ]
[ Unless You Were Probably High ]

[ Sometimes Angel’s Do Good Deed’s ]
[ Other Times They Help Those That Are In Need ]

[ They Don’t Ever Give Out Money ]
[ They Probabaly Wouldn’t Lead Someone To The Land Of Milk & Honey ]

[ Rest Assure That Angel’s Are Here To Stay ]

(001)▪︎[ Good Neighbor … 2025 ]

What makes a good neighbor?

[ A Good Neighbor Usually Leaves You Alone ]

[ He Doesn’t Invade Your Privacy ]

[ By Using A Drone ] …

[ When You Drive By Him While He Is Working In His Yard ]

[ He Waves Because He Is Friendly & Nice ]

[ During The Winter, He Works Really Hard ]

[ Using His Shovel On The Sidewalk, Clearing Away The Snow & The Ice ] …

[ He Barbecues All Year Long ]

[ & It Smells Really Good ]

[ He Knows That He Can’t Go Wrong ]

[ When He Barbecues For The Whole Neighborhood ] …

[ He Is Generous To A Fault ]

[ When You Knock On His Door ]

[ To Ask Him For Some Sugar Or Salt ] …

[ He Keeps His Eye On Your Property Whenever You & Your Family Are Out Exploring Other Towns ]

[ When You Meet Him ]

[ You Would Definitely Agree With His Pronoun’s ] …

[ He Is Just One Regular Guy ]

[ He Won’t Ever Steal Your Mail Or Newspaper ]

[ & He Bakes A Wonderful Apple Pie ] …

[ Everyone Around You Lives A Quiet & Comfortable Life ]

[ They Are Nice To Your Kids ]

[ & Nobody Tries To Covet Your Wife ] …

[ A Good Neighbor Will Always Care ]

[ If They Happen To Buy The Winning Megabucks Ticket, They Better Share ]

[ Because If They Won’t ]

[ You Will Become Their Worst Kind Of Nightmare! ] …

[ A Worst Neighbor They Would Never Find ]

[ Because You Would Become The Kind ]

[ That Would Mess With Their Mind ] …

[ As A Neighborly Rule ]

[ Nobody Will Treat You Like A Fool ]

[ When They Come To Their Senses & Start To Share, Then Everything Would Go Back To Being Cool ]

(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 ]

(679)▪︎[ This Should Not Surprise You … 8•14•2021 ]

[ Do You Feel Good, When You Do Something Good? ]
[ When Others Don’t ]
[ Are They Misunderstood? ]

[ (9) Out Of (10) Just Won’t ]
[ So They Don’t ]

[ Don’t Expect A Word To Be Said ]
[ Don’t Let That Mess With Your Head ]

[ Most People Do Not Notice Or Care Unless It Happens
     To Them, Personally ]
[ Does That Sound Reasonably ]

[ Correct? ]
[ Does That Connect? ]

[ It Is Really Sad ]
[ But Really True ]
[ Is It Bad? ]
[ If Sometimes That Could Include You? ]

[ But That Is Not The Norm For You Now ]
[ So You Cry ( FOUL!) ]

[ That Is Not How You Live ]
[ Because When Others Stand There & Take ]
[ You Are Usually One Of The Few That Would Rather Give ]

[ Being Handed Something ]
[ Does Not Feel As Good As Giving Something ]

[ Unless The Person Acts Entitled To It ]
[ That Is When You Do Not Want To Give Them Even A
     Little Bit ]

[ Entitled People Could Take A Walk ]
[ Because Dealing With Those Kinds Of People Makes Me
     Just Stop ]

(338)▪︎[ End A Good Day … 4•24•2021 ]

[ Nobody Pushed You Into Re-Inventing The Wheel ]
[ They Just Wanted You To Get A Good Deal ]

[ In Love, Life Or Play ]
[ If You Would Have Or Get Good Luck In Any Way ]

[ Is There Anyone Around To Help? ]
[ Maybe You Can Entertain Yourself ]
[ By Reading Some Hilarious Reviews Of Businesses On Yelp ]

[ & You Could Consider It To Be A Good Night ]
[ To Not Say Anything That Would Lead To A Fight ]

[ Sometimes It Seems ]
[ That Whatever The Last Things That You Talk About Has An
     Uncanny Way Of Getting Into Your Dreams ]

[ Make Your Partner The Last Person You See & ( I LOVE YOU )
     The Last Thing You Say ]
[ So You Will Have Positive Dreams ]
[ That Will Help Guide You Into The Next Day ]

[ Have You Ever Had Something On Your Mind That You Can’t
     Get Away From? ]
[ Something That Bothers You So Much It Makes Your
     Brain Numb? ]

[ What Is That Thought That Is Gnawing @ Your Brain ]
[ When You Try To Close Your Eyes ]
[ The Silence Is As Loud As A Passenger Train ]

[ Can You Smell What You Can’t Always See? ]
[ Can You Hear As Well As A Bumble Bee? ]

[ You Go To The Ocean To See The Scenery ]
[ Than You Come Back To The Country To Check Out The
     Greenery ]
[ When You Come Back To The City ]
[ You Come Back To Get Some Coffee @ The Beanery ] 

[ Than, In A Way ]
[ You Call It A Day ]

[ & Say That Things Were Good ]
[ When Nothing Was Misunderstood ]

[ I Want To Grow Old With Memories That Make Me
     Smile ]
[ I Don’t Want My Memories To Last Only For Awhile ]

[ I Remember My Wedding Day ]
[ Like It Was Yesterday ]

[ Seeing My Beautiful Bride ]
[ Standing Up On The Alter ]
[ Getting Me To Tear Up & Making My Smile Get So Wide ]

[ Seeing Friends That Are In My Life & ]
[ & Were Before I Met My Wife ]

[ Our Time In Jamaica, The Blue Water & The White Sand ]
[ Being Carefree By Not Wearing A Watch ]
[ Making Zero Time Demands ]

[ My Time With My Wife When It Was Just Us Two ]
[ Driving Around Washington For Two Days ]
[ Because We Had No Plans For Anything To Do ]

[ Being In Your Parents Kitchen To Overhear ( THAT
    STARTED TRYING ) ]
[ Having The Nurse Put Our Newborn Son In My Arms
     & I Wouldn’t Stop Crying ]

[ Then Being @ Camp Attitude & Getting On A Horse @
     The Same Time As My Son ]
[ It Was A Big Deal To Even Get On One ]

[ That Was When B.D. Came Running To Me Yelling
     ( YOU DID IT! YOU DID IT! ) ]
[ Yes, I Did Do It ]

[ I Remember Getting Bucked Off One Horse & Then Almost
     Getting In The Head ]
[ That Was When I Was About (5) Years Old @ A Foster
     Home ]
[ That Was The Night One Of The Parent’s Son Wanted
     Me Dead ]

(593)▪︎[ Worth The Effort … 7•18•2021 ]

[ Some Say, That Life Chooses You ]
[ It Is Because Of Who You Are ]
[ Not Because Of What You Do ]

[ Is It Because Of Your Gene Pool? ]
[ Or Because You Make Others Feel Good ]
[ & Not Look Like A Fool ]

[ It Is Quite To The Contrary, Says He ]
[ It Is How Things Actually Are ]
[ & How Things Can Be ]

[ If Your Eyes Are Always Buried In A Book ]
[ How Does That Look? ]

[ Maybe That Is What Life Is All About ]
[ It Does Not Mean How Loud You Can Get ]
[ It Could Mean Coming To The Point Of Time When You Lose
     All Doubt ]

[ & As You Grow Older ]
[ It Could Be By The Eye Of The Beholder ]

[ It Is ALL Common Sense ]
[ That Keep Others From Riding The Fence ]

[ It Costs Dollars & Cents ]
[ To Fix Those Scratches & Dents ]

[ Fender ]
[ Benders ]

[ Are Not Just That ]
[ Just Like Skinny People Are A Meal Away From Being Fat ]

[ A Roll Of Cookies Here Or There ]
[ Sometimes No Longer Having A Penchant To Even Share ]

[ Just Eating One After Another ]
[ Not Even Saving One For Their Mother ]

[ Sometimes What Is In Front Of Your Eyes ]
[ Have Been Misconceptions & Lies ]

[ Not One Single Person Telling You The Truth  ]
[ Not Being Able To Go To The Dentist To Pull Your Bad Tooth ]

[ Sometimes You Can See ]
[ How Some People Can Be ]
[ Like A Deep Cavity ]

[ Eating Away @ The Eanamel Of The Base ]
[ Lying To People In Front Of Their Face ]

[ When The Base Is Gone ]
[ People Move On ]

[ When It Is Right ]
[ It Is Worth The Effort ]
[ That Is Put Into The Fight ]

(98)▪︎[ Why Good People? … 2•1•2020 ]

[ Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People Everyday ]
[ We All Are Just Treading Water In This Big Sea, Called Life ]
[ Looking For The Way ]

[ That We Are Supposed To Go ]
[ Because As We Grow ]
[ We Can Come To The Resolution That @ Times ]
[ We Just Don’t Know ]

[ If We Should Go Straight ]
[ & Run Into A Locked Gate ]

[ Or Make A Hard Right ]
[ & Stop ]
[ Before We Get To That Bright Light ]

[ Because That Light Is An Oncoming Train ]
[ That Is Trying To Mess With Our Brain ]
[ Making Us Ask Ourselves ]
[ ( ARE WE OKAY, OR INSANE? ) ]

[ Then Someone Asks You ]
[ { IS THERE A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO? } ]
[ If There Is ]
[ Then Who Knew? ]

[ Who Knows How To Really Define What’s Going On In Your
Own Head ]
[ Before You’re Dead? ]

[ Can You Learn To Thrive ]
[ While You Are Alive? ]

[ Does Your Ego Need A Boost Every Now & Then? ]
