(717)▪︎[ Not A Fun Life … 8•26•2021 ]

[ Can You Go Through Life Liking People, But Not Trusting
     Anybody @ All? ]
[ It Is Like You Will Take Their Text ]
[ But You Won’t Take Their Call? ]

[ Some People Carry Around A Closed Mind ]
[ Then Are Definitely Not The Trusting Kind ]

[ Most People Want Results ]
[ But Most People Shout Insults ]

[ They Won’t Trust A Single Soul ]
[ They Don’t Put Butter On Their Dinner Roll ]

[ They Feel That They Are Honest To A Fault ]
[ They Don’t Trust The Government Or Banks ]
[ So They Hide It In Their House In A Vault ]

[ Or They Profess ]
[ There Is No Safer Place Than Under Their Mattress ]

[ Do They Trust Family Members? ]
[ Most, No ]
[ Because He Remembers ]

[ Incidents When Someone’s Word Was Not His Word ]
[ Not The First Time Or The Third ]

[ Someone’s Word Is Not What It Used To Be ]
[ If You Don’t Believe That ]
[ You Should Sit Back & See ]

[ Trusting No One, Could Make Your World Extremely Small ]
[ When You Become An Introvert ]
[ Will You Get Tired Of Staring @ The Same Four Walls? ]

[ You Can’t Get Through Life Not Trusting Anyone ]
[ That Kind Of Life, Does Not Sound Fun ]

[ Do They Think That They Would? ]
[ Than They Should ]
[ If They Could ]

(1369)▪︎[ Trust Is A Strange Word … 12•5•2019 ]

[ Trust What You Know ]
[ Not What You Feel ]
[ Things Can Move Really Slow ]
[ When You Think You Got A Raw Deal ]

[ Maybe You Forgot, But You’re Still Responsible ]
[ Cueing Your Memory ]
[ Is Not Impossible ]

[ As You Grow, That’s When You Find The Clue ]
[ That Taking Responsibility For Your Own Actions ]
[ Is The Adult Thing To Do ]

[ When You Go From Complying To Responsive ]
[ You Go From (MAYBE’s) To Decisive ]

[ Then You Go From Adaptive & Cooperative ]
[ To Responsible & Reasonable ]

[ There Are Times When You Use Your Voice ]
[ Saying That You Had No Choice ]

[ But You Had A Choice & You Should Know That ]
[ In The Game Of Life ]
[ Everybody Should Get Their Turn Up To Bat ]

[ We All Know That In Life, You Don’t Always Get A Fair Shake ]
[ Opportunities Are As Good As The Ones You Make ]
[ & Chances Are Gauged By The Risks You Take ]

[ During The Growing Up Years, Growth Is The Hardest Thing
To Accomplish ]
[ Avoiding The Potholes Along The Way Can Be A Great Wish ]

(683)▪︎[ He Did Finally Move Out … 8•17•2021 ]

[ Getting Him Out Of Your House Became All-Consuming @
     Times ]
[ When He Was About To Be Placed, You Found Out That You
     Did Not Have Enough $’s & Dimes ]

[ Even With All Of His Strange Quirks ]
[ Everybody Knew That He Had To Go To Work ]

[ That Began To Be The Only Thing That You Were Thinking
     About ]
[ You Were Stressing Because You Had ALOT Of Doubt ]
[ That He Would Never Move Out ]

[ He Would Have Never Moved Out On His Own ]
[ Even Though He Was (18) & Grown ]

[ It Became Perfectly Clear ]
[ Most Of The Time, You No Longer Wanted Him Living Here ]

[ You Know He Is Your Son ]
[ & You Love Him As One ]

[ But Then He Became Your Number (1) Agitator ]
[ & Your Number (1) Aggravator ]

[ He Aggravated You To No End ]
[ You Know, As The Father, You Are Supposed To Bend ]

[ But You Almost Broke ]
[ & He Could See That ]
[ Then All He Did Was Poke & Poke & Poke! ]

[ He Also Knew What Buttons To Push Down On, Hard ]
[ There Were Some Times When You Really Wanted To Go
     Toe-to-Toe With Him In The Back Yard ]

[ Oh So Close ]
[ But You Did Not Grow Up To Be As Dumb As A Post ]

[ You Knew Where That Would Have Led ]
[ So You Used Your Head ]
[ Instead ]

[ You Had To Wait & Wait & Wait ]
[ You Have Been Disappointed So Many Times In Your Life ]
[ It Was Tough To Have Faith ]

[ You Are Not Disowning Your Son By Any Means ]
[ He Has Stolen From You So Many Times & Had Said So
      Many Things ]
[ But Nobody Heard Your Screams! ]

[ But Now July 14th Is Being Named As Your Independence
     Day ]
[ Someone Finally Heard You Say ]

[ (HE CAN’t LIVE HERE ANYMORE!) ]
[ He Needed To Be Shown The Other Side Of The Door ]

[ So He Was Doing Well @ His New House ]
[ & You Were Loving, Living With Just Your Spouse ]

[ When He Was Coming Over We Asked Him To Mow Our Small
     Yard ]
[ While He Was Doing It ]
[ He Made A Simple Thing, Be So Hard! ]

[ Then He Exploded With Anger & Demanded To Be Taken Home ]
[ Once That Was Known ]

[ You Told Him Then, That Would Be What We Will Do ]
[ He Started Crying, Saying (I DIDN’t MEAN IT!) ]
[ You Wanted To Say (WELL BOO WHO WHO!) ]

[ You Have Always Told Him That There Is No Such Thing As
     (TAKE-BACKS IN REAL LIFE!) ]
[ Especially Since He Did Not Say It Very Nice ]

[ It Was So Nice To Take Him & His Bad Attitude To A
     Different Address ]
[ & Then You Do Not Have To Deal With His Mess ]

[ The First Visit Sure Did Sink Down The Drain ]
[ Pretty Quick ]
[ When His Anger Comes On Like A Run Away Train ]
[ You Won’t Have To Deal With Him Whenever He Starts
     Being A D–k ]

[ Right Away On Any Visits, You Could Tell Him To His Face ]
[ That If He Gets An Attitude ]
[ You Can Quickly Return Him To His Own Place ]
