The Intended Switch
None of past drudgery
or situational same old repeats
To lead a life simpler before
what's left of the verve depletes
With affability treated a hallmark
coexistence point supreme
Where caring just as much sharing
is regarded part of the scheme
The time can't be inverted,
it's impending what one must amend
Ditch dreary for the cheery
and rest of the life indulgently spend

You Know That I Love You
Yesterday I was alone and Blue
My heart was heavy and then came you
Oh I can see that you were meant for me
Now I have found you, I'll never let you go
You know that I love you
I need you
You know that I'm caring, sharing
Everything I've got
Don't you know that I want you
I need you too
And I will be happy with you for the rest of my life
Many lovers they come and go
But your sweet loving lingers on and on
Oh I can feel, that this time it's for real
So hold me closer, and never let me go
You know that I love you
I need you
You know that I'm caring, sharing
Everything I've got
Don't you know that I want you
I need you too
And I will be happy with you for the rest of my life
And I will be happy with you for the rest of my life
Well your sweet love is all I need
Without you I just can't go on
You know that I love you
I need you
You know that I'm caring, sharing
Everything I've got
Don't you know that I want you
I need you too
And I will be happy with you for the rest of my life
I'll be happy with you for the rest of my life
I will be happy with you for the rest of my life

The Better Part Of Life
We're all together once again
For the first time in i don't know when
We were so close once upon a time
There were five of us kids at home
Two girls, three boys and dad and mom
But that was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember that old swimming hole
Where we would swim so long ago
And all them possum grapes and muskedines
And do you recall the time
We all got drunk on homemade wine
That was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Life was simple for us then
If only it could be again
How i wish we could go back in time
But time moves on and nothin' lasts
Except the memories from the past
Memories from the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember how we talked as kids
Of what we'd be when we got big
And all the dreams that we held in our minds
I wanted to be a singin' star
And you all said that i'd go far
But that was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember all the fun we had
Back when they say times were bad
And life was good to us and things were fine
We had fun and we had love
And a mom and dad to care for us
But that was is the better part
Of life we left behind
Life was simple for us then
If only it could be again
How i wish we could go back in time
But time moves on and nothin' lasts
Except the memories from the past
Memories from the better part
Of life we left behind
Sweet memories from the better part
Of life we left behind

Live in Today
Tomorrow is another day
Yesterday is the past
Don't go looking in the future
Why are you looking in the past
Look at what's going on around you
Don't think about your mistakes
What's done is done
Move on
Learn from everything
Love everything
Don't be trying to figure out how to spend the rest of your life
Think about right now
This very moment
Don't care about what they think
Nobody's thoughts matter but your own
Live your life with fun
And no fear
You have the power
Now use it
This poem might not be the best
But everybody needs to do their part

Up and Forget
One goes up and forgets
Make room for others to let
This is cycle and comes true
In everybody's life as it is very much due
Past may make you unhappy
This type of agony is suffered by many
Old age may be come shadow
Get larger in size to be looked from within in window
Children fly off and go far
Leaving behind tales of sky and star
All beautifully narrated when they were little kids
Now we have to look towards them for any lead
They are on their way out
They have nothing to take care and worry about
Marry and keep happy with the family
Leaving behind curse and things considered to be silly
Old may find it difficult to look for golden days
There was time when they had enough time to find the ways
Now what is left behind except to look at sky?
Make the futile study of what is not done and why?
No need to go through ordeals and punish self for nothing
It was your duty and you had strived for something
It ahs been achieved and cycle is repeated
You are left alone but not badly treated
You will be given all the comfort with peace
Life will be in isolation but at ease
It is time to remember and go through spent years
Listen to good or bad words that others may strike in ears
Abandon no hopes as it is routine and casual
It always takes place in its course as usual
Spend the time with happy mood and excel
Laugh it out at past and smilingly reveal or tell

Sonnet: God, Show Me Better Times
Do turn the wheel of fortune in my way,
O God, let time and tide now favor me;
For long, I’ve struggled, suffered and did pray;
In life, I have been treated unfairly!
Though late, let not my labor go awaste;
I want to show the world that Truths triumph;
For wealth and name- I am in no great haste;
Let me some time into some success bump.
I am prepared to forgive/ forget past;
A better life in future, I must lead;
For want of time, I must be rather fast;
Let my poems help people, good lives lead.
Life isn’t the same to everyone always;
Let fruitful be our earthly stay all days.

Pros and Cons
Some read, some rest, while others play,
some crosswords puzzle as the day
to night tracks onwards while life’s train
repeats, repeats, the same refrain.
Some through life’s window stare as they
dream on lost worlds in wayward way,
some forward bend to golden g[r]ain,
some backward tend in times of strain.
Some watch their neighbours watch them weigh
the pros and cons of yea or nay,
some thoughts would open, some restrain
emotions’ f[l]avour as profane.
There are so few who dare relay
fair message sharing interplay.

Done!
done!
past the point of caring,
what anyone says or thinks
about my life!
now to the business
of just living!
without limit,
without hesitation!
no time for regret,
no stone left unturned.
love, at all costs,
they can build the fire
after i'm gone!
i am the man that i am,
and nothing else!
let it be said i cared!
let the talk and the judgements
fall like dust...
leave my grave unmarked,
and my soul to time...
done!

Complex Cinderella
Living in a fantasy world asleep
All her laundry left in a heap
She has a dream of being discovered
Her other life uncovered
Really a wall-flower who never knows what to say
She's not excused from the drudgery of each day
She's a complex Cinderella
Waiting to meet the right fella
Understanding her special dream
Wearing glass slippers is part of the scheme
If the shoe fits wear it
But it's so tight I can't bear it
This shoe was featured in a fashion magazine
It's one you probably have seen
A fairy tale contraption
Wearing it would take some adaptation
Fragile self image she's often left on the shelf
You'll find her sipping tea by herself
Until Mr. Wonderful comes along
She'll be doing housework and humming a song

There Must Be Some Other Way
Youre no longer part of my life
I must remind myself again
Too much has happened to us to cause eachother pain
Its over now, theres too much guilt to share
Once there would have been a time for talking and learning
There must be some other way
To get where we have to go
There must be some other way
Please show me another way
Once it would have been so easy, to do what we have to do
There must be some other way
Please show me another way
Are we no more than parts in a play
Letting other people, strangers say our lines?
To think it should come to this, after all these years
What was mine and what should stay behind
Once there would have been a time of sharing, of caring
There must be some other way
To get where we have to go
There must be some other way
Please show me another way
Once it would have been so easy to do what we have to do (there must be some other way)
There must be some other way
Please show me, show me another way...
------
Theres nothing much left to say
We have said it once and said it all again
This time we have gone too far, it could never be the same
Its time to carry on create new lives
Once we promised we would stay together forever
There must be some other way
To get where we have to go (there must be some other way)
There must be some other way
Please show me another way
Once it would have been so easy to do what we have to do (what we have to do)
You know there must be some other way
Please show me another way
You know there must be another way
Please show me, show me another way (there must be some other way)
You know there must be some other way...

Do Not Say Goodbye To Me
Do not say goodbye to me.
Please just walk away.
Then I won't be able to hear those words.
I'll pretend that you will stay.
For goodbye is only acceptable
if the parting doesn't last.
And if it does then all I've loved
becomes part of my past.
You taught me love
and I rose above
all I thought I could be.
You taught me desire
and I felt the fire
that became a part of me.
You taught me boldness
and I left the coldness
on a bedroom shelf.
You taught me caring
and I craved the sharing
that became a part of myself.
So do not say goodbye to me.
Please just walk away.
For all that you have taught me,
when you leave will always stay.

I Remember
I used to think that you were down
I used to think that you were down
But when times got rough I saw the truth
I thought I found a design of love that could be real life
But our hearts drifted apart
They no longer bind
Nothings alright youre out of my mind
Chorus:
I remember when you wouldnt come around
Now you want to be down
Not supposed to let you back in no way
I remember that day so well (so well, so well)
When you wouldnt talk to me
Now you see me everyday on tv
You tried to play me and got played in return
Messed up on a real man, now your bridges are burned
Gave me time to figure out your scheme its all a dream now
Trying to get back in and you dont know how
Now your all out of order and denial
Chorus (repeats twice)
Gave me time to figure out your scheme its all a dream now
Youre trying to get back in and you dont know how
Theres no way no how
Chorus (repeats twice and fades out)

What Is The Point Of Life
What is the point of life if it is just disappointments?
What is the point of life if we are just going to die?
What is the point of life if we just get divorced?
What is the point of life if we just get in trouble?
What is the point of life if we are just sad?
What is the point of life if we just fight?
What is the point of life if we feel pain?
What is the point of life if we just hurt each other?
I know what the point of life is!
the feelings i have for the one i truly love.

Marriage Is
Marriage is a fulfillment of dreams
It is an oath of life between two loving partners
It is the most beautiful thing that can happen in your life
It is a feeling to be cherished, nurtured and care for
It is promise today for tomorrow together
It is bond to hold each other when love bloom
It is caring each other life time
It is an understanding between two hearts
It is willingness to step forward without being afraid
It is sharing, forgiving and compassion
It is mysterious but ask you to share the secrets
Trust each other and the journey of marriage will lead
in to a great love forever.

Ill Spend My Life With You
By tommy boyce and bobby hart
People come and people go
Movin fast and movin slow
Im in a crowd yet Im all alone
The road is long the road is rough
I do believe Ive had enough
Im gonna turn around and head for home.
And I hope youre there
And you still care
And if you do,
Ill spend my life with you.
Ive had all the time I need
To rearrange my mind and lead
The life I thought I wanted yesterday
I played a game that couldnt last
And now some memries from the past
Have turned my thoughts around a different way.
And girl, I find
Youre still on my mind.
And if you want me to
Ill spend ny life with you.
[instumental]
And girl, I find
Youre still on my mind.
And if you want me to
Ill spend ny life with you.

I’m Sorry, But
I’ve found someone new who makes me happy
and she makes me feel better than I’ve ever felt before.
She told me that she wants to spend her life with me,
and that I’m the man she’s spent her life looking for.
She says that she has had many dreams about me
long before our fated paths had chance to meet.
Let’s face it our relationship has been going nowhere,
we haven’t the love that once caused our hearts to beat.
This new love of mine gives us both an opportunity
to begin new chapters in our life.
I know you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect partner
and perhaps you might even consider to be his wife.
This adorable new sharing caring woman in my life
says she will go to the ends of the Earth with me.
You wouldn’t even walk to the end of the road
if it meant you missing the soaps on TV.
So despite our laboured unhappy time together
I wish you the very best in all you do.
You can turn the TV sound back up now,
there’s nothing more I have to say to you.

Met With A Giving Of Approval
Having an identity,
Also has with it its disadvantages.
When exposed in environments,
Amongst those choosing to spend their time...
Trying to impress others to find an acceptance.
And when the doing of this is more important,
Than being oneself...
Few meet anyone who is willing,
To give their honest opinion on anything...
That has not already met with a giving of approval.
'If you don't change,
You are going to spend the rest of your life,
Alone.
Doing whatever it is you wish.
And no one caring a thing about it! '
~Geeessshhh...
Does that mean,
That this peace of mind I can keep...
And will be my own forever?
Let me thank you right now for that message.
I have said it before and I'll say it again...
The devil IS a liar.
There can be a peace had.
Right here on Earth.~

The Rest Of Your Life
Walkin on my own,
Absolutely free,
Solitary life,
The only life for me,
Midnight caf,
Dinner alone,
Independent heart,
Is all Ive ever known,
Oh I believe,
I had no one to lose,
And nobody fooled but me
Fire in the storm,
Rainbow in the night,
Lightning on the sea,
Heaven in your eyes,
Never before,
The magic of night,
It happened in my arms,
Right before my eyes
Oh, now I believe,
Theres a God watching over me,
From up here, I can see the rest of my life,
Its got directions starting over,
So hold me, its destiny,
Cause from tonight I know,
You know the rest of your life is mine,
How long can I be this sure,
Only for the rest of your life.
Self-assured before,
Had it figured out,
All I didnt know,
Is what its all about,
You walked into my world,
Then it came alive
I never knew before,
Why I survived.
Oh, now I believe,
Theres a God watching over me,
From up here, I can see the rest of my life,
Youre giving me directions starting over,
So hold me, its destiny,
Cause from tonight I know,
You know the rest of your life is mine,
Whoa, oh whoa,
Whoa, I know its over,
The past is over, ooh yeah
You cant go back to sleep,
Once youve seen what you have seen
And know what you know about love.
Over
Hold me, its destiny,
And from tonight I know,
You know the rest of your life is mine,
How long can I be this sure,
Only for the rest of your life.

I Want
Don't want to spend my time, wishing you were here
Don't want to spend my time alone
Don't want to waste my life, dwelling on the past
Don't want to lock myself at home
'Cause I want, I need, nothing less than you
I want nothing else at all
Don't want to make excuses
Explaining it away
Just want to spend my time with you
Don't want to walk on ice
Don't want to live on edge
'Cause on the edge
I'm looking down
I want more, I want more
Don't want to spend my time
Wishing you were here
Don't want to spend my time alone

The Joy of Life
The joy of life is living
In living there is loving
In loving there is caring
In caring there is sharing
What you don’t have, you can’t share
But never go beyond your means to find something to share
You might lose yourself in doing so
So share what you have, as long as you can
Others will see that you really and truly care
And they will love and help you to live your life
And give you the joy, that only few hold dear,
The joy of life
