The Poet Enters

With All Due Respect!

Hopefully the expectation of the day is not forsaken by the reality of the day.

Sometimes the oyster is sooo big, that there has to be a pearl; even if by accident.

I have been told, that just being rich won't make me happy; I would like to try it, and see.

Some days you just want to have fun; without all of the trouble.

Money is not happiness, nor a goal; it is a tool. A tool which some have not yet apprehended. With it, you can do the following: Buy Food, healthy food, and not just what you can scrounge. Get Good Transportation; be concerned with your destination, and not if you will reach it. Good Clothes, not just ones that still fit or don't look too bad. Have at least one night of sleep, without wondering what bill is not going to get paid. True happiness comes from within, not from things, nor people. I am OK with myself; just not my things.

Sometimes there's more going on, than you are truly seeing; and you are missing a wonderful view.

If I find myself in a world which I cannot bear; I think I will write of one, in which, I can prosper and flourish.

Sometimes you wait for things, and sometimes you seek after things; most times you will find yourself doing both.

In the middle of your empty night, do wonder if this is a bad thing, or simply a time of reflection?

You may find yourself in the position of having to make your own opportunities; and then poncing on them.

Sometimes it seems like you spend your whole life looking for a safe harbor; only to have a storm come a blow it all away.

I would have surely crossed the finish line at this point; if it did not move so much, or so often.

It is commonly spoken, that home is where the heart is; but I have begun to wonder, where is my heart?

Sometimes all you need is a good "fun versus expense" ratio.

If I am the only person who believes in me, am I wrong for such a conviction; are others missing some valuable truth, or am I?

Sometimes an "OK" day, can be looked upon as a "Good" day; in the right perspective.

So I stand here, freed from the never-ending ride; looking fondly at the newly opened world.

If a person shows you love and concern every single day of the  year, and forgets your birthday; do they still love you? Should you still love them? Silly questions; huh?

There are times when you know you have to win; because you have already lost the things which mattered.

Be careful if you decide to throw caution into the wind; the wind may be blowing against you.

Sometimes is just good to be around people, who will hear what you have to say.

Is notability a product of acquaintances, occasion, or ability; or is it just the essence of good fortune?

You can either make a stand, or have a fall; either way the confrontation will be done.

I'll fix it, if I am able; just remember, I am not the one which broke it.

You are only truly lost when you are no longer able to navigate home; not when you cannot find the place you seek to be.

There is no worst antagonist, than an ally who has become your adversary.

When proven incorrect, take it as a learning occasion; not an event which needs retribution.

Effort is commonly rewarded in due time; however, often not at your convenience.

We should never let the issues of life floor us; but neither should we treat difficulty with indifference.

Time to think; is both, a simple thing, and an incredibly valuable commodity.
