In thinking about all those internet terms we use so freely - so I thought I would share a grin with ya!

LOL

lmao is just a phrase,
but what if it really "left"
I couldn't sit, or have it pinched,
I'd really feel quite bereft...

lol is a better term,
yes, that's the way to go,
but when I think about it
"lmao" would be quite a show...

Sea of Despair

Sea of Despair

Feelings washed up
like broken seashells
along the shore

Doubts ebbing my very soul
as it cries out like a lone
gull, searching, wandering,
lost in a storm of my
memories

You have played your
role very well as Captain
of my destiny and while
I let you set the course,
I have none to blame for my
misery but myself

So alone I walk the
sandy shore while the
moon illuminates my
way and the ghost
of you whispers
in the wind

Hope

Hope is that surge of "inner light" when you find yourself holding your breath in anticipation of what is going to happen next

Life's a Beach

My back aches,
my hair is gray
I can't remember a word I say!

My face is wrinkled,
my clothes are too
and sometimes I pass gas
just out of the blue!

But life's a "beach"
when you get "old,"
coz you no longer have
to do what you're told!!
