Gratitude
Gratitude and attitude
Define your life every day
Don’t be mean, don’t be rude
Be kind in every way
Have gratitude for all you possess
Acceptance for what you do not
Sometimes having more is having less
It’s not always about what you have bought
Keep your attitude good, your spirits high
You will feel so much better inside
Be trustworthy and never lie
Then there’s nothing from which you should hide

Simple
Life, simple joys may not be
Your cup of tea, but that’s the difference
Between you and me
Sitting on the porch, sipping coffee or wine
Listening to the birds chirp,
Well, that’s life divine
If you’re always rushing and wanting more
Keeping up with the Joneses
Having to make the better score
How will you ever learn to be?
In love with life, simple, and carefree
As I get older, I appreciate more
The things that truly matter
My family, good friends, good music
And not keeping score…

Family
Ties that bind,
Roots run deep
Blood is definitely
Thicker than water
We may not always agree,
We may not always get along
But we love each other
And appreciate each other
And our get togethers speak volumes
Of who we are and of
Who our ancestors were
We are lucky p, truly blessed
We are a tribe
We are the West

Calm
You are my calm
In the storms of life
Through the rain
And the heavy wind
When the snow is falling down
And the lightning is crashing
The thunder rolling
You are my calm,
Soothing my soul
My sunshine on a cloudy day
My cool wind on a stifling hot day
My moon and stars
On the darkest of nights
You are my beacon
You, my love are the calm
In my life

Liar
He was a liar and a thief
Stealing my heart from the very beginning
Setting my soul on fire, igniting
Passion I thought I no longer held within my soul
But he walked away with not a word, no explanation no conversation
Only a world of empty promises
And left me wondering
About everything in life…

Words
Words of love, easily spoken
When everything is new
Giving of love is a true token
So let your love shine through
Don’t live your life in should have
Be brave enough to try
Love is more than a balm or salve
More glorious than the mountain high
So open your heart to the one
Who thinks you hung the moon
Enjoy your life giggle have fun
Appreciating life’s boon…

Once in a lifetime
You are my once in a lifetime
My faithful all in all
My reason and my rhyme
There to catch me when I fall
Walking through life, hand and hand
Happy together, enjoying life
As one jointly we stand
Through good times or strife
No matter where we decide to live
Happiness dwells in the heart
True joy to each each other we give
My love, my split apart
