Sometimes we stay
When we should go
Sometimes we find it
Too hard to let go.

We hope things will change
But they never do
It always comes back
To me and then you.

No better outcome
Things stay the same
The truth is apparent
And we’re both to blame.

You can’t ask someone
If the feeling’s not there
To pretend to need you
To pretend that they care.

The tears they are crying
Are not meant for you
They’re waiting around
For their dreams to come true.

Waiting for someone
They can relate to
Someone who’s different
And nothing like you.

Maybe tomorrow
Maybe today
She’ll say that it’s over
Then she’ll walk away.

Gather your pride
Your purse and your cash
Be ready to end it
It’s not meant to last.

Once she has met him
Once she has gone
You’ll wish that you hadn’t
Waited so long.

Sunshine and palm trees
So lucky are we
Living in paradise
I just can’t believe.

The ocean, the weather
The sand and the sun
Building sand castles
Are always such fun.

Sailboats and surfboards
Waves passing by
The beautiful clouds
And the pretty blue sky.

Walk to the pier or
Down to the jetty
Watching the ships
The boats and the ferry.

Sitting with friends
Under umbrellas
Or holding hands
With your favorite fella.

Cold drinks in the cooler
Snacks changing hands
Being together
A perfect day planned.

Uncompromising

Wanted to ask you
To meet me for coffee
We’ll talk it over
Why don’t you call me?

Tuesday would work
Will you be free?
Let’s get together
Will you talk to me?

It’s been over a week
I know you’re upset
I know you are angry
Please don’t forget.

All of the time
That we spent together
Should count for something
It’s got to get better.

Don’t hold a grudge
What good would it do?
Give me a chance
I’ll tell you the truth.

She didn’t matter
It was only one time
You’ve got to forgive me
Please say that you’re mine.

I had too many drinks
I wasn’t clear headed
She came onto me
You’ve got to forget it.

Never again
I promise you this
All that it was
Was one careless kiss.

Though uncompromising
I’m begging you
Please reconsider
I swear I’ll be true.

What will it take
Please forgive me
I’ll do anything
I’m down on my knees.

Let’s start all over
Please give me a chance
I can be what you want
Please don’t say that you can’t.

Spent the day at Disney
With my youngest adult son
We had such a wonderful day
Until the day was done.

It was his idea to take a ride
He assured me it would be fun
We got our fast passes ready
This would be an easy one.

Not a roller coaster,
And, not a Ferris Wheel
The car would go a little fast
But would stay on even keel.

No mention of the start and stop
Just high speeds around a track
No reason for me to be alarmed
And, it wouldn’t hurt my back.

We sat down in a racing car
Proceeded to buckle up
The ride was fast, but more than that
It would start and abruptly stop.

Start and stop, again and again
Till I felt like throwing up
I hung on tight and prayed to God
Cause I had…. had enough.

Who knew that I’d get dizzy?
Who knew that I’d get sick?
It took 48 hours and some Zofran
To finally do the trick.

My back did take a beating
I don’t advise it for someone
Although, if you’re under 30
You might find this ride quite fun.

I think I’ll stick with NEMO or
The MY LITTLE MERMAID ride
They are gentle and quite easy
And, have never made me cry.

Stop leading me on
I know that you’re just lying
You’ll leave me on my own
All alone and crying.

I‘ve been down this road before
I know just what you’ll do
Don’t come onto me
We are over, we are through.

Walk away from me
Nothing‘s any different
You’ll break my heart again
You’ve no interest in commitment.

You like to fool around
It’s all about your pleasure
You’ll just waste my time
This will go on forever.

I can’t get over you
The loop plays over and over
Your memory lives on
But, we will never be together.

I’m being held captive
By a distant memory
No matter what I try to do
I can’t seem to break free.

You left me, oh so long ago
Battered and badly bruised
Can’t help myself, I think of you
I keep looking for some clues.

What was it that I did wrong?
What turned your heart away?
Was it something that I did.
Or something I didn’t say?

Devastated and feeling sad,
It’s hard for me to believe
That I never really mattered to you
I now mourn you, as I grieve.

My advice….run for the hills
If it sounds a little too good to be true
Or you’ll end up with a broken heart
She’ll make a fool of you.

She isn’t really worth it
I know just what she’ll do
She’s not there for the long haul
She’ll walk right out on you.

I’ve caught a cold and feel so sick
I wasn’t even trying
Now I’m suffering in bed
I feel so bad, I’m crying.

I didn’t try to set a trap
No use of bait or lures
I don’t want any part of this
It’s not my cold, it’s yours.

Sneezing, sniffling, blowing your nose
Shoulda figured, what this was about
Though you tried to cover your mouth
The germs were still slipping out.

Bendaryl and codeine meds
Kleenex and Tylenol
Haven’t really done too much
To stop this cold at all.

Catching a cold, is not playing tag
You don’t want to catch your prey
You hope the germs will pass you by
And not get in your way.

Please get me a drink or two
Perhaps some chicken soup
What I really need right now
Is a glass of fresh squeezed juice.

Parties, fun and gatherings
Are going to have to wait
Don’t want to spread my germs around
Not in this infected state.

Umbrellas and chairs line the beaches
An array of colors everywhere
Bikinis and shorts, flip flops and sandals
Even suits that you wouldn’t dare wear.

Bellies and thighs, muscles and six packs
Some are stacked and some are bulked
Children are running from water to shore
From the Pacific right down to the Gulf.

The sun shines down upon their faces
It can scald and leave a nasty burn
If they don’t use a number 50 sunscreen
Soon a lesson will be learned.

The water makes it’s way to shore
Along with jelly fish and seaweed
The surfer doesn’t care too much
A wave is all he’s needing.

Coolers filled with ice and drinks
Sandwiches and chips
Everyone wants to eat some lunch
So glad they made the trip.

Snowbirds, locals and visitors
Make their way to the beach each year
From January to the end of April
They’ll park themselves right here.

Brown and white, short or tall
They will end up all together
Basking in the afternoon sun
The perfect place for them to gather.

Fact

BACK ON TRACK

Sorry that you’re feeling sick
You’ll have to stay at home
You’ll have to play your video games
The ones on your cell phone.

I’ll bring you tea and chicken soup
You can watch your favorite shows
It will be so hard on you
To have to take it slow.

All your books and class assignments
Can be done on your computer
You can just lay back and relax
You won’t even need a tutor.

Nothing like getting time off
To be in your bed at home
Getting to sleep and taking it easy
Just to be left alone.

No more fights in the cafeteria
No gossiping or bullying
Taking a break from all of the noise
Can be invigorating and renewing.

The doctor says to get some rest
He says that it’s a fact
That drinking lots of fluids
Will get you back on track.

Waves wash up and over the rocks
Piled up by the docks so high
Men are fishing from dawn to dusk
They like spending time with the guys.

Buckets, bait, whiskers and beards
Line the docks from bow to stern
Baseball hats and fishing poles
Their faces getting burned.

The sun shines bright from up above
Their hats and glasses fight the rays
The seagulls and the pelicans
Show up for lunch each day.

Lines and knives, pliers and rods
No needs are overlooked
Lines thrown out far and wide
Soon a fish is on the hook.

Radio plays the oldies, but goodies
Sub sandwiches and chips to share
Coolers overflowing with soda and beer
They’re so glad to spend time there.

They pass the time out on the water
Waiting for the next pull on their line
They reminiscence about days gone by
While they sip their beer and wine.
