I used to think, gee
I’m as smart as smart can be.
But now I see
I’m a lot less of a smarty
and even the smarts that used to be inside me
poetry
One little sheep
I am one little sheep,
one little sheep
who wandered so deep
and now I am far from home
and so alone.
When holidays become bullies
Christmas I like you
I really do.
But I must insist
you resist
the urge to bully
your way through. Continue reading
The road
I love this road that I’m on
I’ve been traveling it so very long.
The scenery is pretty
and I have some good company.
I’d travel forever
never straying or turning, no never.
But that is not meant to be,
this road that I’m on is ending for me.
Never mistake a road’s end
for one that simply has a bend.
Yes, goodbyes may be tough,
but a new road is waiting for my love.
So, I will travel on
and advance down the road I belong.

Thirty years old blues
by Marilyn D. Lee
This week I’ve been feeling so blue,
I just don’t know what I want to do.
Others say it’s just the way it’s got to be;
they’ve been through it, just like me.
Pride
We have been told
the cautionary story
warning us of pride
that befell the Marsh family.
Courage
The courage to say yes.
The courage to try.
The courage to show up.
The courage to give it your might.
All Hallows’ Eve
All Hallows’ Eve –
the night when souls of the dead roam.
and also haunt –
the place they once called their home.
Sleepless night…
I can’t sleep because you are on my mind –
I don’t believe you when you say you’re fine.
What else can I do
But say a prayer for you.
And I hope your dark clouds part and you find the sun.
There’s just always a worry when you love someone.

The perfect week
If I had any say
and had my way
I would outlaw Monday
I would just say
no to Monday
You’re not welcome here
no way.
If I had any say
and had my way
I’d rethink Tuesday
I would say
maybe no Tuesday
no Tuesday today.
If I had any say
and had my way
I’d ban Wednesday
I’d say
Wednesday
go away.
If I had any say
and had my way
I’d keep Thursday
I’d say
you’re okay, Thursday
you can stay.
If I had any say
and had my way
I’d make Friday
the play day
play, play,
all day.
If I had any say
and had my way
I’d say, Saturday,
I’m too tired to play
let me sleep today
on Saturday.
If I had any say
and had my way
I’d say welcome Sunday
I will take today
and pray
and not at all worry
because there is no Monday.
