Happy Day

 Life gets kind of crazy

With all it's highs and lows

It's never easy all the time

That's just the way it goes

Bad days leave us dragging

And take us down a ways

Till good ones lift us up to see

It's gonna be ok 

Then some days are so perfect

We have to realize

That life is really beautiful

And it's great to be alive!

Happy days are certain

For they always do come thru!

The kind you wish on special folks

So Happy Day to you!

Back Together

 It's been a long time - way too long!

Since my whole world turned upside down

You left - and I was so devastated

Your love was the best thing I'd found!

Little things would always remind me

Of how happy we used to be

Like a song, a dream or some picture

Bringing sweet memories to me

I can't tell you how much I've missed you!

Half of me gone all the time

A big empty space here without you

Just torturing this ol' heart of mine

But now I'm so happy and thankful!

Counting my blessings each day

Life's good! Cause we're back together!

And together is where we shall stay!

Believe In Yourself

 I don't mean to preach

But I want you to know

I think you're terrific

And I wish you'd think so

You've got so much going!

And it's not hard to see

How special you are

Just take it from me!

But sometimes we're looking

Thru negative eyes

Blind to the strength

That we have down inside

Then we put ourselves down

And get a case of the blues

It's a miserable feeling

And rough to go thru

So believe in yourself!

Rise above life's bad breaks!

For there's no doubt about it

You've got what it takes!

I'm So Proud Of You

 Wow! Look at you now!

You've really come far

From where you once started

To right where you are!

And it wasn't always easy

You were challenged I know

At times on this journey

It was just touch and go!

But you gave it your best

And you never gave up

No matter how long

No matter how rough 

You kept right on going

All the way thru

You know what? You rock!

I'm so proud of you!

You've Graduated! Way To Go!

 You're somethin' else!

Do you know that?

Just take a look

Where you're now at

You're all grown up

Too fast it seems

About to chase

Those hopes and dreams

I am honestly

So proud of you!

You worked so hard

To make it thru!

Now here you are

And rightly so

You've graduated!

Way to go!

You've Got This

 I know you're apprehensive

Unsure what's ahead

Imagination manipulating

The thoughts within your head

Waiting is never an easy thing

As it drags on day by day

While all those "what if" notions

Just lead the mind astray

But I believe you've got this!

Honestly I do

So hang in there and stay positive

I'm wishing the best for you!

You've Got Me All Wrong

 The things you're saying are so unfair

And they're sure not true of me!

Maybe in your mind they somehow are

But I know differently 

You make me sound so terrible!

When that's not the way I am

How can you see me in such a way?

I just don't understand!

I'm not perfect by any means

I've got plenty of mistakes to show

But I'm not as bad as you're making out

I would never stoop that low!

It's really sad and disappointing

How everything has gone

You've got the facts all turned around

And you've got me all wrong!

You've Been So Supportive

 You sure have been nice

And so inspiring too!

Believing in me

The way that you do!

You've always been there

Right from the start

While I've struggled along

Towards the dream in my heart

Sometimes it seems

I'll get nowhere at all

When I'm trying my best

Then just run into walls 

But your praise is encouraging

No matter how tough it gets

And I'm proud I can say

I haven't given up yet

You've been so supportive!

And what a difference it makes

Thank you for everything!

You've really been great!

You're Right

 You and I

Have disagreed

Seeing things

Quite differently

But I've been thinking

And looking back

At all we said

At all the facts

And even though

I stood my ground

My point of view

Has turned around

With opened eyes

I've seen the light!

And all I can say is

By golly! You're right!

You're Ok With Me

 Lately you seem really down

About who you feel you are

Thinking something's wrong with you

Like you're just not up to par

You see yourself as kind of odd

And think that's what they say

But you're not odd - you're just unique

And in a most endearing way 

 

So don't you change a single  thing

You're just as cool as you can be!

  Who you are is who you are

And you're ok with me!

You're A Wonderful Friend

 I'm sending you this

With all of my heart

To tell you sincerely

How terrific you are!

You've stuck right beside me

All the way thru 

Always loyal and supportive

And so good-hearted too

And I want you to know

You're real special to me 

I'm sure glad we met

And I always will be 

I count you a blessing

Time and again

You're a wonderful person!

You're a wonderful friend!

You Will Be Missed

 You've got your nerve

Saying goodbye 

And leaving us here

With tears in our eyes!

What in the world

Are we going to do

Carrying on

Without any you?

You can't be replaced

You're too special to us

And our hearts are breaking

So we're raising a fuss 

It just won't be the same

Not anymore 

You will be missed

And that is for sure!

You Rock!

 I'm sure you know already

How much you mean to me

I may not say it often enough

But that's how it always will be

I can't imagine my life at all

Without you being there

Even when we disagree

It's such a special thing we share

You're truly a beautiful person

And that's not just flattering talk

You really are - and in so many ways

Take it from me - You Rock!

You Need A Break

 Last time we talked

You were down in the dumps

Not feeling too chipper

You've been taking some lumps

Seems like it's one thing

Then another - no luck 

And I'll bet that some days

You just hate to get up!

But get up you do

Bless your little heart

Even when you feel like

You're falling apart

So here's wishing you better days

With no crap to take!

Life's dealt you enough of it

You need a break!

You Make Me Mad

 It's all your fault

So take the blame

And hang your head

In humble shame!

Because of you

I'm really stressed 

You put my patience

To the test!

You tick me off

Rock my boat!

Rile me up

And get my goat

Not only that

You make me mad!

And now I'm feeling

Pretty bad!

It sure has been

One lousy day!

Oh well......

I love you anyway!

You Have A Great Day

 Yesterday has passed

Like those gone before

Leaving behind it

A memory once more

But how fortunate we are

When another arrives

When we wake from our dreams

And open our eyes

Yes, a brand new beginning

Has now come our way

So a heartfelt good morning!

And you have a great day!

You Did It! You Quit!

 You did it! You quit!

That's incredible news!

I'm delighted to hear it

And just real proud of you!

I know it's not easy

It has to take guts

To give up those cigarettes

That you liked so much

Those deadly companions!

Oh - you'll miss them awhile

It might be a challenge

And a bit of a trial

But someday - not too far

You'll tell folks with pride

"I am an x-smoker

And it's great to be alive!"

You Changed My Life

 My heart was hurting

Really bad

And all I felt

Was really sad

I couldn't seem

To find a way

From that dark place

To the light of day

Then there you were!

So sweet! So right!

You walked on in

And changed my life!

Now I know

I'll make it thru

And with all my heart

I'm loving you!

You Can't Please Everyone

 As long as I've known you

I can honestly say

The best you can do

Is always your way

Your heart is in everything

Big job or small

And I know if you did it

You gave it your all!

But lately you're stressing

It's not hard to see

You're doing too much

And I'll bet you agree

There's just so many hours

In one given day

And you can't please everyone

So stop trying - ok?

You Are So Cool

 I don't mean to gush

And make a big deal

I'd just like to tell you

The way that I feel

I want you to know

In my eyes you're tops!

I admire - respect

And really like you alot!

I like how you look

I like how you act

I like who you are

And that is a fact!

You've got it together!

So whatever you do

Don't change a thing

Because you are so cool!

You Are My Greatest Inspiration

 Nobody's perfect - I know that

We all have faults indeed

But you really do come pretty close

At least you do to me

Just the way you live your life

Every day as it comes

With a wonderful upbeat attitude

And a big smile for everyone

Even sometimes when it gets so rough

And the strain is upon your brow

You give it all the heart you've got

And rise above it somehow

I truly truly admire you!

And can tell you quite honestly

You are my greatest inspiration!

And that you shall always be!

Wonderful Marvelous Pets

 They steal our hearts with innocence

With faces we just adore!

And with all their own little special ways

Endearing them more and more

Some are sweet and affectionate

Others are loners and quiet

Some insist upon running the show

And some are an absolute riot!

But all are lovable and deserving too

Of good caring permanent homes

Where kindness and love are residing within

So they'll never feel lost and alone

For day by day they're sharing our lives

As devoted as family can get

Our beautiful - precious - delightfully charming

Wonderful - marvelous pets! 

Whatever!

 Making decisions

To any degree

Is not up your alley

Obviously!

One minute you do

The next one you don't

You're thinking you will

Then thinking you won't

You should - no you shouldn't

You guess it's ok

It's yes - no it isn't

At least not today

It's this way - then that way

You come and you go

It can't be - it might be

It could be - who knows?

Oh well - Whatever!

It's a challenge - no doubt

So go rest your brain now

You'll figure it out!

What A Teacher!

 With gratitude

That's running deep

I'd like to thank you

For teaching me

For sharing your knowledge

And taking time

To get it thru

This head of mine

With your generous patience

Always there

You really show

How much you care

You've got the gift!

I can tell

What a teacher!

You've taught me well!

Was It Something I Said?

 I've been trying to call you

But you never call back

Was it something I said?

What's up with that?

Did you break your finger?

Oh my! Sure hope not!

And if you lost your phone again

I sympathize alot!

Whatever the reason

I just want to say

Hope everything's fine

And call me - ok?

Time To Let Go

 There's something important

That I need to share

I don't mean to offend you

It's just that I care

I know you're hurting

Because you cannot forget

Past choices you've made

And now deeply regret

You'd go back and change it

If only you could

To do it right this time

You're sure that you would

Well - those feelings are human!

We all make mistakes

Some big ones - some little ones

But whatever the case

There does come a day

You must let your heart know

It's time to forgive yourself

It's time to let go!

This Too Shall Pass

 I realize that lately

You've been feeling real bad

Just so overwhelmed

With the problems you've had

Trying to figure

Which way to go

Looking for answers

That you need to know

It's a hard place to be in

A tough time no doubt

But while you are struggling

To work it all out

Try to remember

Storms never do last

And like those gone before it

This too shall pass!

This Stupid Computer

 Hello there

Don't mind me

I'm just ticked off

As I can be!

I need to vent

A little bit

Before I throw

One big ol' fit!

It wears me down

It makes me cringe

I'm at the mercy

Of this dang thing!

It won't behave

No matter what!

This stupid computer

Is driving me nuts!

This Special Day

It sure is exciting

When you hardly can wait

For something to happen

That's nothing but great!

Time seems to linger

And drag on and on

Then what do you know?

The time has all gone 

The waiting is over

And you're ready to start

With a gleam in your eyes

And a smile in your heart

So congratulations!

And best wishes too

May this special day

Be just as special as you! 

This Kid's Somethin' Else

 The first time I saw you

I thought to myself

"There's no doubt about it

This kid's somethin' else!"

And you've lived up to that

In more ways than one

I'm not quite the same

But it sure has been fun 

You've inspired my heart

And you've lightened my mood

Then challenged my patience

Till I just came unglued 

But I wouldn't have missed it

Because no matter what

It's been worth every minute

And I love you so much!

And as I look at you now

I think to myself

"There's no doubt about it

You're still somethin' else!"

The Rumor's Not True

 When I heard about this

I could hardly believe

That people were saying

These things about me!

It hurts me so much!

And it's real hard to take

Sometimes I feel like

My heart will just break!

But I will get thru it!

I'll be ok

And my only defense

Is simply to say

I don't know where it started

And I don't know by who

But here's what I do know

The rumor's NOT true!

Thanks For The Laughter

 Has anyone told you

You're a little bit nuts?

Sometimes I'm thinking

"That one's out of touch!"

The stories you tell

The faces you make

Complete with sound effects!

It's too much to take!

You get me hysterical

Till I hardly can breathe!

Then I have to sit down

Cause I'm weak in the knees 

You are so funny

It just blows me away!

You've got a great gift

And I would just like to say

That you make a difference

You certainly do!

So thanks for the laughter

And best wishes to you!

So You're Getting Married

 So you're getting married!

Wow! That is great news!

And I want you to know

I'm real happy for you 

There is nothing sweeter

That I can think of

Than finding the right one

And falling in love 

It's a beautiful thing 

And I just have to say

You deserve all the joy

On your wedding day 

I wish you both happiness

You know that I do

So Congratulations!

And I'll talk to you soon!

So You Made A Mistake

 I realize you're feeling badly

And would like to turn back time

To undo something I know

Has been staying on your mind

So you made a mistake - you're human!

No more - no less than that

Nobody here is perfect

And you need to give yourself slack

To live and to learn isn't easy

But that's what we all have to do

There really is no way around it

Not even for nice people - like you!

Thinking Of You

You'd be surprised

Just how many times

For no particular reason

You're here on my mind

And I find myself wondering

How you're doing right then

With my honest intentions

To call....once again 

I know I get sidetracked

And fall out of touch

But you're never forgotten

You matter too much!

So when we seem distant

Whatever you do

Please know in your heart

I'm thinking of you!

So Special To Me

 I was just thinking

As I so often do

How much I love

And appreciate you!

For all that you've given

For all that you are

I could never replace you

Here in my heart!

You make a big difference

In your own little ways

I'd feel lost without you

I can honestly say

Thru good times and bad

Thru wrong and thru right

I'm thankful and happy

You're here in my life

So Glad You Were There

I guess that I feel

Just like everyone else

I hate to be laid up

And can't do for myself!

It's difficult to handle

The frustration in store

When even the little things

Become a big chore!

But you - bless your heart

Were an angel to me!

Nursing and comforting

In a time of great need

It was easy to see

You give the best that you can

So I knew very well

I was in real good hands

You helped me get better

With such skill and care

I'll always be thankful

And so glad you were there!

Single Again

There goes that dream

I've had for so long

Of love never ending

Like a beautiful song

Right out of the blue

It came to an end

Got left all alone

Now I'm single again!

Well it's no big thing

Today's a new day

The heartache won't kill me

And I'll be ok

Just give me a minute

Gotta do a reset

I'm hurt - but I've got this!

Don't count me out yet!

Since You Lost Your Dear Pet

I realize there's nothing

That I can say

To ease the sadness

You're feeling today

Since you lost your dear pet

And companion too

Your wonderful friend

So cherished by you!

I just want you to know

At this difficult time

It's with deep understanding

You're here on my mind

When it comes to living

This is such a hard part

And I'm wishing you comfort

With all of my heart!

Since You And I Broke Up

Lately nothing seems to change

And like any other day

I wake up with this broken heart

That just won't go away

The only things I think about

Since you and I broke up

Is how very much I'm loving you

And long to feel your touch

To feel you holding me again

The way you used to do

To talk and laugh and just be together

Would be a dream come true!

But maybe it's only fairy tales

That have that happy end

In any case I'll be alright

And you know where I am

See You Online

Hello again!

What's goin' on?

It's nice I can say

That it hasn't been long

Between Email - Facebook

Instagram and stuff

There's always a way

For us to keep up!

Sure glad about that!

You're a favorite of mine!

T-T-Y-L

See you online!

Remember This Love

It's a wonderful day 

Such a special one too

And I want you to know

I'm so happy for you!

If only all things

You go thru in life

Could come up to this

It sure would be nice!

You'll have many good times

Though some may be rough

That's just how it is

For each one of us

And those are the times

When you just rise above

To remember this day

To remember this love!
