Memories taught me the lessons I learned
To take in with every passing turnWith every life’s road traveled.
My eyes close as I see time flow
From time as a child,care free and wild.
My wild hair growing and scares showing
The late night games played as a child.
How I miss the care free imagination innocent and mild.
A smile grows as the past shows
Of the desires and dreams of a young boy grow.
Aging seemed to take forever
Even through the green clovers in
The field by the culver where games where played
With my parents I would persuade
Just to stay to play just a little bit longer.
The years did show as I began to grow
And these where the best times I know.
A teeny bobber and compulsive shopper
These times where the topper of them all.
With my team we won races
And drama plays with excited faces
How I wish I could be back in those places!
Late on sight my parents I would fight
So I can stay up later with every passing night.
Girls and cars gave me scares
With that I learned but for it I still urn.
Now each year goes faster with
Every day that passes here
Just wishing that the good times would stay
So I would not have to say good-bye to another passing day.
Now new memorize are to be madeWith every year that will fade.
Every now and then I see the places I have been
In hope to steal a glimpse of the time that hand been
And just maybe, one last time, be there once again.

Live a Lively Life
I look in the mirror and who do I see?
A mysterious boy, staring right back at me.
Once I was quiet, so timid, and shy
With just one cruel word, I'd tremble and cry.
I used to worry 'bout what people would say,
I forgot to live life, and treasure each day."
Nobody loves me. God, nobody cares!."
I walked through my life, unwilling to share.
Then something happened, an odd sort of thing
I started to change the way I did think.
I looked to myself, and what did I need,
And understood, I just needed to be me.
Now my life is happier, and in a way better place,
You can see it is written all over my face.
I don't need money, and I don't need fame.
I don't need possesions, nor lots of acclaim
For, all I have found is found within
It's a belief in myself, and a stiff upper chin
Pain and sorrow, no more are my chains
I refuse to go back to that life again.
Believe in yourself, be honest with all.
Try to care for others, and let down your walls.
You give what you get, you get what you give.
And to live a good life, remember to live.
