Why I Love Mornings

When I woke up this morning
As I usually do
The first thing my eyes focused on
Was a beautiful woman
And that woman was you
But this is how it is every morning
And for me is the best way to start my day
Because of you I love mornings

It is a Most Beautiful Day

It is a beautiful day
A great day for just hanging out
A great day to jump and shout
An just be thankful
For all of God's blessings
And to contemplate life
Yes. it is a most beautiful day

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!
Another year has passed
I wonder where the time has gone
It is true that time passes way too fast
It seems it was just yesterday
When you entered in my life
You made my dream of dreams come true
When you became my wife
Now, as I think of the many years
That have passed us by
Since you said 'I do'
I hope you are glad
That you married me
Because I am still in love
With You!

I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You

I can't take my eyes off of you

You are always so very beautiful

It doesn't matter what you wear

In workout clothes or Sunday best

I even like you bare

In fact, bare naked is really good

At least from my point of view

From head to toe and back again

I can't take my eyes off off you

You are always so very beautiful

I can't think of more to say

Except that I love you more and more

And even more with each passing day

I can't take my eyes off of you

How Long Has it Been? It Seems Just Like Yesterday

How long has it been?
Has it really been that long ago?
For me it seems just like yesterday. . .
Where did all of that time go?

I remember when I first saw you
And I fell immediately in love
I can't really explain the feeling
But I think Cupid gave me a shove

To me it seems like yesterday
Or perhaps just a week or two before
When we had just barely met
And you kissed me at your door

Has it really been that long ago?
I remember looking into your eyes
Yet, I don't think you have ever realized
Your power to hypnotize

I have loved you from the very start
Right from the very beginning
Yet, you probably never realized
How you set my heart a spinning

So spin it does after all these years
And I will love you always come what may
My heart will always be filled all full with love
As though I just fell in love with you yesterday

Quit Complaining and Get to Work

For some their work is drudgery
Cursing themselves and their bosses
But mostly themselves for poor career choices
With their voices echoing daily in their heads
About the poor choices they have made
Yet, choices they have many times
Again and again, then again
They just don't get it
It all seems a sin
Especially when you take time to think about it
So, first you never give up and you never give in
Yes, you heard me right in that you never, ever quit
That is one of the first rules of true-life survival
No matter what, you never, ever quit, ever
Then you start looking for solutions
Because there is always a solution
Always, always, and always
It isn't really very hard
In fact, it is simple
But you have to work
And that takes a willingness
Along with a big shift in attitude
With the willingness including some time
In fact, probably lots and lots of that infinite thing
That thing that most of us succeed in wasting
Squandering our time much of our lives
So, start by being more effective
You have a brain so use it
Think to the future
Make some plans
Then do it
Get up
Set on your feet
Give your body a treat
Just moving will make you feel neat
And feel the blood flowing as you do something
For sure, it should be something that is productive
Being productive and moving doesn't give you much time
Especially to feel sorry for yourself and to complain
And remember this really simple old adage
That attitude determines your altitude
You can slink around and complain
Or you can soar with the eagles
And so we are back to choices
Our Free Will is a true gift
We really can choose
No time to snooze
Again, get up
Get going
Work can be a joy
And it can be gratifying
So ask yourself why you work
And if you don't like the answer
Then look for a solution and go for it
Don't be a complaining, miserable fool
Consider learning something entirely new
The answer may well be in simply going to school
There is another old adage, but not to be believed
Because you can most certainly teach old dogs
And even better yet, teach them new tricks
Which makes this whole process easy
Because, get this, you are not a dog
So get your hindquarters of the log
Get yourself out of life's bog
Go out for a walk, try a jog
Then stop being a jerk
And get to work
You will love it

You Are So Beautiful in the Morning!

You are so beautiful in the morning!

You are so beautiful in the morning
Shining brighter than bright
Your body always glistening
In the morning light

You are so beautiful in the morning
Always with your happy smile
Only love and happiness
Never with any guile

You are so beautiful in the morning
You always capture my heart
Love in surely in the making
In love from the very start

You are so beautiful in the morning
Shining brighter than bright
The day is just beginning
An I hold you tight

You are so beautiful in the morning
You have got me mesmerized
The beckoning in your eyes
Has me hypnotized

You are so beautiful in the morning
I want to be with you all the day
To be at your beckon call
Then at nighttime play

You are so beautiful in the morning!

"Making Time"

Time
There is never enough
But I remember "making time"
Oh, how sublime it was
To be "making time"
Taking on the phone
Until all hours of the night
Going for long walks
Holding hands
Sneaking a kiss . . .
Ah, "making time"
How great it was
Such feelings
Of love
Excitement
Adventure
And more kissing
Holding and hugging
It was young love
Yet, there was never enough time
For "making time"
But it was oh, so sublime

There Isn't Enough Time

There isn't enough time in the day
In fact, there just isn't enough time, period
Still, we all have all of the time that there is
We just don't use the time we have effectively
Yet, the problem remain the very same as stated
There just isn't enough time in the day
Which is true for each all of us
Even the effective ones
The problem with time is simple
Time is predictable and always constant
Where people are not predictable or constant
The facts about time are totally unchangeable
You can't kill time or waste it
Plus you can make it up
And you can't save it
Time is just time
And there isn't enough of it

Note: the above really isn't very original.
It was what was on my mind today.

Driving the Lonely Road

Driving a lonely road
Thinking about my life
Following the road
With no goal in sight
With no map to follow
My destination unknown
Wondering where I'm going
And if my future will be bright

Now some might say I'm lost
Which could be the truth
But I'm sure I'll find my way
As I fancy myself a sleuth
So lost or not I go forward
I don't want to look back
I'll go where the road leads
Just give me a little slack

The future is everything
A true adventure to be sure
The past holds good and bad
But your future can be pure
Looking back just obscures
Having faith in the future
And a prayerful heart
Will help me to endure

So down the lonely road I go
Moving straight ahead
Not knowing if I'll win
Or even just place or show
But knowing I will arrive
With all my ducks lined up
Full of faith, going forward
And moving straight ahead

So, never look back
The past can't be changed
There is no future in the past
Have faith in God
And talk to Him in prayer
And lost you will never be
He will loosen your heavy load
As you drive the lonely road

Time for Bed and Craziness in My Head

Time for bed
That's what you said
Time for bed
And off you went
But as you kissed me
A goodnight kiss
You left your scent
Leaving me there
With you not knowing
What your kiss meant
Not just to me
But to my carnal mind
As you left the room
Leaving me behind
When off you went
Because as you said
It was time for bed
Which made for . . .
Well, a kind of craziness
Throughout my body
And in my head

The Language of Love

I love your softness
Your smooth skin speaks to me
And I yearn to touch and caress you
From head to toe and back again to your head
And every part of you in between speaks to me
Causing my eyes and my mind to caress you too

At night it is worst
Carnal desires surging
With a yearning to hold you
To feel your skin speak to me
With my caressing touch responding
Speaking back in the language of love

Yet, days are often the same
Together or apart, if doesn't matter
The desires and feelings are always there
Often finding myself caressing you from afar
Whether you are across town or just in another room
It seems I am always yearning for the feel of your softness

Yes, I love your softness
Your smooth skin speaking to me
Feeling within me a burning yearning
To take you in my arms and hold you close
So that our skin and bodies can speak to each other
In the soft and sweet language that without words is called love

Special Nights and Special Time With You

It is quiet on the home front
You are sitting by the fireplace
Reading one of your professional books
While I am in the office satisfied with life
And satisfied just being under the same roof with you

Maybe it isn't the most ideal form of togetherness
But it seems to be working for the two of us for now
Yes, I would prefer doing some snuggling under the covers
And if I had it my way that is exactly where we would be right now
But that is my one-track romantic mind speaking of what is usually on my mind

Fortunately, all nights are not like this one
Some nights we will watch a movie on Net Flicks
Or occasionally play one of our favorite board games
Sometimes inviting friends over to share a special dessert
And other evenings just taking a moonlight walk in the neighborhood

But for me my vote is for the snuggling
Especially when it involves touching and hugging
Along with tender caresses and long sweet and moist kisses
Ah, those kind of special, infrequent nights are my very most favorites
And perhaps it is the infrequency of such nights that make them so special
