How, Why and Where

How, Why and Where

Why is that we hardly ever practice what we preach

Why is it that we question the best of intentions

How is we choose not to respect each other as we ask for that same respect
That we are rejecting

How is it that that all we want is to be greedy and only wanting to make money

Why is it that we turn a blind eye to the pain that we cause

How is it that we force people to feel the weight of the world on their shoulders
Rather than sharing the responsibility

Why is there so much negativity and selfishness in this world

Why can’t we effectively teach fairness and equality

What ever happened to our principles

Where did our best intentions go wrong with our world

The desperado

The Desperado

As you look down the long road we call life, you feel like the desperado
Who only knows the highway run which makes it feel like
A lonely road, the lonely road that is mythical to the old time cowboys
Who where desperado’s

You wonder how to get past the loneliness you feel, that feels like it is driving
You home to a home that you barely even know, as you go along it seems like you
Are a prisoner just along for the ride given the occasional freedom during those
Short respites until you learn to listen to your heart which allows you to break
Free from the chains that you held so close for so long

As you walk away from those fallen chains to face the once lonely road, you realize
That all you had to do is let someone in through that desperado shell to find
Out what you have been missing

the times of our lives

The time of our lives

As little kids time always seems to go on forever and ever
Even as our parents try to teach us that there is a time for everything

As kids time just keeps going and going yet we always rush to get as much fun
Into the days in between the things we must do

As teens, time is something we never have enough of when it comes to
Doing the things that we want to do

As young adults we are always trying to find the time to do all of the things
That we never seem to have the time to do even when it comes to things we love

As we settle into adulthood time seems to blur the line between the days so that they
Seem to blend together when we don’t want them too yet drag on when we
Don’t expect them too

After we are old and grey we reflect on the times of our lives that still remain with us after
All this time only to wonder where did all of the time go

The early morning walk

The Early Morning Walk

As you walk in the early morning while you are watching the first light
Of dawn you almost start meandering while in the quiet reflection of
Days gone by

While looking out at the mountain tops you look at them like it was your first
Time seeing them and they mesmerize you almost into a trance from
The sheer beauty of them

As the sun slowly rises you can see its reflection on the homes scattered across
The mountainside and ponder how beautifully quiet it must be there

As the sun gives the first light of day you see the early morning mist that leaves
The dew drops on the leaves you feel when you rustle them and the grass
That you walk on

As you walk by and feel the dew on the leaves you start thinking that, that little
Bit felt great while you are taking in the cool refreshing feeling that those
Dew filled leaves gives you on your bare skin

You start reflecting on how much fun it was in those days gone by to be
Watching the sun come up when you had nothing else to do but relax and
Enjoy your free time

When you’re almost done with your early morning walk you can see the sun rise even
Higher allowing you to see the beauty of the mountainside with the homes
That dot them and you wish that you had that scene as your back yard
