"I realized it mattered nothing what they might say"


Poem Artwork


The Time of My Life

As I waited for the telephone to ring one day
All the while hoping the mail might bring me some good news
I realized it mattered nothing what they might say

My poems work for me (and I hope they work for you)

We each have an opinion but what matters is whose
Is the one I choose to care about and listen to

Chimpanzees comfort each other with hugs and kisses
I only wish we could be as kind as they would be
Stumbling alone through hits and staggering through misses

I guess I wish I were as kind as a chimpanzee

Because no one leaves here alive I was born to lose
I must just do it graciously whatever I do

Because no one comes here in vain I was born to win
Whatever I do I must just do it graciously
Now as I wait for the time of my life to begin

...I am!!
sometimes I am guilty of the chimp pack smoozy thing :(
I am a lover & try to contaminate other with a smile & hug
(Yes I Know It's Because I Need One)
but I do like to swing from my own tree & watch the gorrilas from time to time ;)

Graciously whatever I do. And Now as I wait for the time of my life to begin, beautiful ending to a great poem. Fanciful full of wisdom and truth.
