How To Create The Wow Factor
Loaded With Enthusiasm
Stuffed more than a Thanksgiving turkey
Tell people the way it is
Things didn't work out
No matter what
I am still here
A little shock therapy might help
But I thought of a different approach
Bring it on
All my energy and my thoughts rolled into a ball
It still doesn't work
It is alright
The stars in the sky are in line
No
That was a plane flying bye
What the hey
It's going to be a great day
That was my toe caught on the leg of our dresser
Who put that there
Give me a few potato chips
I will finish the whole bowl
If you need help I will be there
When I am stressed or troubled
Noone is there
I will not call
I will not ask
I think you should know
How could you possibly see and feel what is tucked away inside of me ?
Like a blanket folded under the bed
It looks good on the outside
In the inside nobody can figure out
People complain when the weather is lousy
I do not understand why people don't enjoy it anyway
May it be the rain or the hot sun
The winter snow and the bitter cold followed by hail
Don't you see the beauty in it all
I keep trying to make people realize
What we have now
Is rich and wonderful
My wife is going to brush her teeth and go to bed
She caught a cold out of the blue
A slight sore throat and a dry cough
While I get my second wind
Watching t.v. was so much fun
Now my head is racing
Faster than a drag race on the hot payment
I can't believe
I just got bit in the left leg behind the knee
We can't seem to find the light blanket
We leave on the bed
We put it away last summer
And we haven't seen it sense
Things keep popping up
Like stones around a wagon train
I piece each event together
Like popcorn on a string
Dangling from our Christmas tree as kids
The hour turned to two o'clock
Some say that time goes so slow
I know it flew bye
Even though it is early in the morning
I am looking for the express train that took it away

All I can say is I have to get through summer first. Summer always came with the Midsummer festivities in Latvia, other memories, the Fourth of July picnic the US Embassy in Riga hosted, his birthday, and in August it will be 2years since he went away, If I manage to get through another summer I'll be OK. At least here the memories are not right in front of me of the places and faces. Hope you're having a great weekend.
