Hey What Are You Doing Now ?
You Are So Good
Then less than five minutes later you are so bad
Our cat Charlotte never ceases to surprise us
What am I going to do with you ?
I look at my beautiful kitchen curtains
Clawed in so many ways
Well at least I can't complain
You give the curtains two uses
One they look nice and block the strong sun on a hot day
Now they are also a hanging scratching curtain
A one of a kind
They don't even sell them in stores yet
For your pleasure and desire
I sit here behind a cool fan
Looking at the blazing sun beating down on the light blue wooden stairs
Eating a little lunch
Rolled up bologna and cheese slices
Topped off with a big handful of prunes
Don't forget a nice tall glass of ice cold water
I walked outside and quickly headed inside
The heat bothers me more lately
Maybe as I get older my body is changing
I keep pumping fruits and vegetables
Trying to change my feelings
They make me feel good and healthy
If I can feel good inside
It is only a matter of time when I feel that way on the outside
I love fresh red grapes and those tiny little petite carrots
I still don't like the sun
I gave myself a good shave and cut my finger and toe nails
These are things nobody ever talks about
Even though they do make a big difference
I feel clean and neat
The same feeling right after I get a hair cut
I rolled all these emotions together to make me feel better
I am looking for something positive
This is one of my two days off
I choose to write instead of watching t.v.
Sometimes I read a little
I really want to go outside
I am going to wait to the sun goes down
Finishing off with brushing my teeth
Washing up a few dishes I used
I enjoy spending time at rest
Relaxing in my kitchen chair
Knowing I don't have to do anything or go anywhere
All week I travel a great distance from place to place
Everything from taking a one a day vitamin to a teaspoon of honey
I do the best to take care of my body
My body responds by taking care of my mind
I sit here taking deep breaths
They are healthy for you
I think every day should be turned into a poem
Where we tell what's on our mind
The joys of love and life and what really matters
It would be awesome if it rhymed
If it didn't that would be fine
The important thing is would be that person we want to be
Seeing ourselves in a special way
Loving who we are first
Then loving other people that make our day fulfilling
Like a chocolate frosted Bavarian cream filled donut
Without the calories and all the processed sugar but just as sweet
