Life: Refresh and Renew. Poems x 2.
life goes on
minute by minute
some days are a draw
some days you win it.
life goes on
hour by hour
some days are smiles
some days have sorrows.
life goes on
day by day
some days we are benched
some days we get to play.
life goes on
it has its ups and downs
the near misses and the pretty crowns
the touch of a hand or a slap on the face
life goes on in this thing called the human race.

I let the rain soak through my body
the tears fell down my face as I cried
feeling the love and the power flow through me
I looked towards the heavens and I sighed.
The stress of the world and all around me
melted and faded away
in this moment, nothing could touch me and tear at my heart
as the droplets washed over me as I swayed.
The sweet little things and the days of my youth
came back to me in a flash and I was there
running through fields and laughing with all of my heart
to me life was wonderful and light and as golden as my hair.
Time keeps on ticking and it changes things
and sometimes our lives get cloudy and gray
but when I'm feeling hurt and the coldness of the world
I stand outside, my face to the stars, and let my cares wash away with the rain.
The cruelness and bad days
puddle and float at my feet
The rude people and ugly faces flow down the hill
and I wave and blow kisses as they leave.
The rain has now stopped and I look to the sky
the stars seem to twinkle and shine just for me
I'm happy and fresh and I smile to the world
in my squeaky clean body, the good is all that I see.
