 WHEN KELLY WANTS 
 THE PARTY TO END 
 ON THIS SIDE OF SOON
 HE BEGINS TO USE
 HIS SPECIAL ICE CUBES
 THAT ALWAYS SEEM
 TO DO THE TRICK
  
 HE RUNS A SMALL
 TAXI SERVICE
 A PART TIME JOB
 EVERYONE PAYS
 FOR THEIR RIDE HOME
 AND CLAIM TOO
 THAT HIS PARTIES ARE THE BEST

 Sometimes the normal things 
 That occur in life will trigger
 A thought that is worth sharing 
  
 It happened to me today
 Just a little while ago
 When answering an email
  
 I started to just write
 When I remembered
 That it would be nice
  
 To have a salutation to the 
 Recipient before I just
 Start out with my babble
  
 I backed up and began again
 This time I expressed that
 Careless manners become
  
 A way of life that we may
 Come to regret when there
 Is no time left to explain
  
 I started stating that 
 I valued our friendship
 That is meant a great
  
 Deal to me and I 
 Wanted him to know
 That I appreciated
  
 All that he has done
 For me up to now and
 Thanked him for accepting me
  
 I felt a lot better
 Kindness is uplifting
 At any time and often

 There are a lot of ways 
    to look at things in life
 We are all born, if not aborted, 
    we live for a while and then we die
 Some point to the grave stones 
    and look at the dates
 We look at the dash between 
    that represents all of the years in between
 How did we use all of that time.  
    It all falls back on us
 You ask yourself, 
    what would you like your dash to represent?
  
 If you want to look back 
    on a life that’s full
 You have to start early 
    and prepare
 You get your house in order 
    as the saying goes
 Begin with the little things 
    and do them well
 Keep yourself clean and tidy; 
    gather your thoughts 
 Plan ahead so you know 
    what you have to do tomorrow
  
 You find yourself ready 
    for bigger commitments and
 Then there is no holding you back; 
    you are on your way
 Never settle on less 
    than your best
 you’ll be alright
    trust me

 You wave as a car travels by you 
 Going the other way
 Sometimes they wave back, other times not
 Maybe they didn’t notice or didn’t care
 Possibly in a hurry or angry
  
 A Monarch butterfly
 Floats from flower to flower
 I hum a little song of welcome
 I watch as it flies away
  
 Holding out my hand full of sunflower seed
 I wait for a Chickadee to fly over and feed
 I wait and wait; there are many birds
 Eventually one comes
 Takes a seed and flies away
  
 Deer are not docile; they are very edgy
 Dash away if they are startled
 Fight each other over food
 Even when there is plenty
 They are not, by nature, pets
  
 I think I hear my neighbors
 Talking loudly on the road, but
 Not harshly or vehemently
 They often walk and talk
 I look up through the trees
 Several Sand-hill cranes are
 Flying and squawking 
 It is not my neighbors
 Life is great

 Love is funny or it’s sad
 Or it’s quiet or it’s mad 
 It’s a good thing or it’s bad
      But beautiful                
 Beautiful to take a chance and if you fail, you fail
 And I’m thinking I wouldn’t mind at all

 Love is tearful or it’s gay
 It’s a problem or its play
 It’s a heartache either way 
      But Beautiful
 And I’m thinking if you were mine, I’d never let you go
 And that would be beautiful, I know

 Love is tearful or it’s gay
 It’s a problem or its play
 It’s a heartache either way
      But Beautiful
 And I’m thinking if you were mine, I’d never let you go
 And that would be beautiful, I know
