Time to plan the trip. Where will we go?

What will we do? Where will we stay?

I can't wait til time passes,

I can't wait til vacation day!

 

It's time to pack, what should we bring?

That should do it, I hope we haven't forgotten anything.

 

The big day is tomorrow, hope we can sleep tonight.

We'll be up in the morning, before the sun's first light.

 

The day is finally here, we're filled with anticipation.

Pack the car, it's time to begin our vacation!

 

An hour on the road and we hear these questions,

Are we there yet? How much longer will it be?

We can't wait til time passes, there will be so much to see.

 

We finally arrived, to where we will stay.

Time to freshen up & plan the rest of the day.

 

Out we go to look around and have some fun.

We try to do as much as we can , before the day is done.

 

Several days later we realize, the time has gone by so fast.

It's hard to believe this vacation day is our last.

 

We see and do all that we can,

trying to ensure we have done everything that we had planned.

 

Time to pack our belongings once again.

Sad to say our trip is nearing it's end.

 

The places start to look familiar as we drive past.

We're almost there, at last.

 

This vacation was the best,

but it's great to be home where we can get a good rest.

 

It's great to be home with the people for whom we care.

We had a wonderful time and have lots of great memories to share.

Lately I find, that a new idea has come to mind,

I'm think'n about more than a vacation,

more like a permanent relocation.

 

Some place hot would be nice,

like a tropical paradise.

 

Some place where I don't have to be told,

I have to put up with the miserable cold.

 

Some place where the sun always shines bright,

and it stays warm all night.

 

Some place with swaying palm trees,

and a warm southernly breeze.

 

Some place where I can keep my tan,

and feel my bare feet in the sand.

 

Some place where I will always wear a smile,

and forget about all life's worries for a while.

Life is alot like the weather,

no one can really predict what the next day will bring.

 

Will the day be sunny or cloudy, happy or sad?

 

The days may be fair for a several day stretch or

those rainy days may arise making things a bit more difficult.

Thus, the saying "Save for a rainy day" - hard times.

 

A day may appear to be average,

just another day & then suddenly, lightening may strike

and cause unthinkable damage.

 

If the days are difficult and cloudy,

remember they say " the sun will come out tomorrow."

So try not to dwell in sorrow.

 

Sometimes when things get too extreme,

we must rest for a bit,

but life does go on and we mustn't quit.

Internet Friends

 

I heard a young child tell a lie today, he said he didn't do it.

It was obvious he was lying, but he thought no one could see through it.

 

His eyes were wide, he tried his best to look innocent.

The truth was discovered & he received a punishment.

 

If only he had told the truth, it would have been forgiven,

but he decided to tell the lie and had to learn his lesson.

 

I heard a young woman tell a lie today, she said she was in a different place.

She was speaking on a phone, they could not see the guilt on her face.

 

They only wanted to keep her safe, they didn't want to stop her fun.

I only hope she learns this lesson, before any harm is done.

 

I heard a man tell a lie today and it made me ponder.

He seemed like the kind of fellow, who's eye liked to wonder.

 

His lie was used to hide the fact that he was seeing someone new.

Why couldn't he tell the truth, so that she could find someone else too?

 

I have heard many lies today, but what did they gain?

A punishment for him, she's in harms way, & did he save anyones pain?

 

The truth is a powerful thing, it will break free from the lie.

So maybe being honest to one another is worth a try.

Your eyes can say so much.

They show all that you are feeling.

They can say I love you without even a touch.

 

When you are being dishonest,

They tell the truth.

They look away and find somewhere else to rest.

 

When you are happy and excited,

They shine brightly.

They smile at me delighted.

 

When you are depressed and feeling down,

They are sad.

They seem to be wearing a frown.

 

Your eyes can speak without a single word.

They speak louder than anything

I've ever heard.

 

Your eyes tell me how you feel inside.

They show me things that words

sometimes hide.

Pets are a blessing to those that own them.

They can easily become one's best friend.

 

The first to greet you, when you arrive home.

There to keep you company, when you feel alone.

 

Someone to talk to, when you're feeling sad.

Not giving any advice, but making you not feel so bad.

 

Sometimes you feel tired and under the weather.

Your pet is there to cuddle and make you feel better.

 

When you're feeling well and having a good day,

Your pet is more than ready, to have some fun and play.

 

Some people change & go their separate ways,

but your pet will stay with you until his last days.

 

They're always there to give you all the love they have to give.

A true & faithful friend for as long as they live.

 

Their love is pure and innocent, not motivated by greed.

So open your heart, and make sure you give them, all the love they need.

I made a wish on a falling star.

I'm still waiting on that fancy car.

 

I picked a 4 leaf clover and put it in a locket.

I found a penny heads up and put it in my pocket.

 

I was in Heaven,

that day I rolled a seven.

 

I have a Horse shoe hanging on my wall, the right way,

but everytime I wear that shirt I have a bad day.

 

I threw salt over my shoulder after that little spill,

so why did that waiter bring such a high bill?

 

A black cat crossed in front of my truck

and I broke that mirror & had seven years bad luck.

 

Should have worn my lucky socks with that suit.

My little rabbit's foot sure looked cute.

 

Oh my, Friday the 13th is coming real soon.

There's gonna be alot of crazy people out with that full moon.

 

I wouldn't go under that ladder if I were you.

You just never know what might be true. ;)

Life in a fish bowl must be pretty boring.

I watch Goldy beg for food when she see me in the morning.

 

She acts as if it has been a long time, since she has been fed.

But I gave her a large dash before I went to bed.

 

Everytime I stop for a peak, she does a little dance.

I bet she would swim right out of that bowl, if she had the chance.

 

It seems all she wants to do is eat, but maybe that's because all she gets to do

is swim in circles all day.

I think very soon I will take her to a pond and watch her swim away.
