Overnight hospital stay

In my mind inside my head

I lay awake on this bed

Tossing turning

Thinking learning

My eyes open, burning.

My hopes up, concerned me

What's good enough, what's not

what's talked about, what's not

what's thought about I forgot

I give 100% to take home 10

Time is everything

How can I mend?

Powerful one minute, helpless the next

So pityful as I rest

There's so much more, there's so much left

So many goals that I have set

I'm not done with this world

I live for my girls....

All these thoughts racing as my head twirls.

To much left to prove

with my faith I will never lose

WE all have a choice

I know what I choose

Of course nobody every wants that choice to be said...

These are just my thoughts as I lay in this bed........

2 Minutes

It's one in the morning and I just got home
All day around people and I feel all alone
I peep at you while you sleep and
I'm amazed how you've grown
You grasp my lungs when I hear your voice on the phone
I'm so proud that you're my blood, my flesh, my bone.
This isn't how I wanted to raise you.... I should've known
I hate missing out on these parts of your life
I'm just so thankful that your Mom is my Wife
Every day goes by, faster and faster
like a book with out any chapters
I need your smile, I need your laughter
This story will have a happy ever after
Its one in the morning and I'm sad that I see your toys on the floor
2 Minutes just isn't enough, so let's start with 4.........

CHECK NEXT TO THE BOX

The presidency is suppose to represent me?
How can that be?
We are America sea to shining sea!
Landlocked in unity
Immune to mutiny
Left wing and right wing,
What does that mean?
How can there be differences with in a team?
If it were a sports team, it would be made to be a scene.
We need to put our separate views to rest and a check the box next to the
mascot that fits us best.
Who would even what to run for such a mess?
Seriously could our candidates be more worthless?
These upcoming vote will be the test
This decision reflects the future we suggest
I 'm surprised we we can't vote yet by sending a text
What's next?
Have I said it yet? What a mess!!
My next purchase might as well be a gun and a bullet proof vest
This market is stressed from Bush being reckless
I watch the news on CBS and that's all I see is BS......
This is our means of communication.
Nothing positive, just shootings
economic crashes and Bush on vacation
These are tough times that we are facing and yet we still spend money on other nations..
Where is our umbrella in this stormy weather?
Which of the two men will be the one we measure?
When will bi-partisans work together?
Leadership is self-please.
It's here and now... Time is treasure..
We can't complain about what to expect?
Either one elected is due our respect
Change is immanent no matter who we elect.....

Where do I start?

Where do I start,
Where do I finish,
I might as well be the best,
Since I am all in this.
Sacrifice is my vice
is that possible?
The balance between work and family
is my obstacle
Hours fly by and The Days pass
So do the times I miss my Daughter's laughs.
I'm the head of the house,
Yet I am invisible
I see pasta more than I see my spouse,
That is miserable.
I am invincible,
So I once thought,
I am learning hard lessons
from what this life has taught.
I am in this, so I might as well finish

A Pebble in the Road

Running full, ducking time
Searching for meaning in every sign
I date my history in between these lines
This helps bind the rhymes that form in my mind
I Start the day Hustling and begin the grind
Pounding pavement pulling pine
persistently being passionate in my popular prime
I back up and keep moving
I take the punches
I sport the bruising
I won't get choose, cause I do the choosing
Only me against them and there is no loosing.
There are always potholes in life's road
The one less traveled is the one less chose
I trust no one...
I sleep with one eye closed
The one who swallows there pride
is the one that grows.
I care so my sensitivity shows
In life you only get one shot
Sometimes a snap shot is all we got
I have to accept the advice given and teach the lesson taught
Focused now beyound belief
back to reality and never admit defeat
Getting past this road block in life's street
Switching gears to the the mode of elite
It's not enough just to know
It's how I handle this pebble in the road..

Possible Colors

White is noise
Black as silence
Orange is poise
Red as violence
Blue is boys
Green as finance
Yellow is joys
Grey is my chance........

Sizing

If you have heart and soul
then you've had highs and lows
Peaks and Valleys
I've counted, never kept a tally
I just take life so serious
sometimes so scared to be curious
That's when I get furious and let
my inferiors get me delirious.
I have to end trying to be everyone's friend
I awake asking myself what message today do I want to send?
My heavy heart fills my passion into a bottle
while I live life in full throttle
I'm balancing trying to be a "role-model"

I feel all these eyes on me
When in myself,I am looking for a key
to all the doors that slam in my face
Funny we have doors when we all share the same space
If that is the case then what puts people in there place?
Is life really a race or just a chase?

To me life is my wife, my daughter
they are my blood, flesh and water
They are my existence to why I am here
It can't just be this restaurant career

My fear is that day it all comes clear
that I can't control
what comes from my heart
and what speaks from my soul
Every hole in my pocket is easy to sew
All the passion in my veins freely flows

That is my high
Those are my lows.
