Follow our dumb rules
Not because they make good sense
But because they’re ours

416

They push and they pull
All expecting you to be
The thing they need most

A moment in time
Being what I yearn to be
It soon passes away

How could I forget
About going in to work?
And what if I did?

The rhetoric flies
He’ll destroy America
They’re driven by fear

412

Coming in early
Staying late, bringing work home
Feels just like old times

Monday, January 25, 2010

411

Feel like a grown-up
In control and confident
Making decisions

Duties to perform
Some you dread, some you don’t mind
They all must get done

409

Screams at the airport
Children scared and out of sorts
I know how they feel

408

It’s not paranoid
To see plots all around you
Just plots within plots

407

They’re not coming back
I don’t know how to get home
I’m lost forever

Drop him off and go
Does he ever get scared of
Being in strange places?

Some folks find problems
Wherever they go. Nothing
Is quite good enough

She likes to read books
Snuggled together in bed
Prefers Mom to me

403

Target is the place
For footballs and dance outfits
What a parent needs

402

There is no running
The game is golf not hockey
Will they ever learn?

Friday, January 15, 2010

401

Go at your own pace
Don’t let them push you around
You are in control

Thursday, January 14, 2010

400

You live day to day
They’re looking years down the road
You must act as one

Don’t ask them what’s next
Tell them where you are going
And let them adjust

A happy place for
Little girls and little boys
Keep them warm and safe

Monday, January 11, 2010

397

Demands on my time
Competing priorities
Just can’t do it all

Sunday, January 10, 2010

396

Pain in my stomach
Perhaps it’s something I ate
If not something worse

Saturday, January 9, 2010

395

Bugs in the salad
Wonder how many I ate
Better not to know

394

Time at the office
Leaves little time to be home
Should spend it wisely

Thursday, January 7, 2010

393

Waiting for a friend
Lunch talk to help us realize
Our full potential

Wednesday, January 6, 2010

392

I just can’t relax
I’m driving my wife crazy
I’ve no peace inside

Tuesday, January 5, 2010

391

Stop wasting your time
On things that don’t advance goals
You must stay focused

Monday, January 4, 2010

390

Ignore or confront?
There should be a middle way
To handle problems

They can’t get along
Nor meet each other half way
They won’t even speak

Saturday, January 2, 2010

388

I am what I do
I am what people perceive
I have lost myself

Friday, January 1, 2010

387

A thousand small choices
Made over the course of years
Add up to your life
