I’m not a braggart

Critical of all I do

Know what I’m good at

1,577

Taught them to play hearts

Already better than me

My kids are so smart

1,576

First grow together

Then mourn as you grow apart

Seek new foundation

1,575

Sleeping on the floor

Is better because there the

Sleep actually comes

1,574

A day full of fun

With no work or tight deadlines

Crowding out my thoughts

1,573

Do it your own way

But make it come out just the

Way I would have done

1,572

Will one voice stop you?

Perhaps when for each who speaks

More agree in thought

1,571

He does what he wants

But lives inside a bubble

One day it will pop

1,570

Making the choice is

Only the first step. Now you

Must make it happen

1,569

It is a gamble

But it’s one I have to take

No other options

1,568

They all want their share

But if you meet their demand

Nothing left for you

1,567

Answer the question

But only if you are sure

Don’t shoot from the hip

1,566

It’s motivating

To see another year turn

There’s no going back

1,565

Dropping a habit

Is the perfect way to know

If you can lead change

1,564

A long list of things

Can sometimes pose a challenge

At least there’s a list

1,563

Seeing the doctor

Makes me feel like a small boy

Who did something wrong

1,562

Keep fighting the cold

It will try to stop you but

Only slows you down

1,561

Someday I’ll be dead

And he’ll only remember

When he acts like me

1,560

Tell them what you want

How can they deliver if

They don’t know your mind?

1,559

I’m getting better

Say it even if not true

What choice do I have?

1,558

Already leading

A secret life we can’t see

He’s learning to hide

1,557

You need a target

Even if you cannot see

Focuses the mind

1,556

Unpredictable

The defining attribute

Of all our futures

1,555

Living in a fog

Everything dimly perceived

Poorly understood

1,554

We need to perform

Whether or not we feel it

Passion can be faked

1,553

Building a snow fort
Takes time and sweat equity
And it won’t endure

1,552

Want something to do

Something that’s mine and not yours

Something to enjoy

1,551

Haiku is a form

And a way of clear thinking

One lyric ideal

1,550

The snow is falling

White flakes that float and drift

Bringing us silence

1,549

Used to read big books

Used to write my own novels

Now I watch TV

1,548

Of course things are hard

Did you expect to get paid

For the easy stuff?
