Understanding you seek
It’s somewhere deep inside
In moments when you’ve cried
Feeling so lost
Because you’re all alone
And you prayed to find
Some peace within your mind
To calm your heart
And to remove the doubt
Yet, if you can believe
You’ll find hope as you breathe
Deep, deeper still
And you choose to allow
For in that choice you make
You’ll feel resistance break
As you center

Oh, wicked, wicked food
Why do you tempt me so
I’ve weight needing to go
You’re everywhere
I plan for healthy meals
Then a friend says let’s eat
Hey, I deserve a treat
And I cave in
I might as well be friends
With the choices I make
Just one more bite to take
And buy new clothes

We all have the chance to
Make a life worth living
Of loving and giving
With every breath
Participation calls
Each time you roll the dice
From the cake, cut a slice
You’re in the game

The young yearn to grow up
Elderly long for youth
Our choices hold the truth
To happiness
But when we make the choice
To enjoy where we are
Holds more power by far
For happiness

They’re shaking in their boots
Those wide-eyed little cats
Cause Shery bought some hats
For them to wear
Now, she sees it proper
That they dress up you see
For cookies served with tea
Tablecloth pressed
You never know what’s next
With happy little girls
If they like gloves and pearls
Quick, run and hide
