Believe In Better

Believe in faster cars

Believe in cars that fly

Believe in cars that drive themselves

Believe in cars that run renewable fuels

Believe in a world free of pollution

Believe in a world with healthy freshwater

Believe in all things being recyclable

Believe in a truly green world and economy

Believe in the power of one

Believe in what you can do

Believe in your contribution

Believe you can begin better

Believe in the power of one world

Believe in everyone working together

Believe in the end of war

Believe peace will begin and never end

Start by doing your part

Start one day at a time

Start by writing it down

Start by being the difference

Start by being there for a stranger

Start by volunteering for those in need

Start by getting others to hear your story

Start by believing you can

Start by pushing beyond your limits

Start by looking beyond race, color, creed and religion

Start by seeing this world belongs to all of us

Start by finding ways to work together one day at a time

Start by seeing how working as one can change things

Start by finding others who feel as you do

Start with a small group who you trust

Start now, start yesterday, start five years ago!!

Summer Times

I packed up my gear with fun in the wild on my mind

The tent, sleeping bag, sleeping matt, Coleman stove

Marshmallows, cooler, hot dogs and camera were all packed

The only left things left were my hiking boots and a sense of adventure

 Soaking up the sun with ocean air in my lungs

Seagulls soaring overhead with dozens

Of sand crabs scurrying this way and that

I smiled without a care in the world

I was so anxious to go that night

The thought of popcorn and soda dancing in my mind

To enjoy my favorite films in the open air

As we pulled in I smiled thinking of days past

A brief stop at the Wawa on the way

To pick up all manner of assorted snacks

And the ever important toll money

With gas in our tank we were ready for the journey

Riddle Number 11-The Riddle to Begin All Riddles

I have been here before you were born

I will be here long after you pass

I started out very simply constructed

I have evolved throughout the ages

I am not the who, the how or the what

Or the when, the where or they why

I am the name given these and more

I have a name for each and every thing

I record the history of man on clay tablets

Papyrus, cloth, paper and now I do digitally

I can be used to construct countries or 

Or everyday love letters

I can be simple or complex

Short or very long

I can be used as a build a weapon

Or used to bring loves ones closer

I Will

I will achieve

Many things great and small

I will open the doors of possibility

For those who have never known it

I will rip through obstacles

Like a child opening Christmas presents

I will leap over the walls of adversity

Like an Olympic hurdler going for the gold

I will bridge the gap

Between purpose and procrastination

I will see with eyes unclouded

Potential where others only see deadends

I will seized the power of now

By living each moment to the fullest

I will harness the power of efficiency

To achieve amazingly high-levels of multi-tasking 

I will build bridges of friendship

Where others seek to build walls of adversity

I will seek the wisdom of the ages

To guide me on paths few have traveled

I will live the life I've always dreamed

By taking steps toward them each day

I will achieve higher levels of fitness

Then I ever thought I could or would

I will continuously seek self improvement

Through reading, classes, degrees and travel

I will forever remain optimistic

In my mind's eye the glass is always half full

I will read this every morning

I will show it to everyone

It is my mission to 

Make this your mission

Building A Beast

I go to the gym

One hour and one day at a time

I curl two 80-lb dumbbells

I bench one barbell with two plates

On run days I double knot my Adidas

Crank up my ITunes library

Turn up the RPMs on the treadmill

And I enter a world free of all traces of stress

On leg days I remember why

Squats hurt more later

Calf muscles need attention too

And how you can never stretch enough

The gym is my home away from home

I go there with my fellow fitness gurus

Drinking my well mixed protein shake

Along with gallons and gallons of water

We sculpt our arms, legs and bodies

Like Michaelangelo chiseling out David

With our pain, sweat and tears

We find inner as well as outer strength

We build our mental confidence

In unison with our physical muscles 

After the treadmill we shed away pounds

As well as the stress of a day's work

Broaden Your Inner View

Let your mind be open to the possibilities

Of the promise a broader view holds

Open the doors of your mind

And let all of the positive energy in

Only close these all important doors to the

Negativity of news, others and everyday life

See the glass as half full, never half empty

Life is short, you might as well be happy

By filtering out the bad and keeping the good

A newer, better healthier outlook will arise

In time others will become more positive around you

Gradually people will want to be around you and wonder why

To start this better outlook on life one must

See the glass as half full, not half empty

See mistakes as lessons, not burdens

And above all else laugh, laugh and laugh some more

And So I Pray

I pray for all of those who can't

I pray for all of those who won't

I pray for the believers who love us all

I pray for the disbelievers so they don't fall

I pray for those who are yet to be born

I pray for the living young or old

I pray for the brave and the bold

I pray for the depressed and forlorn

I pray for the many world leaders

I pray ever more for the bottom feeders

I pray for the world to become a better place

I pray for man to travel further into outer space

I pray for my daily efforts to succeed

I pray that the innocent will not bleed

I pray for relatives we'll never forget from our past

I pray for American freedom to last and last

I pray for the poor near and far

I pray for the invention of the flying car

I pray for you to believe without seeing

I pray for you to pray and start believing

I pray for the end of war

I pray we reach each and every star

I pray that you, you and you

Pray for me, for I already prayed for you
