Enjoy the power of the bright sunlight you feel
......well maybe not.......
You will not understand the power of the bright sunlight you feel......when it hurts you...
But listen to me......things are changing fast,
yet regardless of now....
in seasoned thoughts when you think back on lessons truly learned
all in a way you don't use now
so much fertility stayed within you
and how fictitious you really thought.
Yet you were not as old as you imagined!

Keep speaking thoughts that suit you,
don't worry, and know that worrying is about as usable as
trying to alter the driving impatience of a developing artist.  
The real truthful words in life are apt to be missed,
words never used through lack of time,
the words you wanted to say when you heart became full
but when your voice was alone with you in your car.

Speak one truth everyday that completes you.
Peace!
Don't be ruthless with other peoples true words
Don't shut out those people that are truthful with you.
Listen!
Don't use your mind to alienate
sometimes you're cool, sometimes you're disliked.
The road is long and in the race it's only humans you meet.

Remember relatives you've hated, forget their insults
and if you can possibly do this you're a saint!
Greet your old lost lovers,
and bury your old dark feelings.
Love!
Don't be preaching if you don't want others
to hate what you did to their life.
The most penetrating preachers I know
didn't stop at millions when they wanted to seek lonely hearts,
some of them still decieving older people I know.

Get lots of Vitiman C!
Be kind to your children you'll miss them when they're gone.
You might love forever...or maybe just a week....
You might fail in love.....but not if you don't try.
Maybe you'll caress a century!
Maybe you'll play tennis with your 80 year old kids!
Whatever you do don't discipline your youngsters too much!
But don't leave them void of it either.
Your voice is the first choice......when others want to hear it!

Enjoy your music!
Play it every day you can.
Don't be losing your inward art when people don't mention it,
it's the greatest escape you'll ever need.
Sing!
Even if you have a tin ear for it,
do it loudly in the shower
make up the words when you don't remember them.

Do not believe all health food stories
they may only take your money.

Get to know your worst faults
you never know when they'll turn in on you.
Be nice to your neighbours
they're your best link to unity
and the people most likely to work with you in troubled times.

Understand that your kids come and go
bringing precious grandchildren you always need.
Work hard to keep the love of family as a lifestyle.
The older you get the more mellow the minutes seem to be
when you no longer have to prove you're you.....

Go on a roller coaster once,
and laugh before it makes you cry.
See your favourite performer live
and live before you realize your dreams are over the hill....so
Travel!

Don't fool too much with your computer
because the answers cost planet time when you crash..

Be careful how much liquor you drink
and don't be the only one to supply it.
Liquor is a tool of euphoria
drinking it is a way of floating the past into the future
fixing old mistakes
hiding from the ugly fact
that it's over for more than it's worth.

Take your time and handle stress...
When you feel the need for psychiatric therapy
remember you'd just be meeting another person
who would be finding out what you already know
and selling you back to yourself!

Listen to me before it's too late!
I'm the ozone layer!

my favorite verse...E, maybe I should take 2 aspirin and call you every morning...
