Depends . . .

. . . upon what you're measuring
                                                     
To laugh often and much; 
To win the respect of intelligent people and 
the affection of children; 
To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure 
the betrayal of false friends; 
To appreciate beauty; 
To find the best in others; 
To give of one's self; 
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, 
a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; 
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and 
sung with exultation; 
To know even one life has breathed easier because you 
have lived - 
This is to have succeeded.
 --- Ralph Waldo Emerson


Success

Meteors . . .

 

Meteors that come once a year;
Quite a show of fireworks 
When you’re there to see them.
Shooting stars fantastically glow.
All too soon no one can say
Where they are or gone to.

Back on earth we average reside.
Most of us will never know such adoration.
So I go my ordinary way.
Do my job and feed my kids;
This world and wonder.

Dust and gas -
That’s what they’re made of.
Why all the fascination?

Fabulous! They’ll take your breath away.
They will dazzle with their style 
And their savoir faire.
Improvise; they make their own moves.
All the cattle follow close 
Behind from the pasture.

Why couldn’t I be
One among those many millions?
Why can’t someone see
My astrological worth?
What causes the sea
Of heavenly bodies to glow like they do?
Shining so brightly for me and for you.
Sooner or later they burn themselves out
But oh so beautifully.

Meteors have nothing to fear.
From their distant firmament
They shine for the masses.
Safe above, removed from earthly life,
From uncertainty that lines the 
Cloth of our mortal existence.

Confetti . . .

 

The proactive approach is much preferred
When things that ail become absurd.
No beating round the bush for me.
It's eye to eye with what I see.
Action is quite therapeutic.
No therapy is better than music.
Play it, sing it.
Rub it into your belly. 
Fill the air with it like it's confetti.

Regrets . . .

 

When I start into thinking 
About the things that might have been,
I find that my imagination has no end. 
And though they’re not without their own attraction,
I can see, each time you look at me, 
I am exactly where I want to be.
And maybe I’ll never have that house in the country.
You won’t see me visiting those ritzy discotheques.
But I have no regrets. 
No I have no regrets.
See I have no regrets. 
No regrets . . . 
It’s a human kind of feeling.
It’s one that everybody knows
At least one time, if not another, as they grow, I do suppose. 
And though these things cross everybody’s mind 
I’ve got the key grasping reality. 
It’s the dessert I’m glad I didn’t eat.
Everybody is searching for something
That they’re afraid they might have missed.
And no matter how hard that you’re wishing
To have a second chance.
Don’t regret that you missed the dance,
Because the past is the past and you’re not gonna change it.
If it looks like I am distant,
Like I don’t hear a single word,
All the times that I’m not listening, but you think I really heard,
It doesn’t warrant any serious 
Concern, you see. It’s still the same old me,
And like a glove you fit me to a T.
