CHOOSE  YOUR  COLOR

Isn’t it great 
when  you can choose your color? 

Red, green, blue 
better your red, green or your blue. 

Sometimes we can’t. 
It’s the color of the team. 

Or we like the school 
and this is the school’s color. 

Or you’re the bridesmaid 
and this is her color of choice. 

Or you’re dead - and your 
daughter always got what she wanted.

CONCIERGE


She didn’t want a husband or a friend, 
but she didn’t know this back - then - 
when - they got married.
It took a long time,  but what
she really  wanted was a concierge -
a go-fer - come to think about it -
that’s what her dad was to her mom -
come to think about it, her grandpa
actually  was: a concierge   and
they weren’t even French.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Two things we all need to do:
read and write our autobiography.

We’re playing our inner recording
of the story of our life - most of the time.

At some time we ought to write it down.
Computers are wonderful for just this.

Then cut and paste - gather and date -
the stories of our life - chapter by chapter.

Stories beget stories, memories beget
memories, people come back to life.

If one has siblings, it’s great to share
memories an our autobiography grows.

Tell me the story of your life.
tell me the title of your life.

PSALM 194

Praise the Lord,
clap your hands - clap, clap, clap. [CLAP 3 X]

For our eyes that we may see
into the eyes of those around us.

Praise the Lord,
clap your hands - clap, clap, clap. [CLAP 3 X]

For our mouths that we may praise
the wonderful people who surround us.

Praise the Lord,
clap your hands - clap, clap, clap. [CLAP 3 X]

For our feet that  we may always
greet with peace those around us.

Praise the Lord,
clap your hands - clap, clap, clap. [CLAP 3 X]

For our hands that we may give
our gifts to those who need us.

Praise the Lord,
clap your hands - clap, clap, clap. [CLAP 3 X]
