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]
