Praise me, so you look like a good mother. !--more-- At home, I'm someone else, I'm the worthless child. At home, you're someone else, far from mild. Lie & hold back truth, so you look righteous. When others mess up, act falsely pious. Holler & scream anyway, it's no worse than the mind games you play . . . The mind games you play. Make up your mind, tell the facts. Do you love us or was it all an act? Why didn't you protect us? Didn't you care? It was inconvenient, too much to bear. You protected yourself, when the time was right. Never thought of the little kids, shut out from the light. Holler & scream anyway, it's no worse than the mind games you play . . . The mind games you play. poetry © Gloria Lassich a href="https://status.cafe/users/itsgloria"img src="https://status.cafe/users/itsgloria/badge.png" alt="Status Cafe Profile"//a brbriframe src='https://itsgloria.atabook.org/' height="200" style="width: 100%;border:none;" frameBorder="0"/iframe]]> Tell others you love me & I'm a good daughter.

In The Ocean, The Creatures Swim Free. In The Ocean, Come Watch Them With Me. Through The Water They Fly, As If In The Sky. They Fly Way Out Into Sea. poetry © Gloria Lassich a href="https://status.cafe/users/itsgloria"img src="https://status.cafe/users/itsgloria/badge.png" alt="Status Cafe Profile"//a brbriframe src='https://itsgloria.atabook.org/' height="200" style="width: 100%;border:none;" frameBorder="0"/iframe]]> In The Ocean, Where Dolphins Swim & Glide, In The Ocean, Small Treasures Come In With The Tide.

His pants were too stiff to dance. So, he took a liquid filled cup, And splashed around like a pup. He splashed his pants, Did a little dance, And soon he was jiggin' it up! So he danced on into the night, Despite his splashy sight. He had so much fun, His partner he spun, And gave her a terrible fright! poetry © Gloria Lassich a href="https://status.cafe/users/itsgloria"img src="https://status.cafe/users/itsgloria/badge.png" alt="Status Cafe Profile"//a brbriframe src='https://itsgloria.atabook.org/' height="200" style="width: 100%;border:none;" frameBorder="0"/iframe]]> There was a young man from France, Who over-starched his pants.

So he danced on into the night, Despite his splashy sight. He had so much fun, His partner he spun, And gave her a terrible fright!

As it dies and petals fall, !--more-- In our minds, its beauty we recall. Spring arrives and refreshing showers flow, As it wakens, its petals open, absorbing the Sun's glow. Once more it rises, seeking Sun and Rain, The lone beauty lives again, On the desert plain. Change of time, Change of Season, The petals once more close, Until it comes to life again, The lovely Desert Rose. poetry © Gloria Lassich a href="https://status.cafe/users/itsgloria"img src="https://status.cafe/users/itsgloria/badge.png" alt="Status Cafe Profile"//a brbriframe src='https://itsgloria.atabook.org/' height="200" style="width: 100%;border:none;" frameBorder="0"/iframe]]> It blooms in the Summer, Fades in the Fall.

Some are cloudy, Some are clear. !--more-- Some have beautiful sunsets, Several times a year. Some have beautiful stars, Dotting the entire sky. Some have colorful rainbows. And it makes you wonder why. Why people deny the existence of God, And go on about their way. Or, at least they deny him by their works, Each and every day. So why are there such beautiful things, For you and I to share? A God of love put them here, Simply because he cares. poetry © Gloria Lassich a href="https://status.cafe/users/itsgloria"img src="https://status.cafe/users/itsgloria/badge.png" alt="Status Cafe Profile"//a brbriframe src='https://itsgloria.atabook.org/' height="200" style="width: 100%;border:none;" frameBorder="0"/iframe]]> Skies are blue, Skies are gray, Skies are different, Every day.
