I wish from my problems I could be free,
And with contentment sail eternity.
I wish from all my troubles I could say goodbye,
And out of my window see them fly.

I wish my every day would be filled with hope,
And whatever happens know that I shall cope.
I wish during each day I'd be respected,
And not be forgotten, nor be neglected.

I wish that no more would I be bored,
And not again b...

Contentment can be hard to catch.
So box it in and close the latch.
Let your contentment not escape,
Whatever be it's form or shape.

Our contentment is so very special,
For with our problems it will wrestle.
And since it helps our spirits rise,
Let it not dwindle nor demise.

Keep it safe from all destruction.
Let no troubles make an interruption.
So whatever be your situation,
For c...

Without my specs I can't see straight.
Then my mind becomes in such a state.
Without them I see nothing clear.
I feel discomfort and also fear.

Without my specs all things are blurred.
I see neither distances nor written word.
Without them I lose quality of life.
I feel so awkward and full of strife.

But with my specs sharp becomes my vision.
I can then enjoy books or my television.

I loved to watch Quantum Leap.
It could be funny and it could be deep.
It was about a man who would time travel.
And each time a new story would unravel.

He would put right what had once been wrong,
And though very clever he could be strong.
Each episode had a morale given.
To do good deeds he was driven.
 
Each time he'd wish to get back home,
But he was not entirely on his own.
He w...

I'd love to hold happiness 
And then I'd wish for it to stay,
But just like water in my hands,
It always dwindles away.

I'd love to pick happiness 
Like many a beautiful flower.
Then I would put them in a vase,
If I could only have the power.

I'd love to bottle happiness 
And maybe save it for later.
Though my hopes are so big and many
That they could easily fill a crater.

I'd lo...

What should we do when we get bored?
When we have nothing to do and no interests stored?
Nothing at all to occupy our time
Whether we are young or old or in our prime.

We may feel troubled and very frustrated,
Some pastime would now be appreciated.
Though sometimes there is nothing that we can find
To put our boredom completely behind.

So being bored is never pleasant,
Maybe it will h...

Is there something we must hear or see
Which will then satisfy our curiosity?
Is it a thing from which we may not escape?
And dose it cling to our backs just like a cape?

Do we ask yourself, "What is it I crave?"
And does resisting it then make us brave?
In our minds does it always reside?
And is it only gone when satisfied?

But by curiosity are we still followed?
Can it be destroyed ...

Be sure that you do not forget
All the guilt, shame and regret.
Then from your faults you must now learn,
And into a better person you will turn.

Now you'll see how you should have behaved
Realise your soul can still be saved.
Then into a good person you will become.
Know all your mistakes can be undone.

So behind you put your past.
Do it right now and do it fast.
Now you'll know wha...

Should we strive to be wiser,
And strive to be greater?
Should we try to be early,
And not arrive later?

Should we strive to be nicer,
And to be more polite?
Should we strive to be honest,
And to always be right?

Should we strive to be happy,
And always be contented?
Should we strive to be liked,
Rather than be resented?

Should we strive to be known,
And also be respected?
Shou...

If you should live a troubled life,
In an unhappy existence,
You shall find you can get by,
With patience and persistence.

If you don't know where you're going,
And you feel completely lost,
Know new directions may be found,
And new bridges can be crossed.

So in yourself you must believe,
With great courage and with hope,
And you shall surely then survive,
And against all struggles ...

None of us are always good,
Yet none of us are always bad.
And while no-one is always happy,
None of us are always sad.

None of us are always right,
Yet none of us are always wrong.
And while no-one is always weak,
None of us are always strong.

None of us always thinks clearly,
Yet no-one's always confused.
And while no-one's always dissatisfied,
No-one's always amused.

None of u...

Is your life story a happy one?
Is it blissful and uplifting?
Or do you find yourself with no direction?
And always seem to be drifting?

Does your life story have some purpose?
Or are you just going through the motions?
Do you understand your heart and mind?
Or are you confused by your emotions?

Is your life story one of great success?
Or have you lost your zest and zeal?
Do you live...

As we come across a waterfall,
Which may be large or rather small,
We see the water trickle slowly down,
As it makes a soft and gentle sound.

We find them in the countryside,
Where wildlife may also reside.
They take our angst and our frustration
And bring us contentment and relaxation.
 
So surely it should be our duty
To appreciate this special, natural beauty.
As they give us calm ...

It must be nice to be intelligent -
And have many a clever thought.
And also to have endless skills,
And remember all you have been taught.

It must be nice to solve all problems -
Whether simple or complex.
And to have a brain full of knowledge,
Which you've learnt from your subjects.

It is must be nice to be envied
For having lots of special talents,
And for completing different cha...

If there's one thing that is sure to give me a lift,
It is to buy someone special a wonderful gift.
It's a process which always starts off with a thought -
Searching through ideas till my eye has been caught.

The next step, which I relish, is in the buying.
It may feel so nice that I believe I am flying.
Once I have got it and have then brought it home
I enjoy wrapping it up all on my own...

I often think about the past.
Had it been too slow or too fast?
Then I ponder on what might have been.
What I might have done and might have seen.

I think about all the times I've wasted,
And how I took for granted the things I tasted.
Where am I going? What am I doing?
What became of the life I had once been viewing?

Now all I see is a fog so dense
That in this life I can find no sen...

If your mind becomes imprisoned,
And the whole world now seems strange,
And the things you once enjoyed
Now no longer make a change.

If your life now has no reason,
And you just exist from day to day,
Just drifting between each moment,
And it doesn't help what others say.

No matter where you may be -
Whether in the country or the city,
All your interests may have dissolved,
And you ...

If you'll work upon your self-esteem,
You will follow each and every dream.
And if in yourself you will believe
All of your goals you'll then achieve.

And so with life do not play games,
Just be sure to meet your aims.
And to other people do be kind,
And bear their happiness in mind.

So do not go back on resolutions.
Work on problems till you have solutions.
Try not to be weak or be ...
