Hope

I plan to make the most of my time here
Not too much
Not too little
I have my vision of just a bit in front of me
I have far-off dreams
And I know what I'm gonna do tomorrow
A also know what I'm not gonna do
What won't or shouldn't happen
Because I'm strong
And I have faith
I can see my tiny little rock
My high-flying adventure through space
I know my flag doesn't mean much
But there it is
There it will be
My own

My family is going to be a part of it
I have hope
My friends are already there and hopefully stay a while
I have strength
My future can be great if only I could focus and work hard enough
I know it's good
Where I'll fall or change course I don't know, but that's ok with me
I have hope

Boating

The crisp, fresh air Stinging the cheek muscles and Tugging on hair follicles Burning wide-open eyes until they well-up with water, soon to be streaming down to the chin The cool breeze is so quiet you can hear yourself think The waves rock your body up and down, back and forth The open freedom humms and buzzes under the too-warm sunshine Up front the bow jumps wildly in the air Like an animal in the wild Smooth and fast Free and powerful An unsteady walk to the stern A time-out from the action A side-view of the sprawling forests Clean and well-kept beaches And a massive divide, cut deep into the earth's temporary shape Fanning out and slowly falling back in line A long day of adventure and excitement A good laugh to strengthen family bonds A picnic in the wilderness And another good memory Of success
