It sometimes may seem
Even thought
You’ve done all you could
Someone may say
It’s not enough.
The truth is
Whenever you do your best
It’s always enough
No matter how
Another may parcel it.
Because when you
Give it all you got
Your perfect.
Because perfection in you
Is doing all you can.

Dedicated to the memory of Lois Taylor

I can see the stars

As I jet to fulfill my destiny.

Seemingly never ending

As I approach

While viewing the scenery.

Never in doubt

Unless I’m fooled.

Fooled by other adventures

That are seemingly greater than mine.

But

I’ve been told

And now I’ve learned.

To keep my mines eye

Positively viewing forward.

Only until now

I thought the stars

Was for me to view.

But, instead I’ve learned

It is me

 I should see.

And what I advance toward

Is truly my own reflection.

So, going forward

I won’t have to look far.

Because it is me

And you

Who is the STAR.

We are all precious, as we look up and dream,

Deryo

Trying very hard to relieve the pressure.

At first look

I thought all I needed to do

Is gesture.

That would have been

Simple, yes?

But as always

What you need

And

Where you need to be

Isn’t always simple.

So, on this attempt

To elevate the pressure.

I will do as I’ve learnt

And never let the pressure turn.

Turn to stress

And not be able to see

What is in front of me.

Because this time

I will truly be divine.

And say

What pressure?

Stay in control,

Deryo

Moving fast as I go

And trying with all that I have.

Never to step on

Another’s dream.

Even though it may seem

That with speed

You do achieve.

But it’s with

Truth and love

As you quickly

Chance to dance

Is what makes

A positive plan.

You see

Even though you feel

You’re only doing for you.

But in that

Positive plan

It’s built

For all of us

To stand.

So, watch me

Since I now know.

I’m going to

Move

Very

Fast.

Faster than the speed of Right,

Deryo

The sun rises
We look for light to come
The moon also rises
Sleep we all get some

I come to you
With a heavy heart
I ask for you to bless us all
Oh Lord

She goes with you
And she stays within my heart
Believe me
We will never part
So I come to you
With a heavy heart
I ask for you to bless us all
Oh Lord

For Sweet and Lo,

Deryo

You listen to learn

About all the things

You want to know about.

You listen sometimes

To the beauty

Of life that surrounds us.

You listen to believe

In the good things

We may not understand.

To listen

Is to be free

Of all the things

You may doubt.

Such questions as

Why?

Where?

And how come?

You can find the answers

If you just

Listen

Do you hear me?

Deryo

I’d like to share

And it’s about feelings

That run deep.

Deep as the history

Of this country.

It’s full of hope and despair

And it’s wrapped in a conundrum

That has only the value

That each one of us

Puts on and in it.

This floating expression

That covers its genre.

Is one that is disguised

By the rumor

That misleads the truth.

It’s unfaithful and a lie.

But one day

Or

The day

Reality and truth

Shows its face.

We will find

A society

That survives and strives

To greatness.

I wanted to share this with you

Because I have hope.

And I hope

You will continue to

Share in this hope also.

This is what I had

To Share

With you.

Really, keep it alive,

Deryo

The skill is in the will

Because you never give up.

Always honoring

The ability of your achievements.

Becoming wiser as you go

Each day developing

Your flow.

With peace, love and understanding

Being your guide.

So, will you continue?

To hone your will.

As you’re challenged

Each day

By many deals?

Will you

Believe in the Will?

That is true

And

In you

Always have the will to be Free,

Deryo

I can remember the first time I saw and felt

The beauty of a female.

I was about ten years’ old.

At that time, I looked in her eyes

And for the first time I felt a feeling I had never felt before.

It felt like the bright and sweet smell of Spring-time

And colorful butterflies flying around my head

Making my heart flutter.

I will always remember the first time I could smell the sweet and tantalizing aroma

Emanating from her glistering soft skin.

And through all of this, I began to see the difference between she and I.

As time went on and I learned more about girls, ladies and women

I learn not to only respect the beauty

But also the specialness in their existence.

And now, I can truly see

The beauty in them all.

Here’s to the beauty,

Deryo

Remember first, how much you love someone

Then maybe you won’t hurt their feelings.

Remember the next time you commit yourself to something

Even though it may not mean much to you

It may mean everything

To someone else.

At all times remember who you are

That way I’m sure you will do your best

Can you remember as a young person

The first time you looked in your mother or father’s eyes

And saw the wonderment of love for the first time?

Well I guess all I can say is:

Try to remember the good things

Because they will always help you deal with the bad ones.

Just had a thought,

Deryo
