Don't judge me

Don't judge me because of where I'm from

It's where I'm going that matters 

Don't judge me because of my religion 

It's having faith in myself that's imperative 

Don't judge me about my political stand point 

It's standing with my head held high, self respect, and self confidence that's important

Don't judge me about who I love 

It only matters that I am able to love and worthy of being loved

Don't judge who I am

I'm human just like you

Super Hero

I know a super hero

Who does not wear a cape

But he often fixes toys

With his super powerful tape

He does not leap over buildings

Or spin a fancy web

But can chase away all monsters from underneath my bed

He doesn't double in size 

Or turn the colour green

But when he builds a fort with me

It's the best I've ever seen

He doesn't wear a suit that fires guns

Or laser beams 

But when I wake at night crying 

He always fixes my bad dreams

He can not turn invisible 

Or out run a speeding train

But when I fall off my bike

He can take away the pain

My super hero is special 

The best I've ever had 

You may know him by a code name 

But his hero name is Dad 

Your gift

Your gift

You gave us all a gift today

Though it cost your life to give

There is no greater price for you to pay

For the one we love to live

You didn't even know her name

Or the precious role she plays 

It was your time

The angels came 

And you made sure she stays

She can now watch her grand kids 

As they learn and laugh and grow

And she can plant her spring time flowers 

And welcome the winter snow 

She can see the babies first Christmas 

And the oldest graduate from school

She can see the middle ones handy work

And have a game of pool

And all of this is possible because you chose to give

The last gift you ever gave

Was for someone else to live

Thank you

Ode to Chocolate Cake

Ode to chocolate cake

Oh why oh why 

must you taste so good

I try to avoid you

I know that I should

But you have to sit there

Looking so delicious 

Some try to stop me

And then I get viscous 

Your light and fluffy

Sweet and creamy

I wouldn't mind 

But it's what you do to me

A few moments 

is all you take to devour 

But you make me fat

Unless I run for an hour 

Don't get me wrong

Your worth all the work

But you make me come back 

for seconds 

You jerk

There's no way I can make a two hour run

So now your gonna hang out on my bum 

Bigger and bigger 

you'll watch as I get

Unless I find will power

It's not over yet
