Focus on the Children

Focus on the Children

can there be a better intent in these times that present
than to focus on the children?
those who we love, who we’ve dreamed for and of
let us design now their future

what does it take to recognize the mistake
of misguided creativity?
return now to the power within, time to begin
with a prayer for guidance

cherish our past, where we did not doubt peace would last
and play it forward
visit the future, forming details from the blur
and bring it home

we are the dream sayers, we are the future layers
being conscious of that
what we desire must burn as a fire
for our children beyond

never before has the future in store
been so uncertain
knowing we have the power, let us rise as a tower
of strength and explore

the new frontier requires leaders to steer
thru the path of renewal
and all must commit for it’s not time to sit
on the comforts we’ve known

the children are our seed, to cherish and feed
and to honour their future
life must return to a balance, acting now not to take a chance
with the influence of misguidance

tune into the heart song, we share it, we belong
to a race capable of mindfulness
let our hearts beat together so we reconfigure the weather
calming climate and rage

let us set the stage

let us turn the page

for our children, the future

Creatively United for the Nations

Creatively United for the Nations

an absence of fear as we kick into gear
with a fire that burns in our hearts
aligned with each other, all part of one another
we are stepping up to play our parts

what can we give from the passion we live
to share with these nations of ours?
creatively united, becoming fully insighted
we all have gifts we can share

our writing expressed, highlighting the best
of what we want and see as our future
our songs that are sung, new rhythms begun
can send out these delights by computer

photography plus, a message of trust
that all want the same for the children
paintings of signs, unique new designs
displayed on our lawns and in windows

let us wear green, become the machine
that unites us all with a purpose
young painting their nails, green pony tails?
so many ways to show our support

how green can we get when we’re really set
to play the game a new way
be gone with attack ads, replace with creative adds
that unite our gifts to display

the Green party represents all it presents
in it’s messaging of walking their talk
community leaders, respected peacekeepers
all passionate about bringing about change

let us have fun with what candidates have begun
and share their commitment to serve
the grassroots are the we, wanting to be free
to transform these nations of ours

creatively united, we’re all excited
to have an opportunity to now perform
from the north to south, from the west to east
a new way to take these nations by storm

ride the green wave, surfer’s skills displayed
the wave growing more powerful as it builds
ride from the crest where the view is the best
and watch as it sweeps our nations

come out to play the game of the day
have fun, get it done and into this will be spun
the serious debates, where leadership equates
into working as a collaborative identity

Green Party candidates can’t wait, now they’re out of the gate
to run this race with integrity
distorters and cheaters may be among the “competers”
the Green Party’s focus will be on their own quest

creatively united, expertise then invited
to support each candidate that enlists
to represent us, our candidates’ thrust
will be enhanced by local expertise that is welcomed

we’re in this together and it matters on whether
we turn up to participate in the game
it’s a whole lot more fun when the game can be won
by a huge team that is creatively united

we’re all invited!

let the game begin
all are welcomed in

let’s play!

The Toy Store

The Toy Store

the toy store is a good place
full of ideas and creative embrace
inviting us in to see the displays
toys to develop our imaginative ways

to the child within
we invite out to play
together we’ll create
a new game today

enjoying, expanding
we’ll invite others in
the game of the day
is called “we begin”
