Dear Steven...
I’m wishing you another year of laughter, joy and fun, Surprises, love and happiness, And when your birthday’s done....

Be Positive To Be Creative

Negative attitude I strongly condemn
As it brings hope to the bottom
Moults confidence like an autumn
And makes heart a melancholy-drum
Our potential becomes infinite
If we strongly hope every minute
Will-power is mind’s main kit
Which makes success definite
Free the mind of cowardice-mask
With great care study the task
Will efforts suffice? Every day ask
With complacency never bask
When the task to achieve is mammoth
The road to reach it can never be smooth
Stones will laugh with sharp teeth
Determination alone can close each mouth
With rules of hard-work have strict compliance
Use brain which is the very best appliance
Ever develop with confidence an alliance
In goals never at all make any variance
Compete, compete, and compete
Ever with a true winning spirit
Allow not courage to split
The task, we will surely complete
Happiness gives a shining skin
Hard-work powers the bone within
Hope supplies courage-vitamin
Thought and soul prayers pin
If thoughts run helter-skelter
Pray to God to provide shelter
Offer tears on the holy altar
Mind will alter as prayers filter
Chewing the past is a postmortem
Which will spoil your AM and PM
Instead pray through a hymn
And find in hard-work asylum
Let him be Newton, Milton, Dalton or Washington
For all of us God is the one and only captain
His blessings come through prayer-fountain
And give us strength to move a mountain.

Hi Steven,
Welcome to TBD and thanks for the friendship!

I played on stage with a blues band. Was given the music and worked with the lead guitarist on the song. Learned it by heart. Got on stage and the lead guitarist had given me the wrong sequence, completely wrong so I faked playing until I could memorize the chords by staring at the lead singers hands. The lead guitarist apologized saying he just plays and doesn't really follow the music. He was also my guitar instructor and a fabulous person and musician. He was Kid Bangham of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. I learned a lot that nite. Whew!
