				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Pain so deep<br />
Communication a stall<br />
No effort or action<br />
Not even a call</p>
<p>Was told so much<br />
Many claims before<br />
Future so promising<br />
Unknown just want&#8217;s in store</p>
<p>Clueless sets in<br />
This pause unreal<br />
Step up and do something<br />
Not fair &#8211; what&#8217;s the deal?</p>
<p>The keys you hold<br />
Unlock the heart<br />
I gave you everything<br />
Right from the start</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The humble football superstar<br />
Works hard so much<br />
He learns his plays<br />
No excuse his crutch</p>
<p>Strong effort so common<br />
He tries his best<br />
Nothing to stop him ever<br />
Never depressed!</p>
<p>Yet big games arrive<br />
And he rides the pine<br />
Benched for no reason<br />
Against all’s opine</p>
<p>Soon, he will leave<br />
Pick a grateful team<br />
One who appreciates<br />
And helps reach his dream</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>There&#8217;s this place I love to go<br />
And share a great time and show<br />
It&#8217;s an experience unlike so many<br />
And recommend to friend and foe</p>
<p>But unlucky it seems for me<br />
Incomplete on each trip<br />
But, I recommend it greatly<br />
One I&#8217;d hate to skip</p>
<p>Yet, is it really worth it?<br />
The time and great price I pay?<br />
I&#8217;m questioning a bit<br />
That&#8217;s all I currently can say</p>
<p>But, this place is so cool<br />
A dream waiting to come real<br />
So I cross my fingers<br />
Yet patience thin I feel</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Quiet as a mouse<br />
The house is dark<br />
Striking every match<br />
Praying for a spark</p>
<p>Dust in many corners<br />
Repairs yet to do<br />
Willing to give great effort<br />
Awaiting instruction cue</p>
<p>Confidence in this house<br />
Knowing she’s rare jewel<br />
No matter repairs needed<br />
Will use my every tool</p>
<p>No worries of project size<br />
Or challenges ahead<br />
Worthy is this house<br />
House is far from dead</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Dinner is now ready<br />
And the food is hot<br />
Better get to the table<br />
Before you lose eating shot</p>
<p>The meal so delicious<br />
Obvious at first bite<br />
Savor the taste right now<br />
Accept eating invite</p>
<p>Hurry before you lose<br />
Option to pick favorite food<br />
Time to eat is now<br />
Don&#8217;t allow to be exclude</p>
<p>If you delay or wait forever<br />
Dinner will cold grow<br />
Fewer choices then ensue<br />
Not tasty, just so-so</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Lost so much<br />
On my own accord<br />
Need to keep focus<br />
More losses can ill-afford</p>
<p>Batting day<br />
And battling night<br />
Not everything though<br />
Is worth the fight</p>
<p>Struggling some<br />
And bleeding much<br />
Knowing worthy wars<br />
And all the such</p>
<p>Will tackle them one<br />
And tackle them all<br />
Will climb each mountain<br />
No matter risk fall</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>So much data<br />
On Wall Street today<br />
Much of it conflicting<br />
Data accuracy – investors pray</p>
<p>Fluctuating each second<br />
With major time crunch<br />
The investors must decide<br />
Often just on a hunch</p>
<p>But, the hunch isn’t blind<br />
Normally smart and so strong<br />
These investors are no dummies<br />
But been known to be wrong</p>
<p>So, make your educated hunch<br />
And stick by your choice<br />
Give it your all<br />
Then celebrate and rejoice!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Time for the sunset<br />
and it feels so near<br />
Taking in this moment<br />
with a smile and tear</p>
<p>Never seen such a sunset<br />
so beautiful in the sky<br />
Absorbing this great moment<br />
and the warmth it imply</p>
<p>Yet, while the sun feels like<br />
just a short distance away<br />
Running to capture the sun<br />
sometimes results in dismay</p>
<p>Still, the sun is alive<br />
and truly within reach<br />
The warming quest continues<br />
from this beautiful beach</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>This mountain has many trails<br />
They lead in various direction<br />
Yet only one at a time<br />
Can be each own’s selection</p>
<p>Each pathway certainly has<br />
Its own cons and pros<br />
Yet nobody but yourself<br />
Can determine which one you goes</p>
<p>Pick the path you wish<br />
And truly pick it good<br />
Know each path’s op costs<br />
And by your choice firmly stood</p>
<p>For if you make the wrong gamble<br />
You’ll wonder why you lost<br />
Look back with slight regret<br />
You never understood the opportunity cost</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Days of darkness so recent<br />
Have filled this open sky<br />
This bright sun now appearing<br />
Hopeful it won’t say goodbye</p>
<p>Too many days without light<br />
Hence so tough to see<br />
When the great storm passes<br />
Hope not blind to the beauty</p>
<p>Past storms chilled so much<br />
Could have ruined even more<br />
But the new brightness so powerful<br />
A new day and open door</p>
<p>A new battle emerges<br />
But the complete darkness now gone<br />
A brand new day and era<br />
The beginning of the dawn</p>
