    Actually, though, I'm simply an idiot. That makes it really easy for me to make the same mistakes over and over and over and over and over and over again.

    We'll just have to agree to disagree then. I do have inside information though...

    Publishing my poems? That's another area where I am deficient in. I just can't seem to promote my work. I can plan it, write it, edit, and polish it, but I just can't seem to promote it. OH well. I can't have both talent and common sense both right? Afterall, I dedicated my life to a bunch of anal-retentive morons in New York - how smart could I be?

    Thanks for the kind words. I just can't seem to smile right now.

    OK, that's two smiles. I'm off to bed though. My head hasn't stopped hurting all night. It isn't a migraine like (that other poster) has, but it is very distracting.

    Thanks again.

    What You Mean To Me

    Raspberry topping on Chicago cheesecake
    A relaxing night to just sit and lie awake
    A warm, autumn day to drive with the top down
    A lazy afternoon in a quiet Midwest town

    An extra scoop of ice cream in my ice cream sundae
    A smile from a stranger when I’m having a bad day
    Finding a parking place right next to the front door
    You mean all this to me and so very much more

    Chorus:
    Have…I…mentioned to you?
    What…you bring to my day?
    You’re inspirational, simply sensational
    So…tell…me
    Have I mentioned to you
    How you take my anxieties away?

    Have…I…mentioned to you?
    Have…I allowed you to see?
    How precious you are, most precious by far
    So…tell…me
    Have I mentioned to you
    Just what you mean to me?


    The rich, leather smell of a brand new briefcase
    The sumptuous, first night in my very own place
    A warm mocha latte, deep in January
    Meeting the girl that I one day will marry

    Taking the ferry when time doesn't matter
    A whole afternoon dedicated to chatter
    Winning first prize in a forgotten contest
    You're these things and more and to this I do attest

    Chorus:
    Have…I…spoken from the heart?
    Have…I showed you with deeds?
    How much you inspire; how much I admire
    Please…tell…me
    Have I spoken from the heart
    About what you mean to me?


    Saturday mornings
    The smell of a new car
    Smiling children
    A weekend in Del Mar
    Slurping spaghetti
    Quiet time in the country
    Sweet, French cologne
    My name on the marquee

    Chorus:
    Have…I…proved it to you?
    Have…I made you believe?
    You’re friendship is rare, deep respect we share
    Let…me…know
    Have I proved it to you
    Just what you mean to me?

    It's beautiful AB!

    Reminds me of all the good things in life, the lazy afternoons, drives in the country, warm days, smiles, quiet time etc.

    I wish I could play guitar so I could sing it for you guys... I have the tune in my head, but I don't know how to get it anywhere else... Durn it....

    Oh, and thank you Bumble Bee, I appreciate your kind words.
