TIN MAN


The Tin man is standing against the wind.
Protecting me from its grasp.
This man of tin with a body so strong.
A heart that’s been hurt has a golden clasp.

He carries me away with arms of steel.
Hiding me from a world that’s so harsh.
Eyes that are sharp like the blade of a knife.
They reflect the hurt that’s decided his life.

Tin man do you see me with those eyes that show hurt?
Do you feel me with those cold steel arms?
Can I pierce the armor that you have created?
The armor that protects you from all the worlds harms.

I know what the world can do to a soul.
I know what deep chasms can quickly unfold.
I know that I love you even though you don’t show,
That there are feelings inside of your body so cold.

Let me warm you and show you there can be love.
Let me soften your eyes that keep focused above.
Please look down on me now and show me you care.
I so want to touch you and make you aware.

Thanks for the input guys. I have decided to have a slimfast for breakfast and do salads with veggies and tofu for a meal and to cut out the starches all together.

Your right about the water Elise. I can always tell that I feel better when I drink more water. Yes she is way more than odd but I can say that there is no blood connection thank God! She is married to my step brother.

Linda thanks for the tips. I just bought a Tai Chi excercise kit. I am hoping that it will do me some good. I know about the left overs what you say is very logical I just have a hard time getting my southern heritage under control. My grandmother wasted nothing and it has sadly become a part of who I am.

I'm looking to shed about 20 pounds all together but am hoping to get rid of at least 5 pounds maybe 8 in the next two weeks. I've done it before with the South Beach diet but I just don't have time to prepare every single meal like they want you to.

Toodles and Happy Holidays for now Keriam
