“Canine Wills,”

by Amalia (Amy) Zents

“Just went for a walk in the pouring rain

with a broken umbrella that flopped left and right;

Trying to stabilize it was like propping up a sailor,

Drunk and ready to fight.

The dogs came with me on my walk;

their fur got soaking wet;

But they begged me to go out with them,

and therefore out we went!

The Lilac trees and fresh mown grass

smelled fresh and cool and sweet,

The sky was dark, the lamps were lit,

as my wet socks soaked my feet;

Two canine wills prevailed o’er me,

although both dogs got drenched

As we journeyed home,

we all felt glad their urge to pee was quenched!”

“Spring has Sprung”
by Amalia (Amy) Zents

“Spring has sprung!
The fun’s begun~
Time to mow,
Time to plant,
Time to work,
Time to pant!
Spring has sprung!
The bugs are back~
The weeds are
Keeping right on track!
Spring has sprung!
So let’s all smile;
The blooming plants
Make it all worthwhile!"

"Universal Trust," by Amalia (Amy) E. Zents

"A Universal Trust," 
by Amy Zents

"Before you reach the end of the trail,
Keep in mind some rules-
To make the world a happier place
You have to "suffer fools."
Everyone can teach you something
Never keep from learning,
Everyone is gifted;
So, keep your love-light burning.
It's possible to mitigate strife,
By being wise and just;
And making folks feel special
Is a universal trust

"His Music," By Amalia E. Zents for James H. Zents

"His Music," by Amalia E. Zents for James H. Zents

His music plays inside my soul.
The beatings of my tender heart
Thump fast;
When I think of my beloved
How we’ve made love last.
In the soft light, when the shades are drawn
and all the daytime noise is gone,
Sometimes my memories remind me,
Of fears I’ve had, and tears I’ve shed,
But I go on.
No one else can comfort me
Like he does,
Helping me find happiness
through his eyes of love.
Helping me take my mind off me,
He guides me out to a world of wonder
With a personal guitar journey
As my ears collide with the bonny notes
I catch the colors of Spring,
His music makes me clap my hands, and dance and laugh and sing
Leading me to better place,
Clasping me in it’s warm embrace.
His music easily helps me find,
A better frame of heart and mind!

There’s So Much to Please,” by Amy Zents

5/20/19

“Don’t like the way the sky looks?

But it wouldn’t be so green,

without the clouds .

We need the water falling to make it pure

We need the trees and the flowers

The birds and bees.

We need the wind and the grass;

It makes the view;

Even the sky blue.

And when the day rolls by

We can see the gardens,

As they thrive in the shade and sun

We can picnic on the lawn

We can climb a hill, cross a bridge

or take a swim.

No need to hurry, no need to be in a

rush

Just watch the water gush into the lake

Get some exercise.

Look at the rocks and water,

The river flowing, always going..

Beauty is on and off the path

Beauty is in our present and past

The dark clouds and the white

The day turns into night.

When you feel overwhelmed

Imagine the majesty of the rainbow

And find shelter on a path to escape,

Take a walk beneath the trees

Contemplate the leaves

Think of horses, feel the breeze

There’s so much to please.”

"Less Hard," by Amalia E. Zents 5/19/13

My latest song called, "Less Hard." Here are the lyrics:
(This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.is original content created by Amalia Zents ©Amalia Zents 2013)

"Even out in the Midwest there is stress
You can’t escape it.
Loneliness and Obesity
Cement sidewalks and bad weather
Traffic, so much traffic
Still goes through town
Putting out smoke
Putting out filth
But the sky seems wider here
The sky seems bluer
The winters are long
The nights grow dark and bleak
When the sidewalks are covered in sleet
Downtown there are bright lights
Same as any other place
There’s a little mall
And everyone wants more
The latest and the best
But, I have dreams, same as you
I close my eyes, and when Spring comes
I plant flowers
I remember the cold, and I’m glad it’s Spring.
I remember the frost on the trees
I think of the big city I grew up in
And I’m a little glad I don’t need to be
Around so many people out here
In the Heartland
Where the sky turns majestic colours
That quicken the pulse
Better here than there
The world is a little less hard
Where you keep your identity
By cleaning your backyard".
