The Fibonacci numbers aren't tragic Indeed, these are a thing of constant magic Leonardo of Pisa is a true figure of history That revealed these numbers in their mystery
We ask ourselves questions to puzzle and learn All these things we might together discern For why numbers like five eight, poor thirteen And through this joke, learn what it means
In all the numbered patterns, we may exercise These riddles remain the driving force of the wise Leapfrogging as our knowledge continues to grow And in the end, there is a lot left yet to show
Nature reveals itself as a part of the sequence That Fibonacci reveals to all and whence It is that all becomes patterns to learn And discover all that we might yet have to discern
Life is full of numerical questions and connections However, we look in our diverse senses of direction It becomes almost clear for all to somewhat plainly see That numbers are part of the fable of life's mystery
When we look in the way of Fibonacci squares We see that Fibonacci numbers are everywhere There are disparate ways to see how patterns pervade You cannot get away from the patterns that persuade
Evenly dived into thirds of numerical proportion The patterns of evenness are clear without distortion Those who travel the world with numbers on their mind Come to know that they cannot leave Fibonacci behind
All this eventually leads to the Golden Ratio Which appears to all, no matter where it is that we go The numbers we play at seem very clear But best of all, they are true forever
We don't just solve for x as we go along But we determine why these numbers rightly belong In doing this, we learn again to question why This grand contemplation is summed up with a sigh

I met a lady who knew all the ways of love And she came into my day like a voice from above I wondered what I might have to give her in her day Having nothing special to add, I gave her my time anyway
She had a face that made me deeply smile And the type of looks that didn't whisper denial But made me wish and somehow made me dream Wondering if touching her would be like a heavenly being
She took my hand, and as we walked The more deeply we entwined and talked Peeling back the layers, I found her fascinating With each new thought beyond titillating
I wondered what it was that made me smile so All the same, I have decided to give time with her a go Maybe life comes down to something as simple as a smile I guess I'll know the passing answer after a while
It seems to me that she has led quite a life I wondered if she could picture becoming my wife How tame that would be compared to where she had been And if she would long at times for back then
Still, I knew if she was meaning her words for real She was the type for which I could always feel Her presence goes beyond the mere beauty seen She'd easily be one of my favorite human beings

My ex-wife recovers from surgery on this Mother's Day I gave up the weekend she owed to show in some sort of way That I wish her to recover and want my daughters to tend To her over being paid back for another wrong on her end
As I spend this day alone, I find myself thinking about All those things life has left in and what was left out I wished when my mother knew her time was finished and done That I might have pulled a miracle like some better son
Momma used to always make the time to pray And stumbled into Jesus along her way She wouldn't go to church because of things done But she had a personal relationship with the Son
She taught me it was best to go and quietly pray And to always keep the Lord present throughout my day I've never known anyone more loving and brave And she quietly taught me about the power that saves
I saw her go through a lot in her too-short a life Keeping her grace despite life's struggle and strife There were times she'd call on God to give her strength And kept her composure and compassion throughout it's length
For those she encountered found just outside the door She always showed love and compassion, sharing her more Lord, how I miss my mother today, even though I know That she's in Heaven spending time with you, I hope it shows
That her traces live on every day in her imperfect son I look back with a tear and laugh at the things I've done And on this Mother's Day, I go out looking at nature As she had taught me and hope she'd be happy at how I matured
I find myself down the trail and pray on this Mothers Day And hope I've done well with my precious daughters in my way I still remember things momma said and the lessons she taught And I live them my best, as she would have lovingly sought
