crunch time to begin

World Gratitude Day
World Gratitude Day
perhaps this may be always
one day’s not enough
each day is a grateful day
when looking at life, it’s there
waiting to be found
it’s in the air that we breathe
it’s in touch and sighs
it’s in all that we provide
it’s in all the things we do
thankful actions rule
as if we already know
something good’s coming
to speak of gratitude now
it’s a given thing we’ll count
thinking gratitude
affects pozzie attitudes
knowing it’s for real
helping this world heal starts now
when we recognize the toil
grateful for us all
grateful for human beings
grateful for good deeds
grateful for acts of kindness
grateful to be the kind ones
world gratitude day
as real as it is today
let’s think about it
as an everyday act
and make it a good habit
The Tree Has Eyes
staring into space
looking back are these two eyes
laughing with nature
Refuse to Believe Anything But the Truth
Relief was not for Beth, watching out the window, seeing nobody to help her.
Everybody had other things to do and, while she understood, her heart would ache.
Family and friends alike wished her well as she cared for her mother without staff.
Undermining comments were a source of disdain, coming from the critical milieu.
Simply ignoring this was not easy, but Beth refused such and stayed in focus.
Everybody came for show at the end of it all, Beth left with her own peace.

Stay Strong
even under stress
sands will hold force together
appearances skewed
Keep Hoping
erosion beckons
foundations shaking hold on
facing certain hope
Awareness Comes
tides will come and go
washing up the new and old
bringing forth new thoughts
