Lost in the

Familiar

I was young and he was old

Of the future he foretold

From the maple grove the brush we cleared

Until the sun had almost disappeared

He said someday these trees would be mine

And the maple sap would flow like wine

More than 70 springs have come and gone

Not one drop of sap have I withdrawn

I sit here writing by the fires light

Just 200 feet from that very site

Lost in the

Familiar

2/26/21 day 29,292

Do less get more 2/21/21cc

Do less

Get more

Busy busy all the time

Never anytime to rhyme

This day ahead will be gone forever

I'll choose carefully what I endeavor

Good decisions change things fast

Days fly by but outcomes last

Where in 5 years would I like to be

Rich and famous, thin and free?

I'll set my sales and stay the course

And then time will kill me without remorse

Do less

Get more

 

Question everything Assume nothing 2/15/21

Question everything 

Assume nothing

Only a sleuth

Can get to the truth

Big companies are selling

Politicians are yelling

They pull facts from the air

Talk nonsense with flair

So how do we know

What's real or a show

Study and ponder

Till you're taken up yonder

Question everything

Assume nothing

2/15/21 day 29,281

2/1/21 We paint the days on the canvas of our lives cc

We paint the days 

On the canvas

Of our lives

In the mornings first light

I sit here and write

Of the things that I will do

While the sky is still blue

And then once again

Like most other days end

The list stays intact

Because I don't act

We paint our days

On the canvas

Of our lives
