I can 371



If you say
I can or
If you say I can't
You're right

Great ideas are everywhere
They come and go without fanfare
It's rare when one will get some traction
When all it takes is to get in action
Dreams plans and schemes are very nice
But just a few will pay the price
To say "I can"and forge ahead
And make a mark before they're dead
So when you speak of what you'll do
It's only you who can follow through

If you say
I can or
If you say I can't
You're right

Old 370



Getting old
Ain't no place for
Sissies

Sore joints and itchy eyes
Poor vision and sagging thighs
Getting old is some great trip
Even if I break a hip
Entropy is what I'm doing
But it's wisdom that I'm been brewing
The best of life is saves for last
I left all the miseries in the past
Now it's clear be of good cheer
I may not last another year

Getting old
Ain't no place for
Sissies

Impartial 369

Impartial
Observation

Why do we do the things that we do
I often laugh when I sit in review
And think of how weekly my plans I purser
But
We can learn at any age
If in study we engage
Wisdom may become our wage
But
All we ever have is now
To father time we all must bow
Give up all hope and push our plow

Saver 368


Saver the
Existing inconvenience
Conditions

The path to freedom is steep and rough
But that makes us resilient and tough
Hard becomes easy when we do it enough
Or
Wine and complain tell all of your trouble
Tell them how life is nothing that struggle
And how all your dreams burst like a bubble
Or
Study and practice create some great skill
Set your course so it's always up hill
Always remember you're building your will

Saver the
Existing inconvenience
Conditions

Don't kill me 367

God please
Don't kill me
Yet

This voyage that you have sent me on
It is one incredible phenomenon
It only took me 80 years
To give up all my stupid fears
I learned a lot in the last decade
It makes me even more dismayed
Now I know I'll never know
What I don't know but before I go
One thing I can now say clearly
Be grateful kind and love life dearly

God please
Don't kill me
Yet

Contradictions 366



Be at home
With your
Contradictions

Sometimes in the course of my day
The plans that I laid windup in decay
Most of the time I can see my good fortune
I have been served such a generous portion
Once in a while
Without any style
I wine and complain
From a whole other brain
But this is the hand that I was dealt
So I'll play it with awareness & stealth

Be at home
With your
Contradictions

Purpose 365

One
Purpose
Many assignments

Brush your teeth and wash your hair
Hurry up there's no time to spare
Pay the bills and shop for food
Cook it up make sure it's chewed
Busy busy our lives we spend
But there's only one thing in the end
To train ourselves to live with gratitude
And reject at once unwholesome attitude
Joy and bliss are our own creation
And that should be our destination

One
Purpose
Many assignments
