Time 2/15/20

I can't save time 

And time can't save me

The best I can do is

Sow some seeds

And pull some weeds

Create a list

Of things I missed

I will plan ahead

And do what I said

Be loving and kind

Except my decline

Go peacefully on

To the great beyond

Morning delete 2/14/20

Morning delight 

This morning before the clock turn three

Our nutty cat came and laid down on me

He purred real loud and licked my hand

Trying to make me understand

The time be damned he wanted to eat

Nothing about him is the least bit discreet

Then Peanut our dog started to wine in my ear

I got their message it was loud and clear

With joy & good humor I krept down the stairs

And directly addressed both of their cares

All three of us now sit in the warm fires light

They doze off and I wonder what to write

This early start of my 29,323rd day on earth

Is a celebration of gratitude and mirth 

There's no other place or no better time

That I can imagine to sit around & rhyme

Mirth 2/11/20

Mirth

I sit here on planet Earth

Filled with joy and great mirth

Everything seems real funny

Even losing lots of money

One more plan is turned to shit

I'll learn and smile as I take the hit

Most people learn by the time they're eighty

Not to start anything to weighty

I'll swim at the Y and have lunch with friends

And be grateful and kind till it all ends

Light 2/10/20

Light 

Turn back the night

Bring up the light

Stand up for what's right

Wage the good fight

With all of your might

To an extraordinary height

It will be a grand site

Or just more fools delight

Time 2/9/20

Time 

Time is life and life is time

And all I do is sitting rhyme  

If I'm ever gonna make a mark

I better start while there's still a spark

Everything has been preparation

A long and painful education

I will spread the bullshit of my creation

And fill the masses with inspiration

Rave on fool your time has passed

Eighty years and it's been a great blast

Choice 2/6/20

Choice 

Everything seems so funny these days

I think it's because I stepped out of the haze

Of the illusion that makes everything real

And I finally realized that I create how I feel

All this activity will soon come to an end 

And there's nothing that I need to defend

Politicians, taxes, religion or art

Here's the lesson I'd like to impart

Whatever happens I always have a choice

To give gratitude, kindness & compassion a voice

2/6/20 day 29,315

Brake 2/8/20

What a break 

Waking up on planet earth

It took me 50 years to learn how to live

With comfort, good health and something to give

So now I'll teach what I still need to learn

And keep it light and joyous at every turn

Mirth, good humor and gratitude

Are the building blocks of right attitude

I've study & trained  to except what comes next

To do it peacefully without getting perplexed

If you think I can help just give me a call

Maybe there's a drama that we can forestall
