3/14/21 Short road cc

We are all

Walking the short

Road back to

Nowhere

The first time I was dead

I had no troubles in my head

For reasons all unknown

I came into a zone

Of noise,light and feeling

That left me scared and reeling

It only took me 80 years

To put an end to most of my fears

Now soon I'll be dead again

What a great life it has been

We are all

Walking the short 

Road back to

Nowhere

3/9/21 stay curious cc

Stay curious 

There is always

Much more

To learn

We will never know what we don't know

But the more we know the more we grow

So much new is learned each year

About health, science and what to fear

As we learn our brains grow stronger

It may even help for us live a little longer

It's always easy to keep on learning

All it takes is a burning yearning

Lady Google knows it all 

She's always at our beckon and call

Stay curious 

There is always

Much more

To learn

3/2/21 Fashionable nonsense cc

Fashionable

Nonsense

The first time that I tried to smoke

I was sure that I was going to choke

All the adults that I know

Puffed away the whole day through

I coughed a lot but I kept on smoking

I'd fit in even if I died choking

But very soon the miseries ended

And then I felt like now I blended

There was much concern about my shirts

Especially around the pretty skirts

Fashionable

Nonsense

2/26/21 Lost in the familiar cc

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Not one drop of sap have I withdrawn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

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

2/1/21 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
