9/11/21 One more chance

One more

Chance

One more day on planet earth 

I'll be sure to fill it with joy and mirth

This may be the last one that I’ll know 

I'll stay awake and savor the show 

Almost 30,000 days have passed 

The mystery grows until the last 

There's so much new I want to learn 

And I have free time with no concern 

It's the blessing of old age

Maybe someday I'll become a stage 

One more

Chance

9/10/21 Attitude

The most important thing 

In my life 

Is within my power to change  

( my attitude )

It's so cold, I can't stand the heat 

My back always hurts and so do my feet 

But

There's gas in the car and great places to go 

Electric, plumbing and a plow for the snow 

Now

I will direct my thoughts to always be grateful 

Kind, present, humorous, and playful

The most important thing 

In my life 

Is within my power to change  

( my attitude )

8/23/21 Lost in the familiar cc

Lost in the

Familiar

One more day

Same old way

Winter is here

Springtime is near

Then summer again

I don't know when

It will come to an end

So be of good cheer

Laugh while you're here

You will soon disappear

Lost in the

Familiar

8/10/21 Mission cc

What is the next

Mission critical

Action

Always busy never thinking

My greatest asset always shrinking

Take some time and figure out

What the next step is all about

Forget all else and take the leap

And finish it before you sleep

Sometimes things change really fast

My largest dream may come to pass

And then what

Happiness? Fulfillment? World peace?

Or just old fashion eternal death

 

What is the next

Mission critical

Action

7/29/21 the mystery

 

 Savor 

The mystery

I don’t know why

I don’t know how

All I really know is

I’ll never know 

And that I am incredibly grateful

To have this opportunity 

Of experiencing human life on the planet earth 

Now

Loving, learning, associating with others 

And living in our cozy little settlement 

On my grandfather’s potato field

A drop of time 

A stupid rhyme

I’ll savor the mystery

Till I’m just history

7/16/21 does this activity cc

Does this

Activity

Lead me to where

I want to be

No is the answer most of the time

All I do is sit and rhyme

Today I'll make a great bold list

Of all the things that I have missed

And one by one I'll cross them off

Then someday soon I'll sit and scoffed

At all the wasted time I spent

I'll learn from it without lament

Oh what great things I'll achieve

Or is this just one more chance to self deceive

Does this

Activity

Lead me to where

I want to be

7/14/21 know that you must die cc

Breathe deeply

And know that you 

Must die

If I knew it would be today

What wisdom would I convey

Study life and be kind

Always manage your busy mind

Be loving and grateful

Never act hateful

Get tough and resilient

But don't think that you're brilliant

All we have is just a little time

So write a song or some stupid rhyme

Breathe deeply

And know that you 

Must die
