LIFE:
A USER’S MANUAL
Forgiveness for starters.
Eventually accepting who and what is:
oatmeal and the parents we have.
Being held - being told we’ll enjoy
the roller coaster - “Don’t be scared!
We’re here!” Then
ice cream together
on hot nights - with mom and dad -
watching them enjoy it as much
as we do. Schools: a good education
and enthusiasm - music and play.
Religion - and being able to
question questions - along with
doubts and seeing faith - not just
in church, temple, or mosque, but in
feeding the poor and helping
fix up and paint a house or two.
And enjoying the breeze - like a
a Labrador does while driving - cool air
coming through an open car window
riding down the roads of life.
