SURPRISE

You got to get outside ….

You got to get outside yourself ….

You got to open your eyes ….
You got to open your ears ....

You got to open your mind ….

It's then you'll see ....
It's then you'll hear ....
It's then when you'll experience
so many surprises everywhere ….

maybe even inside yourself.

LAST  RIGHTS

As priest just anointed a mom and wife -

with the kids and dad around  the bed.

Hospice has been called and now it’s

only a matter of time to say right last words.

There will be plenty of time afterwards

to thank God for all the good we did right

and forgiveness for what we did wrong -

but not now - not now - just right words now.

WHY THE RUSH?

Do birds and bees know shortcuts?

Upon arrival, does a bluebird wonder

how this cardinal got to this water spot

ahead of me - and started after me?

Do birds and bees get distracted or sidetracked?

Why rush? Some branches have better

scenic overviews than others? Why not stop

to smell the roses on the way as they say?

Why the rush?
