To care about others ….
To hope their marriages work …
even though
sometimes marriages don’t.
To see people in wheelchairs
and hope they get better.
To feel heart storms
as kids get yelled at
by angry parents.
To become overwhelmed
with joy when someone does
volunteer work for others.

HOW YOU DEAL
WITH A BITTER DEAL
Some people get a bitter deal.
Some get a better deal than others,
We wake up some mornings
and all goes well for the day.
But some days all goes wrong.
Sometimes it’s not our fault
when the yoke breaks.
Sometimes it is our fault.
What we do next is what’s
important – especially if we
love scrambled eggs.

JUST NOW
Just now: that’s all we get.
Just now.
We forget on purpose.
We try to slide away
from what we promised.
We lie lies we call something else.
We get stuck in the mistakes
the regrets and the what if’s.
We get caught up in the plans
we never put into practice.
Too many words take over.
We forget that some people
listen, remember, are well
aware of what is going on just now.
We're not.

MOTION
Show me some motion
and some emotion as well.
Show me you’re alive.
Do some kicking.
Tell me some history –
a story or two.
Where have you been
since the last time I saw you?
Better and fuller: what have
you been doing since
the last time I saw you?
