 OTHERS

 

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?
