The points accumulate

So does the debt.

Bills need to be paid

While the worry flourishes.

Stomachs should not be empty

Yet electronic devices are everywhere.

Inconsistencies exist

And we all still breath.

Overshadows

Blames

Minimizes successes

Maximizes regrets

One wrong thing

and everyone knows

Failure is fears’ greatest weapon

and it uses it without failure

every

single

time!

I pray for the day

When you realize

Your deep hatred

Has ruined your peace.

I pray for the day

When you see past your eyes

And find the human

Underneath your derision.

I pray for the day

When you look in the mirror

And know the pain etched

In the lines in your face

Were caused by you.

I pray for the day

When you put down your cross

And decide to stop

Nailing me to mine.

I pray for the day

When you and I can talk

And you know who I am

Not who you think I should be.

I pray for the day

And sometimes

My prayers are answered.

Hope draws us all.

We sense the changes.

Regrets follow us.

A new dawn begins.

Once the clouds move past

we see ourselves in each other.

Love is blind

and universal.

Give and you will find you are never empty.

Simple.

It is evil.

That which you deem necessary

is only there

to continue the evil.

Change the necessary

and then

you can change the evil.

I would rather have them be a joy to teach in your classroom than in mine.

I would rather have a steady income than live paycheck to paycheck.

I would rather be thankful for my life than live drowning in regret.

I would rather play games than work.

Rather selfish wouldn’t you say?

Flutters delicately in the wind.

Wrapped around the waist.

Worn as a shawl.

Covers the head simply tied.

Or in this winter wind

guards our neck and face

against the bitter cold!

Let them sleep.

It is quiet.

Moments for mommy.

Perhaps a nap for her as well.

Too bad her naps

Are longer than theirs.

Laugh as much as you want.

Find the humour in anything.

Give yourself the freedom to be happy.

Then cry yourself to sleep.

Have the bad days

they help remind you of the good ones.

Be grateful for any day

and love the laughter you can enjoy.
