Farewell to Sunday

days ahead are just as good

I'll create the right mood

Mini-market

supermarket

hypermarket

we are overfed!

The then unanswered questions of my youth

now spring to me in my twilight years

I've found most were silly and uncalled for

a few I can address--without fears or tears

Lady waits by pier
her heart full of anxiety
when will he return?

The world is made for everyone

as for me, it's always one-to-one

I start with myself

      with others, next

      the two I string together

      I learn what to let by or annex-



     hard to say what's wrong or right

     both the old and the new I respect

     to the beginning I return at the end

     to a fresh direction my mind I reset

I've learnt a few things, have given up on past undesired parts,
I'm more selfish as I've neglected myself somewhat before,
but not at the expense of kindness, I'll deepen my love, grow in appreciation of the beauty of life, of nature and of the arts,
will be calmer and quieter, will listen empathetically, will not be judgmental, will give everyone a chance, will mind my own business but will not be insensitive to the suffering of others,
be content, grateful and humble, will live creatively as that's the essence of meaningful living, will never allow a single day to waste away as every moment is a gift, will look to the future with wonder and optimism, and never forget that it's kindness and humaneness which will make the world a better place.
