These days we
last long enough to grow old
live long enough to reflect
but don't grow up enough
to bother.
Lord, save us from ourselves.
This is new - medicine gives us time, but we dont know how to use it.
kindness given
kindness received
small transactions
unseen, .
but not unnoticed
are the true pennies
from heaven
tossed with love,
into the wells
of our tired hearts

Can any one spare
a penny.... or two
                     ......today
With thanks to the Nattyman..for throwing his piggy bank at us
Never judge the outside of a man
If you've no idea of what he holds within
The places he's going or the places he's been
Never judge the outside of a man

Never judge a book you haven't read
If you haven't taken the time to bend the cover back
Or dog eared a page to contemplate what it says
Never judge a book you haven't read

Never judge one or the other
The outside of a man or a book by its cover
It's what's on the inside that you can rely
Never judge one or the other
This is the comedy of life
I guarantee that by night
You will either laugh or cry

This is the tragedy
Life is full of irony
And all of it borders on insanity

And this my dear is the funny part
Life is so hilarious that it will break your heart
Before you even start
Another old poem from 2010
