Say hello to the moment stretch out your hand and you say with an open heart what's in for us?
it replies well--it's just you and me I am the stage you are the actor I can't even raise a finger unless you make the first move there is no show without you I have no life nor delight of my own
no philosopher am I call me an ordinary bloke I didn't go to college (just an average student- finished high school at 17 poor family I came from dad was an odd-jobs man) I held several jobs but disliked working for others now a farmer with a helping wife (we have two kids--very young still- one boy and one girl- we adore them) we earn enough decent living as the saying goes
I wake up early and hello to my farm I say I talk to the plants (they grow better as they understand what I say)
after harvest to the town I take my produce and then I say hello to the people who walk by and they say hello in reply these are great things you bring--I'll have these two also that over there hello- what a magnificent word just the sound makes me happy and I am in the day's doing-show
to me life is just saying hello I have an unwritten alliance with moments in time they are with me wherever I am and wherever I go.
Why treat life as a score-board? with pen and paper adding up the points grumbling when you fall short every dart you throw is like one in vengeance with bloodshot and greedy eyes score score score more more more
and when the mark you missed anger and shame swell in your face like one consigned to disgrace and you got terribly ******
why treat life as a source of self-satisfaction and self-glorification? you feel good like a Napoleon or Alexander The Great when those around applaud your feat and prowess
but too soon the night dissolves everyone in the bar is tired of the silly game you play enough drinks and folly for the night they start to walk away
in the dart-room you are playing a game no one does bother to care and soon enough forgets your name
I paused and took a step back I looked around and was unsure ' You're a coward ' my critics chided I replied: ' For folly there's no cure'.
Prudence has taught me Life's prizes and trophies are never easy to secure I've seen so many mighty giants fall by the roadside- They were too arrogant and too cocksure.
