Try to be fair
Try to be smart
Even smarter
Being kind, honest, caring, and considerate are my credo
Too many hiding in the shadows
Running away fed up and annoyed
Living in yesterday suits some while the here and now wields stability
As well as some redirection
Some cant let go
Some just give in
Truth be told
History repeats herself
Do you want to be a participant or a spectator?
Do you want to be a fly on the wall?
It is painful to watch.
Respect and Truth are partners

Caring comes from the heart
If the head gets in the way or the noise surrounding you
Not only must you think
You have to listen, read, and learn everyday
If you shut yourself off from time to time
No problem
But your are to blame if you shut off and down completely
Live your life as fully and as completely as possible
Jump or walk around the hurdles whenever they arrive
It's obvious and time to do it
For those oblivious or ignorant, my sympathies
It is obvious
Excuses need not apply

You love who you love
No country or government should dictate otherwise
No religion
No political party
Nor should any State or Country tell wonen how to live their lives.
As a straight women who survived a crime and am forever changed and scarred by it,how dare they!
LGBQT people deserve respect
Think what you want but be kind and thoughtful
Now not yesterday.

Walking is excercise and means to destress
With Mother Nature as company I am off
Charity miles tracker so ASPCA gets funding for every mile
Listening for bird songs
Buying a bag of nuts for the squirrels in park
Placing them under trees and by fences
One little one looking for food hid in his tree
Quietly watching for the sweetheart to climb down
Happily munching on what left I behind
Sunday walks in October

The alarm went off again
Another repeat and routine
Necessary evil
The WORSE part of the marriage vows
You are the one to see your love through
The treatment commercials make their point
Just once show both sides of the story
You hate Cancer and you want to rid the earth of it
Treating it is one thing
Watching your loved one and yourself deal is quite another
Deal, you will
Places to go and People to see
Ringing that bell and he will
It is so much more than ringing the bell
Better days ahead

When inside out becones outside in
The worst is the best you've ever had
What was good never had a chance to be bad
You finally got to see the other side but you didnt dare
take the ride
Just when the world didnt rhyme
Does it make what you are feeling less sublime?
Did you ever really start?
Will you get up and begin?
Win

Are you seeking the correct word or words?
Imagery
Photographs and Landscapes
Colors Crayola has not conceived of yet
Do they tell the story?
Is it fresh and new?
Does it capture what you need it to say?
Is your Muse beckoning you?
Did they wake you again in time to type it or jot it down?
In the middle of the night
Just when sleep comes
You know you are no longer a novice
You are a writer being called to do what you must do
Pleasant dreams and hope your passion keeps your poetry coming
