I walk around the park
Cognizant of the beauty
That enfolds me
Each day is a
New gift to unveil
Who knows what
Will.appear
Today a beautiful.
Blue Jay
Stared at me
From.a naked branch
Revealing a hidden
Shade of grey
And a vibrant
Shade of blue
Yesterday I heard the
Lake as she danced
In the wind
Who knows what
Tomorrow will bring
But I am ready
With open eyes
To see what I
Will find
And I can't forget
To send a thank you note
To my Creator
In my dreams

Geese are honking
Flying overhead
Time to.put
Dinner on
Owls are hooting
Time for bed
Roosters crowing
Time to get up
Cows are moo ing
Time for milking
Dogs barking
Waiting to be walked
While  cats purr
Waiting for milk
How do animals
Know what time
It is
What happens when
You Spring forward
Fall back

Coming from a
Morning walk
I saw you.
I don't even
Know you
But you looked
In your empty
Mailbox
Shook.your head
And shrugged
Your shoulders
Were you. Looking
For a special letter
One that lovers
Only send
Were you hoping
To hear from
A family member
Or were you
Just hoping even
To see advertisements
To remind you
You weren't alone

Never liked football
I thought it was too violent
Now I watch it
As much as I can
I wonder if that means
I am violent
What about the sound
From crashing helmets
Knowing someone could
Get hurt
Or the big pile up
And the poor one
At the bottom
Am I violent
Or do sports
Count

I.told.you I
Lit a candle
Just for you
But you went
And blew.it out
I brought you
A sandwich
To work
You threw it down
I tried to make
You laugh
You growled
At me
I.opened the door
You closed it
You said  hello
Now I say goodbye
This never happened. Dont even know where this came from. Perhaps covid thoughts

Helmets are crashing
The fans are cheering loudly
Who will win the game
