"wiebe" poems
When today is all red
but yesterday was full green
-remember, we’re all in this together
When you feel your belly wriggle
due to their infectious giggle
-know that there’s sugar with the spice
If you are doing three
transfers in fifteen minutes
-remember, we’re all in this together
If you feel the garden hose spray
of their amazing joy-full day
-know that there’s sugar with the spice
At times when the top of the first
feels like the bottom of the ninth
-remember, we’re all in this together
At dawn of Thursday’s Eve
as you feel a week’s worries start to leave
-know that there’s sugar with the spice
When the bus has not arrived
but your patience has departed
-remember, we are all in this together
When success smells like sweet grass
freshly cut, or a masterful CLP class
-know that there’s sugar with the spice
Should the day’s turmoil find you throwing
your bowling ball down the wrong lane
-remember, we’re all in this together
Should you feel your day’s ride’s
Slick with joy like a waterslide
-know there’s sugar with the spice
Oh when today is red
but yesterday was full green
remember, we’re all in this together
know that there’s sugar with the spice
and for all of our sakes
keep your stick on the ice

Alone
With my thoughts
Alone
In my actions
Alone
With these tears
Alone
With this pain
An ache
That stays with me
Where ever I go
Alone
Is what and where
I am
Alone
In a crowd
Alone
In my home
Alone
Is scary
Comforting
Lonely
Born alone
Live alone
And I will surely
Die alone
