youthful dreams fullfilled
springtimes eternal promise
looking back fondly

many moons ago
summer heat would never fade
wishing for the cold

leaves restless rustle
cooling winds fading to brown
frozen ground below

beauty surrounds
even among decay
yet go unseen

heartfelt match
endlessly searching
two as one

no sounds made
watching sitka deer
tiptoeing

yikes venezuela
double yikes for red china
lost their human's rights

corrupt governments
pillaging their own people
with just signs to fight

they let it happen
trusting in greedy humans
no one else to blame

lessons never learned
our founding fathers teachings
history repeats

lithium mines
earthly sores bleeding ore
for electric rides

It takes me longer
slowly working to your goal
age does have it's perks

rooster crows
eggs fry sunny up
morning breaks

the air between us
fills with anticipation
as the heat rises

saw this cross last night
safely sleeping in my bed
God's little blessings
