Chick, Robin, & Smile. This is just a 1st draft, I usually don't post them til I revise, but I wanted 2 let Chick know that I wrote a new piece, had not wrote one since I got back from Minnesota!

The Storms That Come Are Way

Today, like all days, I have been blessed.
To awake to another day of life…hearing the birds sing.
I have once again…been spared…to pray for others.
Life…is hard…friends ease the burdens…the trials.
We are here today…gone tomorrow.
Complain, sure…we are human…imperfect, even spoiled.


All the money in the world…can’t buy life.
Work to enjoy life…don’t let it control you.
Spend time with family and friends…have no regrets.
Give loved ones flowers…while they are alive
Not to put on their graves.
Continue to pray for others…not just when things are bad.

All of us basically want the same things…
Family, friends, good health…to be loved.
There is no room for jealousy…covetousness.
We can help change this world…that is out of control,
By first…changing ourselves.
It can be done…in spite of.
