Today’s a new beginning

and I wish for you no less

than a day of inner sunshine

filled with peace and happiness.

Good morning, Friend.

This day is new.

The joy comes bubbling

up in you.

Good morning, Friend.

Joy fills your heart.

Another day.

Another start.

The weather’s raw.

The cold bites hard.

White frost spreads thick

ccross the yard.

The driveway’s slick.

The falls are quick.

Best be wary.

January.

I’m making resolutions

for the year of Twenty-Five.

I’ll be a better person.

My endeavors all will thrive.

I’ll exercise.  I’ll lose some weight.

I will no more procrastinate.

I’ll shun a plate of candy

for some carrots and some peas.

And I‘ll use a tissue daintily

should I be forced to sneeze.

Like Job, I’ll wait quite patiently

when I must stand in line.

When it rains I will remember that

one day it will be fine.

I’ll promptly do each boring chore.

I’ll work without complaint.

And when it’s done, I’ll do one more.

(And smile.)

  You’ll think I am a saint.

I’ll file my taxes.  Pay my bills.

I’ll make no mountains from mole hills.

In short, you’re just about to see,

in Twenty-Five, a whole new Me!

I send you blessings for this day

and hope that you receive them,

so ev’rything you want for you

appears and you achieve them.

Life is better

with a bit of money.

To our daily bread

we can add some honey.

The morning comes.

Another day.

We strive to do our best.

And then the night releases us

and we can take our rest.

Goodnight, my Friend.

The day is done.

Lay down your head to rest.

Close now your eyes.

Let slumber come.

And know you’ve done your best.

I live alone with one old cat, and

she lives here with me.

She stares with wide, unblinking eyes

as she considers me….

The Felon-in-Chief

better watch his nose.

In case, like Pinocchio’s,

it grows.
