There’s trouble in the Amazon.

There’s trouble in Ukraine.

There’s trouble in Korea

and Virginia and in Spain.

The climate’s not the baddest

thing of bad things we can find.

The baddest thing we have on earth?

.. the badness of mankind.

I’m alone in the house

with a box of  See’s Candy.

The candy just seems to insist.

I try to be good

and say NO as I should.

The candy’s too much to resist.

People feel heart ache.

People feel woe.

People’s feet stumble

on the paths they go.

People need comfort.

People need to find

a loving heart

and a friend who’s kind.

There’s frost on the rooftops.

Frost on the grass.

Frost on the surface

of the overpass.

There’s frost on the

porch steps.

Frost on the rose.

If I go outside –

there’s frost

un my nose.

But it’s November

and I suppose

it’s no surprise

that everything froze.

When did it happen?

That everything froze?

My Virtue’s over-flowing as I look out on the rain.

An atmospheric river is just pelting down again.

My garden’s set for winter, though there’s more than I can do.

No matter what the weather serves, my garden sees me through.

My yard waste bin is to its brim.

It’s top is over flowing.

I hate to see the season change,

but things have just stopped growing.

The petunias and the marigolds

have reached their season’s end.

I’ll miss their pretty cheerfulness.

They were like a summer friend.

Happy Birthday, Special One.

This prayer is meant for you…

for deep success and happiness

and joy the whole day through.
