Living the Aging Life

Mother’s Day’s a day of peace.
Of loving. And forgiving.
For reconciliation.
And a rebirth for the living.

This day’s a blessing and a gift.
It comes to us quite free.
Whatever use we make of it
is up to you and me.

May’s a pretty little month.
She dances in quite sweetly.
She offers up her warmer days
both shyly and discretely.

My garden’s filled with mysteries
that wait to be discovered,
and filled with joyous things to see
that wait to be uncovered.

The Maple Leaf is flying high.
She bears her nation’s tale.
And proud proclaims to all the world:
This country’s Not for Sale.

Prince Harry lost his case in court.
He wants to whine and pout.
He thought he’d be forgiven.
But the Family’s holding out.
When he had his Princely Duty,
he decided to eschew it.
But now that time’s a-passin’
he must wish he didn’t do it.

May this blessing

lift your heart

and bring you hope today.

And may this blessing

fill your life

with joy along your way.

Technology’s terrific

when it works the way it should.

But when it stutters –

and then balks –

it doesn’t seem much good.

Hello the Sun!  Wake up, New Day!

I open up my eyes,

and find a world around me

that is filled with bright surprise.

My candle burns to calm his pain –

and ease his mother’s sorrow.

My candle burns to give them hope

that there’ll be health tomorrow.
