The Optimist

It’s the last day of the month
so these lines they should reflect
something of what’s taken place
and I can recollect

Of things we’ve done and visited
of how the weather’s been
of how we’ve coped and managed
of what we’ve felt and seen

But actually instead I feel
like I’m inclined to view
the promise of a month ahead
and something bright and new

We Have a Choice

WE HAVE A CHOICE

Shut off the news

and choose beauty

Let a song well up in your throat

and fill the air

The Brighter Side

 

The brighter side is always
The better place to see
Whatever life may throw at us
And wherever we may be

I choose
Mercy over madness.
Kindness over pride.
Love over lust.
Me over what is not growing me.
