'LIFE"S TANGLE'

"LiFE'S TANGLES'

It gets all twisted

At times.

You must try to untangle it

Before it gets worse.

There are knots to deal with

You may need a sharp object

To loosen them.

When it seems impossible

You want to give up

Throw them in a corner

Cover your eyes and just scream!

One day you wake up.

You are  really old!

The tangles are still in the corner

Covered in cobwebs.

You are too weak to pick them up.

Your memory is partly gone

Not sure what caused them

In the first place.

Let me think.

Oh yeah...

I didn't live up to their expectations!

Now, all those cry babies are old.

Life is fair, after all!

I am still working on this recipe.  I added the ground

up oatmeal and salt so they will help keep you 'regular'.

These taste better and are even more satisfying.

Lots of nutrition.  

"Winds"

WINDS

The winds of time accelerate

Whipping into a tornado

Pulling all the hurt and pain

From our minds our soul

And our bodies.

Now relieved of all that's sad

We sit and rock

Staring out a window

Wondering the purpose

Wondering the strife

Wondering if God

Observed our strange life....

A Lesson from Nature

A Lesson from Nature

A soft stillness quiets 

all disturbing thoughts

Hope filters in

The birds are chirping

At this early hour

They sound happy

And busy.

They have no time

To dwell on past sorrows

When their babies grow up

The parents fly away and expect

Their babies

To make it on their own.

Birds are awesome!

Great Gramma isn't fun Any more

"Great Gramma"

Great Gramma isn't fun any more 

She never has parties for us

Never seems to want us over

No more cards with money

No gifts... no babysitting

Doesn't even want to be called "Gramma"

Says it denotes  responsibility 

Another strange thing

We can't make her cry

No matter how much we try

She just does her thing...

Writes poems, makes herbal concoctions

Goes to the Casino with Gramps

Not a care in the world...

What the heck is wrong with her?

Hate vs Love

Perhaps hate can never win out over love,

But it can kick it, scrunch it, beat on it,

 and make it hide frightened in a corner!
