but who counts
glad to be here

planning tomorrow
trying not to make God laugh
learning the lesson
lucky is being prepared
to meet opportunity

Poem:
.
dreaming of things that will never be
people, places and riches that I will never see
positions of power that I could never achieve
feats of glory that no one would ever believe
always content to just be little old me
enjoying a life that is simple, carefree
almost on the verge of being complacent
doing my best to try everyone’s patience
if the questions wrong there is no answer
like why is hate such a ruinous cancer
the right question is who do you love
the answer should be everyone and God above
deliberately avoiding any philosophy
friends are those who share in honesty
enjoying the Creators grand design
sunrise, sunset, every one a beautiful shrine
both young and old go forth to seek peace
may your love of mankind never cease
