“To love

face
look to
fight to win
see what is ahead
confront

love is in the air
the atmosphere is pleasing
beautiful people
a gleeful wedding party
everyone has the feeling

Poem:
.
every thought is a prayer
a question or an answer to declare
no need to kneel beside the bed
close the eyes and clear the head
gratitude must be a part of the morning prayer
identifying, trying not to compare
challenging a faith that comes and goes
a soul that doubts what others propose
my whole life has been a wish and a prayer
the outcome, I deem, has been unfair
in God’s time all prayers are answered
like wildflowers his blessings scattered
it is alright to borrow someone else’s prayer
knowing that a prayer will go everywhere
some may receive its benefits, some may not
what is nice is that you gave them a thought
be careful what you pray for,
you might just get it

strange
real queer
more than odd
a small bit quaint
weird

Poem:

pondering do I have a philosophy
conjuring up Socrates subconsciously
does my life really have a meaning
if I’m lucky I might just be dreaming
Dad said I should always be kind
love is what Mother brought to mind
can’t remember what the preacher said
the teacher tried to pound it into my head
good and bad are a matter of opinion
is there a God who has total dominion
what does ugly know about aesthetics
what percent of me is in the genetics
you lose if you were blinking
me, I was only winking
eureka, I got it when I heard the bell ringing
my philosophy requires no real thinking
it is what it is
