Skip down the sidewalk.
Make sure your neighbors
See you doing it.
Observe Red Rubber Nose
Day. Tell corny jokes on
Purpose. Tell serious people
It takes fewer muscles to
Smile than it does to
Frown. Feed a squirrel.

Love
Love is in everything
That builds up, not
Tears down. It accepts
All of the person, the
Flaws as well as the
Good points. This is
What makes love love.
It’s the most powerful
Force in the universe.
Like the great teacher
Said, love the person
Next to you as yourself.
Happy Puppy
There is nothing like a puppy
To brighten up your day,
Especially a happy one. They
Jump up and down when they
See you and that wet tongue
Goes to town. To avoid getting
A bath with his tongue you
Distract him by throwing
Him his favorite toy. Dogs
Don’t know why they are
Happy, they just are.
Birds
On a windy spring day
Many things are blowing
Through the air, newspapers,
Small birds, dust, and feathers.
Birds grow feathers to replace
The ones they lost to continue
To make the sky their kingdom
What I Found
One day I was walking
Down a country road
And happened upon
A deserted ramshackle
House that looked like it
Had not been lived in
For a long time
My curiosity got the
Better of me and I
Waded through the
Weeds to the front door
And entered the house
I went to a room I guessed
Was a bedroom and opened
A drawer of a chest
In it was a paper that had
Written on it: Be kind
Helicopters
Throughout the day
Helicopters fly
Overhead
Some sound like
They are flying
Low
They beat the air
And are gone
Where are they
From and where
Are they going?
It is a mystery.
Time
Fellow passenger
Be easy on yourself
And me also
So we can live
Whatever time
Is left for us
Each day a gift
We do not take for
Granted
