The view from the
Top floor is always
Breathtaking. The
Elevator sends us
Up at a dizzying
Speed. The view
Makes the street
Level look like an
Ant colony. An
Occasional cloud
Drifts by the
window.

Smile
When a person is happy
They smile. Smiles are
Easy to spread–other
People want to smile
Back when they see you
Smile. Like the sun,
Smiles light up the day!
Gravity
If the earth stopped rotating,
There would be no more gravity.
Every thing and every body
Would start floating around
End over end. Panic would
Break out. Those lucky enough
To float near a tree would
Grab a branch and hold on
For dear life.
Every Cat
Every cat needs attention
Even though they act
Standoffish. They will
Sit and stare at you for
Minutes at a time and
When you reach down
To pet them they swat
At you. But when they
Want something they’ll
Rub against your leg
And purr.
Sundays
The perfect day of the
Week for relaxing and
Kicking back and just
Doing what you want
To do, or nothing at
All, is Sunday.
Yardwork, or anything
That begins with work
Is off limits.
Doing nothing is top
Priority. Have some
Fun.
Hollywood
Everyone thinks of
Hollywood as a far
Away magical place,
Like the land of oz.
They regard actors
And actresses like
Greek gods. But we
Find out in the end
That they are human
Like the rest of us.
Hardship
Life is full of hardships.
We have to do our best.
Fortune will smile on
Those best prepared to
Deal with adversity.
Closer to Heaven
Heaven can be on earth when
The strong helps the weak, a
Favor is done for someone
Without expecting payment.
The more good that is done
Around the world, the closer
Heaven surrounds us.
Understanding
It is vital to have understanding
In all human interactions. Without
It there would be conflicts, fighting,
And yelling. Human suffering comes
From lack of understanding, when
There could be loving times.
The Archer
The archer stands at the edge
Of the forest looking out over
The field. The wind is blowing,
The birds are taking off from
The fields. A deer stands within
Range. But it’s not game he’s
Looking for, he’s looking for
His lost love.
