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.

Air-Conditioning
We all love our air-conditioning.
When it stops working, we break
Out in a sweat. We call someone
To fix it. And we drink cold drinks,
Eat ice cream, whatever it takes
To get cool. God bless the
Repairman.
Circular Question
How does a hypnotist not
Hypnotize himself? When
He hypnotizes someone
Else, is he sure he’s not
Doing the same thing to
Himself?
Snow Cone
Someone just popped
Their head in the door
And asked me if I wanted
A rainbow snow cone.
Really now.
Thanks
Everybody wants to be
Thanked when they do
Something good for
Someone else. Or if they
Have worked hard at
Something and finally
Achieved their goal.
Giving thanks is more
Important to the person
Than a monetary reward.
Declaration
If I could make someone
Else feel seen, feel safe
For a brief moment, feel
A little less alone, I would
Have accomplished my
Goal as a poet.
The Well
When we were teenagers
It was a custom to go to
Some abandoned property
Where there was a well.
We would drop a coin in
And make a wish. The
Funny thing was you
Wouldn’t hear the coin
Hit the bottom. Once
Someone thought they
Heard a voice deep
Down in the well
Saying help me, help
Me. A professional at
Rescuing people in
These situations threw
A rope over the side
And went down. He
Was never seen again.
Flash in the Sky
It’s not often that a bright
Enough light in the sky in
The daytime catches your
Attention. But this one did.
It was like someone took a
Picture of the earth using
A flash camera that lit up
The world. Nobody knows
Where it came from or who
Did it. We can only hope
They like us.
Horses
Horses have been around
Far longer than humans.
These magnificent creatures
Are loved by everyone, by
Children especially. Their
Gentle natures don’t hide
Their awesome strength.
It is rare to find someone
Who doesn’t love horses.
