What you see
Is
What you
Get
A sure thing
On which
You can
Bet
Opinions worn
Out on
The
Sleeve
No rhetoric
Just
To
Appease
Look closely
You
Can see right
Through
Transparency
From me
To
You
It’s fun to reminisce about
And
Important to learn from
The past
But
The present eludes
And
The future is forfeited by
Those who choose to
Live there
We each are
Famous
In our
Way
If to
Our essence
We do
Stay
With unique
Talents
To be
Laid
On the line
Each and
Every
Day
Our debt to
Self and
The world to
Pay
“I only went out
for a walk
and
finally concluded
to stay out
until sundown
for
going out
I found
was really
going in.”
-John Muir-
Immerse yourself
In
Beauty
Every single
Day
The dividends to
Be gained
Your
Happiness to
Pay
Round and round
Sliding
Down
Birthday fun
For all was
Found
The years race by
At speed of
Light
Frozen in time
A child’s
Delight
Life is about
Creating shared history
With other people
Weaving a thread
Of common experience
Year after year
Until a blanket
Of mutual comfort
Wraps you
In a friendship
So close
Either person
Can at any time
Pick right up
Where last you left off
Without missing a beat
Shiny new
Luster
Away does
Erode
Once old
Patina
Continues to
Grow
