Respect for
You
Respect for
Me
For all things
Living
Land to
Sea
Integrity
To
Do what’s
Right
Through
Life’s travails
Day and
Night
A
Healthy dose
Of
Responsibility
Tempered
By
A bit of
Levity
Compassion
And kindness
Light the
Way
If in
Our hearts
Forever
Stay
A basic
Tonic
Fits the
Bill
Ameliorating
Many of
Our
Ills
What’s
New
To you
May be
Old
To me
In the
Eye
Of the
Beholder
Lies
Novelty
Most
Fortunate
Of all
Are
Those who
Find
Newness
In the
Familiar
Time after
Time
Memories linger
Well
After the
Fact
A way to
Revisit
Occasions long
Past
Emotions and
Places
Come flooding
Back
Caught in the
Mind’s-eye
Then gone in a
Flash
Can’t seem to find your way?
Be present in the day
World in disarray?
Be present in the day
Minutes slipping away?
Be present in the day
Untold pipers to pay?
Be present in the day
Fair hair turning gray?
Be present in the day
No time left to play?
Be present in the day
Nature bids you stay
Be present in the day
Overhead soars Jay
Be present in the day
Sunset casts its rays
Be present in the day
Ocean kisses bay
Be present in the day
Seize onto life you may
Be present in the day
Before death has its way
Be present in the day
A
Footrace
With time
We all
Run
Our date
Of
Birth
The starting
Gun
Against
Each
Rise and
Setting
Sun
Immersed
In
Work
And daily
Fun
The
Dream to
Stay
Forever
Young
A
Fool’s quest
Never
To be
Won
Time
Victorious
Life
Is
Done
Those who
Toil
In obscurity
Shunning
The
Limelight
As
A matter
Of
Course
Often
Most deserve
To
Bask in
Its
Glow
We look
But
Do not
See
Hear
But
Do not
Listen
Touch
But
Do not
Feel
Taste
But
Do not
Savor
Walk
Right by
The
Roses
Integrated
Woven
Tight
Every stitch
In place
Just
Right
Starry night
And
Sunshine
Bright
Basking in
Life-giving
Light
Textures, colors
That
Delight
Nature’s tapestry
Unmatched
Sight
Set
A
Precedent
Today
Spread some
Sunshine
Show the
Way
A word of
Kindness
Others
Pay
Sadness
Briefly keep
At
Bay
A ray of
Hope
Left behind to
Stay
To
Toys
Buried in
