this note’s not just in passing
it has a need to staid
the folks that run
the world I live
want work but
give no pay

there’s words and thoughts I’m having
to eat most every day
to guide my lovely children
past traps laid in their way

If the world would just stand still
to see each other’s plights
then move again in unison
momentum won’t be slight

the business of the parent
may be eased a bit
when corporations think
for once
instead of forcing _ _ its

to bless the sickly person
with hope by researching more
to build a place
that heals with grace
led to the wellness shore

but as the “Teacher” told us
there’s seasons gone and more
the instances that makes us “US”
is hated or adored

the list is largely simple
the quest to have no fear
completion of the tiny task
build FOR better “me”
this and all next years

to hold “my” perfect opposite
to have that so many friends
to get to understanding
to borrow less than lend
to see that much clearer
to feel a love demanding
to walk the cliff less shearer
to be the best composite
