SECONDS

Take a few seconds right now to thank God for this very day. Take another few seconds to thank him for your life. Take only a few more seconds to say thank you for what he has done for you. There. You have said a prayer in less than a minute, taking no time out of your day!

WHAT DO WE SEE

As we aim for our goal, we must not climb the mountain all at once, going straight for the top. We need to follow the switchbacks, slowly leading us to where we need to go, seeing what is along the path on our journey. Reaching our destination, we will be exhilarated, not exhausted, filled with new wisdom, ready to share what we have learned with many.

THE OUTER COVERING

Human nature often has us judging someone by what we see. The blind look into an inner beauty of the individual, not caring about the outer covering. What wisdom. We are the ones with a handicap, creating our own obstacle, blocking what could be the best thing in the world from entering our lives.

AT THE MALL

I have lived in another time and place,
Now I think I must be in outer space!
There at the table sits a guy with purple hair,
My oh my, it is hard not to stare!s
There is the dad wearing the backwards cap,
Ignoring the daughter running around his lap.
He is sitting in one of those chairs that shake,
I want to say, “Look at her, for goodness sake!”
As the child now beats her hands to the floor,
All kinds of oddities are entering the store.
I wonder what is in that big backpack,
Let us hope she is not a kleptomaniac!
I believe I have seen enough for one day,
Where is the door, show me the way!

Entering the mall, I saw the purple hair, and my mind started spinning with this lyrical poem. I starting penning then and there. As I waited for my turn to get my new eye glasses a few minutes later, I finished up the poem. Never have I written something so quickly! MTM
