"Lighten up shut up get on with it go / Our life will be over before we know"


Poem Artwork

Red Apple

 

This seems a good day in which not to talk

A day in which to rise above the noise

One in which to think to wonder to walk

To ruminate to celebrate small joys

Of solitude in quiet gratitude

Reflecting clearly free of attitude

 

An inventory day of taking stock

People argue nature acts: just the facts

While armchair quarterbacks grope and grapple

While irrelevant idiots natter

 

I am going to eat a red apple

 

What those talking heads say does not matter

Nor are their minds functional anyway

All I would say on this beautiful day

Is they should struggle less and snuggle more

I wonder if they know what life is for

It is to be enjoyed and not destroyed

 

Lighten up shut up get on with it go

Our life will be over before we know

Steve I think you outdid yourself again. This is very good advice for all of us, and I hope people like me can follow that advice in our everyday plans. Thnx brother for sharing this very clever piece which says to me..."wake up girl, your brother loves you to give you this advice." I have posted a new poem also brother. I think you will like it, but it is sad, and it is painful. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, stubborn to a fault, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WARM & WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little still terrified sister, Barbie
