Expectations

The news is bleak:
The economy,
The housing crisis,
The elections,
The plight of homeless veterans
The war on drugs,
The war in Iraq and Afghanistan,
The need for improved health care,
The plea for quality education,
How do life’s dilemmas find resolve?
Its like,
we have to pick our battles,
Pick our poison,
You pays your money
and takes your choice…and it’s
all about battles fought, but wait!
What are our expectations?
Why does asking one question always lead to a dozen more?
I don’t know about you,
but for me,
I can only climb one mountain at a time.
I can only swim one river at a time.
I can only see today’s horizon,
to find where I should be.
One day, one battle, one need at a time.
That, then, is the expectation I have declared for me.

"...Why does asking one question lead to a dozen more?" Yes, it does.

So very true, my friend; one battle at a time. I just wish I could win some of mine.

second, yes one step at a time
third, i believe there are those who will in time make a difference and we will see change
and fourth, concentrate on what is right about it
Now, where's the rally behind you and what you want to see done?
Each battle can be won if only we didn't want everyone to go about it OUR way. Giving in for the good of the oppressed, or the things that's wrong, is the hardest thing we try. Let's all work on that.... and get things done! Good writing ! - Bill
Thanks for sharing
Always, Myrna
Much peace, love, and light,
