A MOMENT OF INSIGHT

There are moments in life when we are called upon to do things we’ve never done before; to attempt things we have no expertise in; and it’s only us, no one to call, life line or expert panel, not even those in the full yellow page ad to save us; just us and the dilemma..........


In the end you are the one stuck with whatever decision you make. So do you relish the crazy insight and throw out everyone’s including your own lifetime of experience? You know the results of what will be if you take the road well advised and traveled… I suggest the grassy knoll of the narrow path, and then you won’t live the rest of your life in ‘what if’s’.

ONLY FOR A SEASON

Excerpt from ONLY FOR A SEASON

What do you do when your dream dies,
When falsely accused and everyone believes the lies?
When your reputation has been tarnished and stained,
When your credibility is destroyed, your name profaned?

Don’t dwell on your situation, pity yourself and cry;
Quit discussing what you wish would die!
can’t allow ourselves to let this tear us apart in all its commotion,
our testing ground is what qualifies us for promotion.

Trying to Please

Excerpt from Poem "Trying to Please"



Trying to please, I masquerade as someone else;
Am I ashamed of who I am, cannot be myself?
Why do we get consumed with what other people think?
To have fun or take the edge off some feel they have to drink.

Why do we get all wrapped up like that, I don’t think it’s just
To stake our whole life’s happiness on one made of dust.
