Change!

It can not be received 
      through sugar and spice...

    Or life's addictive pleasures
     by rolling the dice...

    Change is ours so take control
     make that change look to your soul...

    Relax your body and your mind
      look to your heart you may find...

    That feeling of happiness we lost on a bet
      let go of the past and all regret...

                                     Peter K

Peter, I hope you don't mind me saying that we seem to see things from a similar point of view. We DO have to take control if we want to improve our chances for happiness. Excellent poem. I'm enjoying your work very much. Best wishes, Carolyn

Nice. I completely agree-a very healthy attitude. And, thank you for your kind words on my poem about my mother. It is her 68th Birthday today!-We both cried together reading what I wrote for her, it was one of those moments that take your breath away.
