Rainy Day Reflection

A new river 
   rolls by prodded by 
visionaries
   Do you see them walking by 
while the rainbow taught us to walk? 
You 
shouldn't 
care
   what your enemies - or even your friends think
Get over it! and keep on creating
It will keep you alive!
A famous poet I know of 
ran a candy store for years
while writing ode, after ode, after ode 
He is a good example for us all!

how nice to own a candy store and just do the thing you love most in life. I try to be that way. Hope it is a good way to be, though sometimes maybe I think I am selfish by enjoying life so much!!
