Threat Assessment

Not everyone who sees a “Wolf” is really in much danger For lone wolves are quite shy and only show a woodsy face Not everyone who feels alone is really such a stranger To friends that seem to ‘disappear’ at times without a trace. It’s just at times life does intrude upsetting normal balance Perhaps to focus on one friend for happiness not fair Demanding where our strokes come from a useless form of parlance And more joy found if we can trust what nature has to share. For God has better things to do than spill what’s in your basket And trusting that your friends still care could be the wisest move To fume at what you can’t control in fact could blow a gasket And trusting in herself is just how ‘Stella found her groove.’ Brian Johnston February 27, 2015
