I never knew her as a big talker,
but to me, she was a very keen
observer and one great listener.
I have always remembered the 8 words
she said when sending us to the store.
She’d say, “Go in a haste; come in a pace”.
As a kid at the time, I never questioned what
she meant by those words. Like my siblings,
I simply listened to her, and away I went.
I didn’t know if she was trying to be poetic
or encouraging us to get the job done quickly.
But now I know that she was a great teacher.
To me, those 8 words have taught me lessons
in life. I have always heard that “Haste makes waste”
So, Grandma wasn’t telling us to hurry up.
In my departure, she was saying, "Get on with it; get it done”. And upon my return, she was saying, “Have a sense of order and precision as you return”.
I must say that as I look back over my life, I can say,
Thank you, Grandma, I did what you said in the way
you told me to. I had the initiative to pursue my
dreams; and with a sense of timing, order, and
organization, I got things done”.

A brand new year has just begun, new page,
sheet one of twelve to see upon the wall.
It cleanly hangs, no scribbles, signs of age:
a fresh new start; a slate wiped clean of scrawl.
A time to breathe, set plans both big and small.
This year will grant new days to get things done:
our gift of time; no rush, for haste makes waste.
Still, days will pass unused and one by one,
the pages fly right off the wall replaced
by some regrets, no challenges were faced.
Yet, we will see Earth’s seasons come and go
and feel the surge of Spring’s rebirthing rite,
the Summer sun and flowers, Autumn's glow,
then winter's wonderland of snow so white.
This year... our brand new gift of life’s delight.

A quoted warning tells us, “haste makes waste.”
Perhaps not so- denied by nature's sway.
Life spontaneity survives post-haste;
on this, God-given souls likewise convey.
Our inner selves are fashioned to express
impulsiveness to grasp life and to share.
No time to pause and study, then digress;
must implement its joys with timely care.
So, in-the-moment action follows through
when partnered with the heart to lead the mind;
as when a child gifts dandelions to you-
picked quickly from the lawn with love assigned.
And so, forethought oft kills that magic spell-
which acts of spontaneity impel.
I am carrying this heavy burden around it feels like something is going to crash and burn, the rocket in the sky will collapse and die and the missiles will explode when you empty the heavy load.
This terrible feelings in my stomach just won’t go away, NASA must check its projects that are on the way, the sky in the heavens is getting dark and a new age is about to start.
I am carrying this heavy burden around and it really makes me want to frown, space X explodes in mid- air and some of mankind’s invention you ought to fear.
You have to examine the dipstick, pressure riser and the water cooler, the front and back engine load and the valve that open in the rocket throat.
Haste makes waste they say, you have to examine every particle in the engine line and if your bet is good as mine you will find a chip stuck inside.
I am carrying this heavy burden inside; I know that the spirit is divine, I can see things that you cannot see, and I have been to places that you have not been without leaving my confined space.
I have opened my heart to let you in and you have punctured it with your folly tricks. I have nothing but sincerity in my heart and I have never doubted you from the start.
When I make a choice, I know that it carries a heavy price, but I always hold onto it because there is nothing better that can fit.
When the ocean rise above the roof and you don’t have anything left to prove, your choice will see you through and the long-awaited dream will come through.
I am carrying this heavy burden around; it is the weight that you feel when life spin you around.
It is the feeling that you get when you run a marathon and you are almost out of breath and when you cross the finishing line you see them struggling behind and you realize that you have crossed over, but you are still running for destiny to win but you have already won.
It is not the Monday morning blue or someone wearing a strange pair of shoes. It is the wagon on the wheels and mercenaries hiding under a shield.
It is the desert clown and the presepit underground and the petrified people seal up inside waiting to come out dead or alive.
When you get those people home this weight will finally drown. I have heavy feelings inside come and sit beside me before I die.

Among so many rocks and leafs
As well as animals that squawk or squeak
Talk is cheap
Many things considered a dime a dozen
Like limes and onions
You're either with or against the clock
Whether it is continually making sense or not
At times it can all truly
Be quite the doozy
Frustrated with seeing cruelty
And people acting unruly
Along the way
Is it wrong to say?
Every dog has it's day
They can make glass from sand
So much became a flash in the pan
Whether or not there ended up being any cash in hand
With my own flesh and blood
I express my love
While I step and trudge
Through different depths of mud
Haste makes waste
Across this place in space
You may or may not have your while life ahead of you
Just remember idle hands are the devil's tools
Near and far from special sentimental jewels
Realize there have been many kinds of metals used
Near and far from different sea levels and pools
The outcome may have been preventable
If such things weren't placed on a pedestal
