TIME OUT
Today’s rat race is full
Of obligations,
And definitely riddled with
Frustrations,
We all have to multifunction to
Keep up the pace,
So that we do not,
Have to lose face.
Guilty of not spending
Enough time,
With a multitude of things,
But this guilt in turn brings,
A restlessness that is difficult
To explain,
A feeling of not having
Accomplished or, of any gain.
All we do 24/7 is rush, rush and
More rush,
Perhaps what we need is an
Absolute flush,
Not of any serious issues, just of
Cleansing our racing brain,
Of situations you know, do not
Rest on your shoulders for blame,
I felt this compulsion to cleanse myself
Of not ever doing enough,
Perhaps I should place more
Trust in the Deity above,
For surely He above all others knows
How hard each of us tries,
To leave a legacy to our children,
Before, each of us dies.
I hope and almost challenge,
You all to do the same,
Slow down, enjoy life
Learn to enjoy its game,
Living is not all about strife!

Ma's Sudden Deterioration Broke My Heart
Pa
Ma kids
Papa died
Mama worked daily.
She grew old but still functioned.
Own-way and fighting for her own
Independence still and lived alone doing
All things shopping with Credit Cards, paying bills
Doing her own laundry, traveling to the doctors,
Up to four months ago until a Lucifer said God loves you not!
Then
Like Job
Faith is still tried,
What a blow in boils did
Lucifer gave,leaving off from
Being a son of light, now dwelling in
The darkest places just to catch you out of faith!
Chronic diseases need tender care, but Mama did
Not believe this was truly so and one day she was found,
With lack of multifunction in all areas of life and true living.
Waiting
Praying for
A miracle to have
As God wills, purposes
And plan, no man even owns himself
And what we may plan for another the Lord
May seem to do what ever it is he wants or allows
Man to do to his fellow man, as he watches from above
That each man may be accountable for his own misgivings,
Doing to others as he would like others to do unto him. Amen.

In ball form
This special object
Is divine
Cleans and heals
These multifunction fluff balls
Would be all you need
They take off
All of ones Make-up
Can apply
Medicine
To all cuts and open sores
These fluff balls are best
