Short Darnedest Poems

There is no difference between black and white; 
just as there may be between day and night. 
We are all the same underneath the skin. 
Together, we make a team that will win. 
Remember, we are all in the same boat. 
We should try our darnedest to stay afloat.

When you’ve done your darnedest trying
And it all goes well,
Then you’re up on Cloud 9, flying,

Gives you more to treasure.

Too bad every day can’t boast
A matching dose of magic.
Maybe we’d be so engrossed
We’d rise above the tragic.

Since that cannot be, I guess
I’ll spend today defying
Whoever won’t let me express
The joy that got me flying....

Sticky handprints on my door
Muddy truck tracks across my floor
Laundry piling up galore
Imperfect photos for decor

Neatly cut corners on sandwich bread
These are the thoughts occupying my head

Watching as my babies grow
Learning things, they didn't know
Tossing a ball to and fro
Wishing time would go so slow
The candle of my life, I dare not blow...
