WORK WILL WAIT

The day starts gray and cold
Few deer along my path
I make it into town
Attend the morning adoration and mass

Return home
Cross railroad tracks
Men working to install warning lights
Arrive home safely

Still gray and cloudy
Think of work to do
Not overly excited

Listen to Ray Price’s “Final Sessions”
He fills me up with his singing

The sun comes through the clouds
Snow covered ground lightens

I feel inspired
Decide to write
So easy
The decision
So difficult
The writing

I wish to uplift people
Spiritually and intellectually
All things are not easy
Everyone reacts differently

Then the question
Who am I
To strive to implore improvement?

Just a follower,
Who is aware of the Word
I know my pledge
Am aware of my duty

So I may say
Life, easy or difficult, has its purpose
We will never know for sure what it is

We do know what goodness and kindness are
These are great starting points, and
There is nothing wrong with
Hope, love, and understanding

I remember the warning lights
I know what they mean
Life is full of them
