We want this We want that The weather is something We want it to be nice Aren’t we human? That’s what humans do We also rise above We are into acceptance As well as thankfulness When things don’t go our way We take what is given Do the best we can with our circumstance And are happy for the opportunity The stargazer tells us to Keep looking up Our own spirituality evokes The waving of the same banner We keep looking up although Sometimes our head is bent in thanksgiving We are grateful for life itself The precious gift Now we may be lamenting How did this condition come about? Will there be an end to it? Are we made for this? How about the Hattians, with no food or water? What about the starving Nigerian refugees? Were they made for their suffering Many questions without answers Who do we turn to? Is there any help we can provide? Not everything stated is the truth What are the facts? Now we are lost sheep Looking for a shepherd That is what humans do We lead or are led Stanski April 7, 2020 ^

NIGHT TALK
It’s three in the morning No one up but me I’m not alone though At least not in my mind Peaceful and content I think about the day past And the one almost at hand Savoring all the goodness I find While looking forward to more Don’t overlook the struggles That’s part of life, too No music is playing Quiet is all right for now The clock speaking tick-tock Admonishes me Get to bed; get your rest When you’re refreshed, you’re at your best All so true, but then I would miss this opportunity For quiet and thought Plants grow and live alone They do all right and seem content I talk to them and learn, too No one knows what’s best for you Or cares, really, what you do We all have a program If you’re willing to pay You can have your name on it Coffee will still cost two dollars a cup Refills free Stanski April 6, 2020 ^
