A whole day ahead and we sit And figure who owes whom a letter Who had dinner last time and Who was rude and insisted That they were right and no one Had a chance to get in the last word This stuff happens and no harm Is meant and usually there is no jealousy No one really cares and life goes on Someone gets a new car or moves Into a new apartment and that is that Life keeps moving and just stay alive Down deep we reflect on ourselves We know how we are doing in The areas where it really counts Not letting people down when They need us the most, but standing By and offering that helping hand Sincerity is what really counts No one wants affirmation that is Not genuine or patronization We all look for the truth from friends We remember these incidents and Recall the worthiness of it all in our hearts I go to sleep; it’s been a happy day Wake up later wondering again What is important; not these insignificant Trivial things of life but how we helped The less fortunate about us or far away Are we doing anything or all that we can? There will be a day of reckoning and Even if there wasn’t we could ask ourselves What truly makes you happy and fills you Winning a game of cards or feeding the poor Helping those on the fringe or entertaining friends The answer is obvious and you sleep peacefully Stanski June 27, 2020 ^
