Day: June 30, 2021

Sunshine poured down on
The wild flowers growing
Our of the grass on a knoll
Near an adjacent woods
It was a reverent scene
And called your attention
To the wonder of nature
Slowly the sun vanished
And was replaced by a mist
Which soon became darker
Gray clouds accompanied
By thunder, but no lightning
One could not see the horizon
The previous uplift turned to
A feeling of listlessness
I remember reading 
About kindness and thought
We must react positively to
All situations in life
Everything is not always 
Going to go our way, but
To become downcast or
Pretend that you are a victim 
Is a foolish thing, especially
When forgiveness and kindness
Replenish the soul with
Gladness and peace
In our interaction with people
The same truths hold worthy
We should respond with
A good nature when offended
To become angry and vengeful
Is foolish and takes us down
The opposite is like the
Morning sunshine giving us
Surprises so unexpected
A wonder and a wonderful
Way to live our lives
