It is hard to understand
Negativity when there is
So many possibilities
We see pandering
The hope for recognition
When in reality
It doesn’t matter
Accomplishments should 
Be taken in stride
No need for a parade
But some feel the need
For celebration and
Acknowledgement on
Every little thing
This is very tiresome
Life is busy enough
Without having to bow
At every little thing
Make some noise
Bring on the band
The parade is awesome
Too bad it’s raining
Maybe tomorrow
Right now
I am tired
I’m fighting fatigue
Weeds are growing
Faster than flowers
Where are the heroes
Bring them over
If everyone helped
I could have it finished
Too much to hope for
Those who bloviate
Are too busy to help
Just want acclaim
Won’t get it from me
No chicken dinner either
I’ll eat alone and tell myself
How good it is

Poetry can be a prayer
A delight in nature
So many things possible
To express the Hand of God
So mysterious
One wonders why certain things
Happen in the order they do
A problem is solved and
Anxiety ceases; we go on
Without a second thought
An undesired delay prevents
An accident; we are never
Aware of this phenomena 
Helping others in an
Unexpected way can change
The person’s outlook on life
It is in the little things, many
Of which remain unknown, that
Make up the essence of our being
Love one another is the message
Of the One who is the Light
Somehow the light gets in
And we feel the peace He brings
In our world of chaos 
We find calm in Him
To not know Him or to
Deny Him would be sad or foolish
Without Him we are nothing
He is the golden ring which
We do not have to reach for
Because He is always with us
How great is that we think as
We sing out with appreciation
How great Thou art
