    It's sometimes hard to see
    How close a virtue and vice can be,
    Yet the borderline of the two
    Should we respect in all we do.

    • Published: May 29, 2023

    in Life Lesson Poems

    Striving daily for progress,
    Learning a paradox too --
    That it's not always forward movement;
    Sometimes, the reverse will do.

  • A Way To Give

    • Published: October 2019

    in Compassion Poems

    Focus on self only makes
    the world a dreary place to live.

    when you find a way to give.

    "Leave a gift for someone
    who won't find out it's from you."
    That is hitting the bull's eye of generosity, and it's fun.

    • Published: June 2020

    Strive at work while you can.
    God knows it's why you are a man,
    But don't wait till the funds abound
    Before you get to slow it down.

    A sleek and smart device,
    Is taking everything out.
    Little things and big things,
    It's looking more like a rout.

    If only
    We'd have helping hands that lead,
    Open arms accepting those in need,
    Not fingers pointing out misdeeds.
