Sad Times

Grief
Tears flow
Regrets abound
Ask forgiveness

Choose Happiness

Smile
Lips curl
Eyes sparkle
Extend the feel

Grieve

Beloved sisters
Surprising, suddenly gone
Family feels lost
Shock waves to befuddled minds
Is this a god’s cosmic joke?

No Plans

life unpredicted
say your prayers if you believe
cling to the hopeful
somewhere over the rainbow
where colorful still exists

Attitude

live and love wildly
life can be seen a bummer
make it a party
roll with unpredictable
enjoy everything at will
