If it makes you feel better hating someone like me
Are you truly in love with that reflection you see?
When you jog down that trail oblivious to nature galore
Is that workout missing a piece for your soul to restore?
When I hold open that door and you blithely walk by
No thank at all, “He failed kindergarten!”, I sigh
Plastic pollution in our oceans, what on earth were we thinking?
Air filling with poison, just reeking and stinking!
Thank goodness for all the doggies, pristine and so pure
Your free abundant therapy brings us such love for sure
Sweet children who reap joy from the simplicity of life
I wish for them a journey devoid of hardship and strife
Why are so many seniors brushed sadly away?
When their unique precious stories can teach us each day
Why do so many care what others do say
When just being genuine writes your most successful play!
Well the snippets in my brain will continue to meander
Thanks for your time and kindness………for in life there’s nothing grander!
