Staying positive, never knowing, when I will truly know my purpose, or when I will live the best day of this life...I love writing poems, I don't follow any of the list or types of poetry, I write the way I think and feel honesty. I'll keep writing, as long as the words come out of my pencil.. July 2021 Ginger my mom & dad's old lab dog passed, my last attachment to our family, now I plan to do some traveling in my RV, see what the future, has for me to see...while I share the energy inside of me
When you want, something new in your life,
You must be open, to change,
You can't' just rely on others,
To follow, and rearrange.

Think about those worms, that wiggle through the land,
they loosen up the soil, so the roots of plants, can expand,
Those plants give off oxygen, to support life on this earth each day,
...
We use to be close, always together,
Shared good times, and helped each other, through bad weather.
There were few days, you would see us apart,
We had a friendship that connected, right from the start.

Under the light blue morning sky,
in the wood's, I can pick out the oak trees,
Their leaves, brown, always last to fall,
As I turn my neck, two deer walk by.
...
I stare at the white ice crystals,
As they fall, so peacefully to the ground,
They travel so far, floating free,
When they land, never making a sound.
