Those who are organized
Are just driven crazy
By those they find lazy
And do not care
Perhaps they are jealous
Looks can be deceiving
Everyone believing
They know better

Over the years, she’s changed
Hair has silver sprinkles
Skin has folds and wrinkles
She’s shrunk an inch
But underneath it all
Her eyes are still quite blue
Her heart is ever true
She loves to laugh

Casually, she glanced
Once, over her shoulder
Wishing she were bolder
Holding her breath
Moving forward a must
Leaving the old behind
With news dreams in her mind
Take baby steps

we are not cursed with pain
we are blessed with the chance
to learn to dance the dance
of the healer
to turn off suffering
wiith knowledge, we once knew
methods ancient, tried, true
plying the craft

So, we waited all-day
Under gloomy, grey skies
It came as no surprise
Gentle Spring rain
Flowers enjoyed a drink
Birds found their baths filling
Heavy clouds kept spilling
Puddles forming
