Shining Example

Sweet, Merry Wipe-Day

Born to be at your service

Lives up to her name

Smiling, she cleans the castle

Even leaves the floors gleaming

Samaras dancing

Maple trees are generous

Sapling soil seeded

Asking for a Friend

Oh, wicked, wicked food

Why do you tempt me so

I’ve weight needing to go

You’re everywhere

I plan for healthy meals

Then a friend says let’s eat

Hey, I deserve a treat

And I cave in

I might as well be friends

With the choices I make

Just one more bite to take

And buy new clothes

Curious Cumulus

Sit and ponder the clouds

Wonder where they’re going

If they could be knowing

You’re watching them

By Design

We all have the chance to

Make a life worth living

Of loving and giving

With every breath

Participation calls

Each time you roll the dice

From the cake, cut a slice

You’re in the game
