Past Peace And Grace

Looking in the past for the answer 

Will consume your life like cancer.

Some rocks are better left in place

Acceptance gifts the reward of grace.

All in your life has happened for reasons

Go with the flow, evolve like the seasons.

Past tragedies do not define

Lessons learned are sublime.

Look backwards with perspective not rage

Past events in life’s book are just a page.

Know what you want and proceed 

It’s not selfishness or even greed

It’s knowing what you will need 

So that your happiness can feed…

All Work and No Play…

People work themselves to death

Never ending daily grind

Tasking each and everything

Lest falling far behind in a major bind.

Starts at fifteen or sixteen

In their youth, little regard

Seeking out the greatest time

Not quite the effort for working very hard.

Time flies and the years rush by

Laziness will not abide

Learn the value of money

Then accomplishments, the wealth of healthy pride.

Scales now tipped another way

Work becomes out everything

As we mature we work hard

Security and prosperity, now king.

Those two extremes in our lives

Balance needed that’s the truth

Work and play must coexist

As my life and lessons, are the living proof…
