Here are some scribbles from my cozy blanket. Hope my N.O. friends are inside, cozy, and warm. ANOTHER FREEZE TONITE... brrrrrrrrrr!! For so many years, Through elation and tears, I’ve let someone else set the pace. I’d run home as a child, To a house that was wild, For a scrimmage, a game, or a race. We’d eat, then we’d dash To some wrestling match, A play-off, a tourney, or a meeting. We’d scramble and scat, Hardly time for a chat, Let alone just a civilized greeting! Perpetual motion And constant commotion Was the way that our family ran. When tomorrow would come, We were off on the run, Just to rise up and hustle again. Now, don’t get me wrong… There are times that I long For that constant adrenaline rush. But I also have grown To enjoy time alone… To cherish the calm, and the hush. I now linger longer, My gratitude’s stronger… I savor each flavor I’m given. I scribble for hours, I smell all the flowers, And love that I’m no longer driven. Besides sweet reflection, I’ve acquired affection For each moment of time I’m given. As friends fly about, I’m tempted to shout: “Seize THIS moment! ~ Make THIS one worth living!” Despite all our grooming, To be constantly ZOOMING, I cherish my quiet times most. A chat with a friend, A meal at day’s end, A stroll thru the waves on the Coast. Reading e-mails from pals, Having wine with the gals, Being grateful for each holy hour, Writing love notes and rhymes, And remembering times I barely had time for a shower! I am loving this pace, To adore every face, Connecting with pals who get me, Who enjoy my affection, With no fear or deflection... Who hug ME rather than ‘let me’! And you know who you are, Whether near me or far, Who welcome my love, no doubt. But to some ~ love is strange! Still I choose not to change…Because loving is what I’m about! So I’m loving these days, And I’m learning new ways To tell special people they matter. I’ll dance every dance While I still have the chance! I’ll make time to cherish and flatter. I’m grateful to see Now who matters to me! I welcome the kindness they show. I will grow in their light, And will hope in their sight I’m a friend they feel lucky to know. Here’s to you who can SEE That our best legacy Is the laughter & love we’ve created. Any hope for the cynics Can’t be found in your clinics! Try LOVING as much as you hated. You’ll find in a minute The MAGIC that’s in it, And wonder what took you so long. You wasted time hating, While BLISS was awaiting! So smile, do a dance, sing a song! From the bottom of my heart, Thanks for being a part Of my journey to here from my birth! And I offer my love… To those here AND ABOVE Who offer me real Peace On Earth.
