The Best

I may not be the best

I may not be better

Than many others

Doing the same as me


But here I am

Around

Until I'm not


Somewhere

That might exist

Or it might not

We'll see


For not I'm here

Doing what I can

Being positive

And trying my best


There might not

Be any different

Here is good

Enough

Picking Berries In The Wild

The absolute height of summer vacation as kids Was the two weeks of berry season by my house Our parents would take me and my sister around the yard And up and down the gravel road, but not into anyone else's yard The berries were planted there long ago by someone At least, that's what dad always said Ripe berries were easy to spot, they were full black with no red spots Green usually meant the season hadn't started yet It was easy to pick all the berries that were low and in the front But most of them were at the top or on the underside of the bush And this meant prickers had to be handled very carefully Or you'd get cut up pretty bad, especially if you traveled to the center of a bush We'd pick just enough to eat that day Sometimes we'd freeze a bag for later Or give some to gramma to make a pie Her pies were the sweetest summer treat!

The Gazebo Out Front

This morning After driving to work I had to check to make sure I still had the gas cap for my car I could have forgotten it at the gas station last night But I did not I could have forgotten I'm glad I know The small, dirty white gazebo out front Is actually a bus stop for the handicapped and elderly With slightly peeling paint and small pumpkins on the rails That some local children left there for the holiday season I've finished With what I have to do I made the decision, put in the work, and completed my tasks What's left now it waiting Enjoyment Knowing that I will have to hold on I may be asked to prove myself To back it up At some point Once or twice But through strength and determination I shall prevail I am good with what I have done And where I currently stand The future will be amazing and wonderful My choices will make this so My deeds and actions will show Through goodness And grandiose of action I stand proud It's under the shade of a boisterous spruce tree...

Just A Small Church Street

Stuffed full of joy Glowing at the seams Absolutely spirited and content At the crack of dawn Wisped away in the blistering cold The most important thing to remember Is to take action Get wrapped up and roll around on the ground in good cheer Tomorrow can wait Dishes, laundry, dusting, even the trash Today we need to be present And enjoy every moment to the fullest Laugh and sing and sip a hot drink Tomorrow comes soon enough Just like it does every year It lets you drive straight from one end of town to the other Without going through the hassle of the center of town It's paved the whole way, but none of the side roads are And only a few of the driveways are From the beating core To the tingling finger tips From the loose and falling hair To the tight legs and center Life is an odyssey Sometimes strange sometimes lost Boring True strength completes me It has the determination Slow starts And long-winded finishes We have the screeching focus And silent meditation What it takes to s...
