The first poem is carried over from last week
The second and third poems are from my archives
SOMEONE ELSE’S SHOES
I CANNOT WALK
IN OTHERS SHOES
BUT IF I COULD
I’D HAVE TO CHOOSE
THE WAY THAT THEY
WOULD WALK THROUGH LIFE
AND HOPE MY STEPS
WOULD MAKE THINGS RIGHT
NOT ON A PATH
THAT’S FILLED WITH GREED
BUT ONE WITH HOPE
THAT I’LL SUCCEED
TO BRING SOME LOVE
BOTH NIGHT AND DAY
AND SPREAD GODS LIGHT
UPON MY WAY
FOR IN EACH STEP
AS I PROCEED I’LL GEL IN MAN
THAT THERE’S A NEED
TO DANCE IN TIME WITH NATURE
SLEEPING DAY
SLOWLY SLOWLY DOES SHE BREATHE
WITH CHANGING CLOUDS SHE DOES DECEIVE
HER MOUNTAIN TOPS EMBRACE HER SKY
AS OCEANS CURRENTS ON HER DO SIGH
TWISTING TURNING OUT IN SPACE
HER COSMIC PATH SHE DOES TRACE
A SILENT HAND KEEPS HER FROM HARM
AS THROUGH EACH EON SHE DOES CHARM
FOR DAY AND NIGHT ARE BUT THE SAME
AND YEAR ON YEAR NO ONE CAN CLAIM
SHE HAS A SLEEPING DAY
THE GIFT OF SLEEP
THE CLOUDS DENSE UP
HERALDING THE NIGHT
THE TREES ARE STILL
IN MAJESTIC HEIGHT
A CANDLE GLOWS
ITS LIGHT INTO THE DARK
ALL ARE READY FOR SLEEP
LITTLE EYES DROOP
SLOWLY CLOSED
FORGETTING THE DAY
AND ALL IT’S FOES
GONE TO SLUMBER
PEACEFUL AND CALM
TO A PLACE
BEYOND ALARM
GOD’S LOVING ANGELS
GATHER ROUND
BLESSING OUR VERY NATURE
THEY CLEAR OUR MINDS
AND CLEANSE OUR SOULS
THEN TAKE OUR GUILT
ON WHICH WE HOLD
THEN FREE OUR SPIRIT
TO WANDER WIDE
AS WE DRIFT TOWARDS TOMORROW
Thoughts to Ponder – Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. – Steve Jobs
