About This Author
 Writing poetry allows me to exercise my imagination and share it with others. I strive to write for the benefit of the reader using carnival fun mirror images of my life's experiences.

I wake up slow feeling tired and lazy, My wife's up feeling fresh as a daisy, We split an orange as a breakfast treat, I hope for a cool day, she loves the heat. It's the weekend so to the park we go, Taking our two puppy dogs for a stroll, As we blithely walk hand in hand I thought, To thank the Lord for everything we've got. Now I'm just a human trying his best, I bow to temptation just like the rest, Often I'm one of the unhappy lot, That fail to appreciate what we've got. Different opinions I appreciate, But with riots, looting, violence, hate, I worriedly wonder, "What have we wrought?" Then thank the Lord for everything we've got. I thank the Lord for the freshening rain, I thank the Lord and try not to complain, I offer this heavenly food for thought, And thank the Lord for everything we've got. 20 Lines
