We make a list and then add it on to another list.
We then double check to be sure nothing is missed.
Calendars and “to do” s, we always have to coordinate.
Of course, you never want to miss an important date.
Write it on your calendar and then enter on your cell phone.
And all the changes when there’s a date you must postpone.
Check with the spouse to see if there is anything else to book.
Being careful that there is nothing you could possibly overlook.
In today’s automation, there’s an app to make this easy for you.
No more check and double check, just one and done, who knew?

Turning Point
Today, it seems like a good time to post something I wrote 7 years ago as we are all looking for a turning point in our current times.
Can you identify a turning point in your life?
Was it a celebration or time of great strife?
Was there a loss that still resides in your heart?
Was there a birth that puts joy in that same heart?
Were there words heard from years past,
With Solomon advice that will always last.
Were there life decisions that we or others made,
That paint pictures in your mind that will never fade.
Perhaps it was a special life discovery that you didn’t expect
It will create building blocks for a life to lead with great respect.
Are we ever aware of where that turning point may be?
That shapes our lives and determines our destiny.
Homebound Six
Getting out and everyone just can’t wait.
About the rules, there’s always a debate.
Dining out, something everyone wants to define.
Offers to eat out, yours to accept or decline.
And how many times do you wash your hands?
Wear your mask in stores, protocol demands.
Sports, teams ready to go, no fans in the stands.
The virus still here, who know where it lands.
May the prayers we offer still reach God’s ear.
May everyone look forward to a better year.
May the world understand what needs to be done.
And may everyone move forward and act as one.
Today’s Voices
Think about the voices that you can hear.
A lyrical sound that’s music in your ear.
Voices on TV repeating the daily news.
Voices everywhere sharing their views.
Some always bringing you good cheer.
Others know how to strike and stoke fear.
The news of death always brings you a tear.
Can’t wait for a certain DC voice to disappear.
Today’s voices say enough, shout and protest.
The signs continue to work and march with no rest.
The ails of today’s world needs miracles and cures.
Maybe the next voice that should be heard is yours.
Are There any Miracles Left?
And if God has any miracles left to share,
We pray for one until our soul is left bare.
And if God has that miracle, what can it be?
Can it be that all his people are really free?
And if God has that miracle, what’s your choice?
Hatred will be gone and never heard in any voice.
And if God has a miracle, what would you pray for?
For all to have the opportunity to open any door.
We pray for the body and soul to heal and be well.
Is there one more miracle that the future will foretell
The loving miracle that we need may already be here
Now, it’s up to all of us to make that miracle appear.
Dreams of What Could Be
Have you ever laid in bed and dreamed of what could be,
Have you ever dreamed of all the places you would like to see?
Have you ever dreamed of all the things you want to say.
Have you ever dreamed of all the sports you wanted to play.
Have you ever dreamed how you could enjoy a fresh spring.
Have you ever dreamed of a special song you want to sing.
Have you ever dreamed of a great karaoke performance?
Have you ever dreamed of holding your girl in a slow dance?
Have you ever dreamed of winning the Mega millions lottery?
Have you ever dreamed that those you love, could be worry free?
Have you ever dreamed of a bakery with so many pies to choose?
And then you dream of all the weight you would have to lose.
Dreams can become nightmares which appear so dark
Dreams can inspire and offer a creative spark.
Have you ever dreamed of a dreamless sleep?
Truly at peace with only good memories to keep
