Thinking

~ ~ ~ 

I have been thinking.

In the Spring, I'm able to be outside more.

The colors of nature have arrived.

I like this time of year.

Even in the confusion of my life,

if I can figure things out,

I have a joy to each day.

One part of my time

is very happy.

Can't complain about any of it.

The other part, is terrible.

I don't like to dwell

on that too much.

Only when it reminds me.

Each day I make a list.

What am I going to try to do.

I make the best of what happens.

Don't we all ?

I've had a lot happen.

Mentally it does get to me.

I'm not close to perfect.

Not at all.

Only I do win the prize,

if there is one, for trying.

I keep on going no matter what.

That's got to count for something.

Don't Get It

~ ~ ~

Some things in life I just don't like.

Mean people.

Things they say.

If they thought later,

why wouldn't they run back

to tell that person 

they had done wrong

that they had made a mistake.

Like they should have been

taught as a child.

Or, was I the only one

taught to be kind.

To think and rethink

about your life.

I still to this day

and I'm old as can be

do not understand why

this happens.

Eveyone makes mistakes.

Has a lousy moment or life.

To not get it though.

To not realize that you should

always want to do better.

To be kind and polite.

I want to sit them down.

To talk to them.

To make them get it.

Only I don't get to.

So, I will always be bothered

by people and what they do and say.

Maybe that's why I don't do much

with them. 

People.

Only so much harsh words are 

aloud in my life.

I've had my quota.

No more.
