| THEY DEMAND IT/SOME FALL THOUGHTS |
|
|
| Walking the dogs this morning. |
| I looked over at the mountains |
| wearing their Autumn clothes |
| reds, oranges and gold - |
| and wondered: Who knows |
|
|
| when their time on Earth |
| is coming to an end - |
| Be forgiving when you can, |
| and be kind to each Friend. |
|
|
| Take the time to look |
| at small things; shadows, and |
| leaves and such |
| Don't look down; Look Up! |
| Smile and upright stand - |
| there is so very much |
| Out there that you can still see |
| the colors of the world |
| and the world is never bland |
|
|
| When you think something is right |
| Quietly make your stand - |
| Speak an encouraging |
| word, when one is due - |
| Give a smile to someone else - |
| Do what you wish |
| they would do for you...... |
|
|
| Look around! Just because |
| you CAN! |
| Many a soldier |
| has died too young |
| but many will |
| live to be old......... |
|
|
| Live today for today -
|
| so that when you go |
| to bed tonight - |
| You have left, behind you, |
| some small light......... |
|
|
| Live your life. It is |
| all you have - |
| And this poem? |
| I hope you understand it....... |
|
|
| Those who have gone |
| beyond us, wish us Life - |
| In fact, |
| they demand it. |
