We All Fall Down

We all fall down
We don't have to get up right away,
But there's now use staying forever
On the ground.

We all fall down
Say a prayer for forgiveness
And then push or pull yourself up.

We all fall down
So while you're down there
Look around
Is there something you can pick up?

We all fall down
Do you see someone else
Struggling to get up?

We all fall down
Don't just sit there looking around
Find someone else
To help up.

Friday Contemplations

Friday
Contemplating forms of poetry,
Considering metaphors and similes
And wondering
If I should call my doctor
Or wait for her office to call me.

On Tuesday
I had an unltrasound
Of my legs;
The technician said
My doctor would receive
The results in two days.

It's been two days
The doctor should have received
The results by now,
but I'll give the office until Monday
Before making the call.

In the meantime
Walk twice a day,
Meditate,
Pray
And write.

The First Signs of Spring: A Poem

Spring beautiful spring
Sparrow and black birds sing
Their mating calls ring

Spring in Las Vegas
Temperatures rise
Watery eyes

Spring musical spring
Pigeons nest in palms
Sparrow in pines
Olive pollen flies
Across the city skies

Spring Limerick

There was a young woman named Spring,
Who was in love with a singer called Bing,
On a bright summer day,
She caught him with May,
Now Bing is unable to sing.

I Write With The Help of God

I write with the help of God
Stating my experiences and beliefs
As clearly as I am able
At any given moment.

I write with the help of God's Glory
Prayerfully attempting to say
What I understand
At any given moment.
