World Environment Day

It's World Environment Day,
It's the day to learn about Earth's environment
And find a way
To improve it or,
At the very least,
Accept Global Warming
As a scientifically proven fact.

I Contemplate Love: A Poem
I contemplate love,
The love God shed upon the world
When he sent His Divine Physicians
To minister to humanity.

I contemplate the Divine Love
Shed upon the human race
By Buddha,
By Muhammad,
By Christ,
By the Bab,
By Baha'u'llah,
By all the Divine Physicians
Sent into the world
To heal our wounded souls.

I pray
For those who,
For what ever reason,
Spread hate.

I pray
That all humanity
Will see love's golden ray
Uniting the religions
Of humankind.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!
Please take a moment to pray
For all those fathers and grandfathers
Who have passed away.

Happy Father Day!
Take a few minutes to say
Thank you to those fathers
And father figures
Who are still with us.

Living in the Twenty-first Century

At 70-years young,
I'm finally moving into
The Twenty-first Century.

Yesterday,
While at one of my doctors' offices,
I downloaded an app
To my smartphone.

This wonderful little app,
Called Easy Pedometer,
Counts my steps.

The goal is
1,000 steps per day,
And I'm already
Up to 605 steps.

Tomorrow,
I may have to double
The goal.

Motivational Monday or Lost Monday

Motivational Monday
Or was it a lost Monday
Somewhere in between

Summer in Las Vegas
Summer is here,
It is the heat we fear,
As triple digit temperatures rise.

The homeless now swelter,
As they look for shelter,
From deadly triple digit temperatures.
