If I . . .

by damommy

were to

listen to

the rumors I hear,

all gossip and none of them true,

I’d soon have no free time, and all else would disappear.

To sit and ponder what was told –

what a boring life -

would soon be

old stick,

just

sick.

Sick

I’d be

if I don’t

focus on good things.

Don’t pay attention to hocus,

but see butterflies, daffodils, and all birds that sing.

My days will be much happier

and much snappier.

Steer that way

today,

all

days.
