KEYED-IN

Approach life wholeheartedly
Each new day in such peace
Where it counts but inwardly
Where it should never cease

Approach life pure and simple
Key to every understanding
Of fine taste; of equal example
Only so justly be demanding

REFRACTION

Do you give generously as you received
Whether of knowledge, cash or kind
And when you do what do you retrieve
How do you go about of such; remind

Do you give generously as did receive
But only to discover but not apt to
Witty schemes and plots ill conceived
Only to those remain loyal and true

THE REAL DEAL

What if someone loved you dearly for years
And of such love totally unsuspecting
Nothing of any clue or would you prepare
Even of all given when not expecting

How would you act upon such a discovery
Surrounded by all lovingly, freely given
How aptly in such a beautiful embroidery
Where realizing is but the one condition

THE RIDE

Life compared to a roller coaster ride
Is railroaded with no accelerator or brake
In thrill or in fear must in either, abide
With it go along; its dynamics but forsake

Life’s metaphorical roller coaster ride
Must be endured until it; to its own end
Its ups and downs: Of circuit comprised
What behaviorally real; how we pretend

LIFE’S SCHOOL

Honest living offers the best education
Provided it’s approached scholarly
Provided it’s examined for emancipation
Its findings accepted as eagerly

Honest living provides the best advice
Provided the pertinent is asked
Provided only the best would suffice
With being best but always tasked
