Recently, I’ve
pondered on
A curious
phenomenon
As we acquire more
and more
We find less to be
thankful for
My iPhone 5 is
really great
I wish that it was
up to date
Somehow I feel that
I deserve
To own a
flat-screen with a curve
Or get what’s
bigger, faster, better
Oh how I need
another sweater!
That’s why I think
in each November
We pause a moment
to remember
How, with each
breath our blessings mount
And how we should
our blessings count
And in that moment
of reflection
Resolve to seek a
new direction
Before we face
another Fall
To do our best and
give our all
That by our labors
and our arts
We upgrade what’s
within our hearts
Oh Lord, allow to
be renewed
Our undiminished
gratitude
To cherish life
each time we pray
On this and every
other day
Please remember that the best stocking stuffer for the
poetry lover in your life is
“It Only Hurts When I Rhyme” (Tarzana Joe,
collected!) It is available in paperback
from xlibris and in print or Kindle version from amazon.
