  • Open Hands

    It's the second triolet I've written, a form I first came across and learned through the work Ann Stevenson. Thanks for reading.

    I won't clasp my hands on all I can get,
    I open them, Lord, for what you choose to give.
    To receive Your gifts brings no regret,
    I won't clasp my hands on all I can get,

    It's more like a credo, something I tend to see in those that I really admire and seem to share with those closest to me. Thank you for reading.

    I don't mind accolades
    freely passed on my way,
    I'll take encouragement
    gladly, any given day.

  • The Smartphone

    I was looking at my handheld and wondering just how much the world has changed because of smartphones. I wrote this for leisure.

    A sleek and smart device,
    Is taking everything out.
    Little things and big things,
    It's looking more like a rout.

    in Life Lesson Poems

    Striving daily for progress,
    Learning a paradox too --
    That it's not always forward movement;
    Sometimes, the reverse will do.

Wow, true-to-life and relatable. I guess we've all been there, that particular point in time when there seems to be less clarity. Perhaps, it has something to do with us trying to carve our own paths in life when there is but One Way. I find it helpful to pray, be patient, and find my strength in God. It's such a lovely poem; you really have a gift. And I must say, that unique piece you penned - "To be happy," is truly beautiful.
