The Ferris Wheel
There’s a most spectacular carnival ride;
an enormous wheel; turned on its end;
carrying passengers, on seating, inside;
rotating; allowing they rise and descend.
Upon their reaching its ultimate height;
they’re given a view of a world below;
it’s a most memorable, spectacular sight;
Growing Old
What takes place; as we grow old;
allowing the body to age?
To many, a bill of nonsense, was sold:
“the old could no longer engage.”
Most expect wisdom to come with years;
but, that isn’t always how it’s to be;
I endured many trials; shed
Hallowed Ground
I walked the store, where we had shopped;
not a trace of her could be found;
tho she was gone, my heart almost stopped;

shining the bright light of the truth;
but loneliness makes it so difficult
Greatness
Why, to greatness, do so many aspire;

what is achieved being rich and retire;
when your being, really has no end?
Greatness is never what you think or do;
nor something on which you’ll depend;
greatness isn’t earned;
Thinking Is Seeing
I’ve always heard, “seeing is believing”
and so, I am prone to think;
perhaps, instead; “thinking is conceiving”
for thoughts appear in a wink.
It may well be, that thought is sight;
all conception occurs in the mind;
decision made; before eye sees light;
and reality,
The Windfall Profit
Mysteriously a virus suddenly appears;
not born of nature; but created in a lab.
and, all are told, in a voice so sincere;
save neighbors and yourself, take a jab.
Little effort is made to treat this disease;
it’s all about preventing its occurance;
