Happy Birthday!!

To proclaim your natal celebration
is not a boast -
for it is perhaps the most
to proclaim a toast
for being alive
and not being toast --- yet!!

 
70 isn't so bad .... so far! LOL!! Thanks to EVERYONE who sent me BD greetings!  
As one of my cards read (via Katie P.) -
"To be seventy years young is far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old."

I'm Tired

I'm tired ...
    Tired of the words and pics
    of war and agression. So stupid.
Why all this violence?!

They look like spoiled children
    playing games ---
When does it end?
    Who wins?  --- no one
    Who loses?  --- everyone

They are like spoiled children
   playing games ---
       with others' lives...
       with their own lives

There is so much
   to experience
in this wonderful world ---
Why keep one another
   from the joy of wonder?

Don't take life so seriously, kids.
   G3 doesn't.

Become like little children, he said ---
   Full of wonder and joy --- now.
It's never too late.
