Life is a special gift and so we try to live it wisely and do all the good that we can.

Life is like a maze,
A puzzle
Wherefore
Slots are missing.
The objective is
Liken to abstract art
To seek,
To find
The missing pieces
And
Put them in perspective.

We are
Constantly bombarded
With external energies
Which may at times
Change
Our focus
On the path we want to take.

On this journey of life,
Mistakes are common,
Problems
Will surface,
Difficulties
Will appear
But
All in all we have to focus
On the positive
To get things right,
To capture the good energy
And ride the wave
Of peace, happiness and joy.


Nature brings us the seasons;
Spring, Summer, Autumn
And Winter.
God blessed us
With a family;
With all these
Youngsters counseled
By
A teacher.

A wealth of good times
Seemingly difficult
To find
Online.
Leaving only
For the sunshine,
Sadly missing
The warm family
Time.

But the mind
We deem to focus;
Generating our thoughts;
Putting thoughts to action
Where action creates the result;

This is the reality
Of our doting family.

The family is close-knit;
Socialization with outsiders
Is common
But fear of mistrust
Is utmost.
So we trust the mind.


Immersed
Yet uncovered
Down under
Where the spirits hovered.
The mind is strong
Outwitting the
Advent of temptation.

It's a funny world
Of 'associates'
Many
Are individuals who have
Worked tirelessly
And often selflessly
To survive
And make a headway
In life.
Brushed up
Against hundreds of people
Who simply pretend
To be friends.

But, who are friends?
Those true
And
Real.
Others only seek
Self-advancement;
Who are
Fake, farce,
Uncompassionate
And lack empathy
And are just a representative
Of the harsh world.
