Is it for us to lead our fate,To circumvent our final date?Have we the power over death,To decide, ourselves, our last breath?We change our minds, our course, reverse.Does that then change the universe?Do we bend to our Maker’s will,Unwittingly, His plan fulfill?Are we pawns in God’s game of chess,Mindless robots and nothing less?Christian and atheistContinue reading “Free or Fate?”

Tools
“Tools” My dad had no use for grammar, Never helped me with my school; His skill was with his hammer, And words became my tool. My mom would use a wooden spoon, When baking cakes or cookies, And sometimes when we misbehaved, She’d use it on our tushies. My cat can use her claws, ToContinue reading “Tools”

Some call me “King of the Beasts.” Don’t let the name fool you. The hyennas still charge me WAY too much for coffee. They say I’m getting a “royal” discountContinue reading “Lyin’ or King?”
Impossible Request
Play me a song, piano man;Grant me this request, if you can.I’m feeling down since my love left;I’m lost without him, sad, bereft;Are your skills worthy, honed, and deft?Play a tune that’s sad, but not grim,That causes the lights here to dim,Fills my eyes with tears to the brim;A song that reminds me of him.MusicContinue reading “Impossible Request”
National Singles Day
Celebrating Singleness Yes, today is National Singles Day–a day that we are supposed to celebrate our “singleness.” First, I should say that I do enjoy my alone time. I sometimes drive to work with the radio turned off so I can think. I turn off the TV while I’m writing so I can concentrate, andContinue reading “National Singles Day”
