if words must escape your lips

let compliments flow

nod in calm understanding

be agreeable and kind

for one day you too

will want to be heard, and will

forget what you’ve said

people need attention first

leave perfection be

do what you can - assist

.(feed the birds)

but enjoy the ride

.(love life daily)

those small pebbles, they started

years ago... have grown

daily meanderings sing

some loud, some calmly silent

perhaps they will lead
