How many heartbeats will pound in our ears, how much
laughter, how many tears?
How many times do our eyes blink each day, compared to the
number of thoughts gone astray?
How many times to we whine and complain, and who do we
praise without thinking of gain?
How often locked away with our woes, compared to the times
with beach sand between toes?
How much dark chocolate and
how many greens, how often hiding and how often seen?
How often stopping because of
some fear, how often pushing past what’s in that mirror?
How often grateful for all
that we have, how often “I want” spreads like some kind of salve?
How many promises kept day by
day, how many excuses held them at bay?
How often sick and how often
well, is life often heaven or more often hell?
How often eating at life’s
apple pie, how often wishing and hoping to die?
How many tumors can fit in my
frame causing problems that just are too many to name,
How does one make peace with
this kind of life, filled with pain, isolation and merciless strife?
Where does one find the
courage to be here in peace and remember it’s never to own but to lease?
No one said it was easy but
when I’m aware, I know choosing the light gets me closer to “there”.
