In comparison
to eternity,
this life
certainly is short.
I recall becoming
an old man, but
I thought it
would take longer.
Along the way,
I’ve learned
I can choose
anger, fear, hate,
or I can choose love.
It’s not complicated.
I won’t surrender
my peace,
not even to those
I can not control.
I now live
the life I chose,
With friendship and Spirit
at its center.
Compassion and generosity
seem to work
just fine for me.
I’m aiming mostly
for calm, happy, joyful,
not cool, rich or desirable.
Breathing in with grace,
exhaling with gratitude.
Life is just too good.
