Success is to be measured not so much by the position
that one has reached in life as by the obstacles
which he has overcome.

Every day we have at least one opportunity to help…
Every day we have at least one opportunity to help a friend, a loved one or even a stranger. It is our responsibility to do what we can, when we can, to assure that someone else does better.

Tolerance is a strength
It makes things bearable
Life is not a breeze ever
But being intolerant makes
Things much more harder
When things get tough for you
Take a deep breath and say to self
It is alright, I can take this with a smile

John – #poetry – #NaPoWriMo
In Loving Memory of John Freda 1968-2020
You left
Before I
Could say goodbye
I sit
And can’t help
But wonder why
You were taken
So soon
From us, away
Though
In our hearts
You’ll forever stay
I loved
Your kindness
Your gentle soul
But, alas,
Your absence
Will take its toll
On so many,
Who will never know
Your spirit
Or the sound
Of your laughter,
I can still hear it
A man
Who cared
For so many, but he
“Reach out,
I’m here,
If you ever need me”
A phrase
He would say to me,
Again & again
He’d listen,
And comfort,
And never complain
John,
You were truly
A wonderful friend
And
To our Alyssa,
You were a godsend
Now
You’re an angel,
In Heaven above
At peace
With our Lord,
Embraced in His love.

The Corner Store – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

“Sometimes I wonder how normal normal people, and I wonder that most in the grocery store.” Elizabeth Moon
The Corner Store
The bell tinkles as I push through,
stepping back in time to the
clutter of floor to ceiling,
a veritable treasure trove
complete with social telegraph
punctured only by the till and
hushed tones seeking credit,
children hoping for lollies,
sophisticated teens with milkshakes,
hanging on the veranda
of this humble emporium.
