INSPIRATION
By Renée Michelle Wenker

As I sit here, and wonder what to do,
The clock ticks silently. It's nothing new.
The days go by, always the same.
Life seems just a boring game.

I wake, get coffee...sit at the table.
There’s naught to do, of which I am able.
No jobs on the market, to pay bills and play.
Just my imagination. I won't let it decay.

The mind is a wonder, I often reflect,
On times gone by, and what I neglect.
The people today, "no wonder!” are dead.
The fighting inside, losing one's head.

Life shouldn't be something we grudge.
Remember the times are moms' made us fudge?
Why don't we all just sit back and laugh?
That special feeling cuts troubles in half!

"What to laugh at?" you ask. Well, let me ROAR,
"Life's big problems can open a door!"
Simply go through, and close behind...
The tragedies you felt brought life to a grind.

Look back and say, "I'm glad that's all through."
And rejoice in the fact that you are still you.
It may have caused you much pain and much tears.
But much joy is waiting ahead in your years.

It's all up to you to make life fun.
ALL great problems melt under the sun.
So what if nothing's going your way??
Find a new road, make yours a new day!

I'm ready to look at this day once more,
And see the possibilities in its store.
I'll take note, and smile at silly, simple things.
I'll find the joys this other life brings!
