To Do List


Plant yellow jonquils and purple iris
Listen to ravens outside the window
Encourage the world to be kinder
Teach children to fall in love with words

Feel less sad when I say goodbye
Cherish my granddaughter’s voice
Worry less about the future
Weep when I remember my father

Try everything at least once
Fill my life with color and song
Work at being more patient
Learn to live one day at a time

Thank you my dear. I'm struggling a bit with my writing so it's good to get something out that is pleasing.
