LESSON

I never learned
To be content
With what I had
Now, what I had is gone
With what I've left
I feel not bereft
Late came the lesson
I should have learned early on

LITTLE MIRACLES

1 gallon of gas
2 gallons of propane
16 dollars in my wallet
They are all just little miracles
Even the saimin in my stomach

I've gratefully
Become accustomed to
The simple things in life
Trying to leave behind
The mental anguish
And the strife

Today's ability to testify
With more than paper and a pen
That little miracles do happen
Again, and again,
And again
