I am now ready
To finally once again
Smile and laugh at
My life’s folly it’s
Hard to laugh sometimes
At ones stupidity when
Stupidity turns into life
But like winter if
One waits long enough
Even glaciers begin to
Thaw bringing back though
Scarred ones precious humor

Rain
And then it came
News like drought rains
At first dropping then
Dripping and finally running
This news whilst welcome
Yielded floods and torrents
The power to change
Dry creek beds into
Rivers and better lives
Returning me to harvest
After three long years
Of cloud gathering hope
Yesterday it finally rained
Compass
Don’t judge
Me by
My face
For my
Face is
But a
Map showing
The places
I’ve been
But rather
Hold my
Heart for
It is
My compass
Pointing to
Where I
Shall always
Go next
HappyBirthdayRick❤️
And on this day
One day before me
There you were born
Being first you paved
The way for me
And as best friends
And like a frame
You surrounded my craziness
With home and friendship
Giving me the chance
To whimper and bark
Somewhere in the middle
Of the Midwest somewhere
Tackle boxes are made
You set out first
Knowing I would follow
Tomorrow souls do dream
Before they are born
And we did dream
Of being friends forever
Happiest of birthdays Rick
JuiceTheOrange
I don’t dismiss the
Past for life is
Like a bag of
Oranges and each experience
But one single fruit
I learn what I
Need to learn and
Carry its wisdom with
I juice the orange
Leaving behind the pulp
