Big Sky Buckeye

A writer's journey continues

Either you deal with what is the reality, or you can be sure that the reality is going to deal with you.

When you clench your fist, no one can put anything in your hand.

In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.

Find the good, and praise it.

Finding life’s goodness

Whether great or small

Always filled with praise

Tasting its windfall

Finding lasting strength

Wherever it lies

Courage raining down

Silencing our cries

Finding peace and hope

Never stop sharing

Everyday people

Witnessing caring

Finding clear focus

Love shall overcome

With gentle actions

Blessing life’s outcome

Finding better ways

Around life’s gridlock

Perseverance wins

Changing up our walk

Finding new vision

With every song

Voices lifting up

Singing “come along”

Inspiration for this poem comes from the words of American writer, Alex Haley: “Find the good, and praise it.”
