Category: the year in haiku

What you think today
Will create your tomorrow;
Choose your thoughts wisely.

The sting of failure,
A surefire agent of change;
Use its power well 

Be ready for growth.
Embrace the unexpected
With an open heart.

Handed down with care
Wisdom from the painted porch
Still holds true today.

When self doubt creeps in,
Know you’ll get there in the end:
Believe in yourself.

Smiles go a long way,
Greet your fellow traveller
Along the shared path.

Sharpen your focus,
Pay attention to detail.
Learn each lesson well.

Make a change for good,
Your time of power is now:
All thoughts can be changed.

Reading to unwind.
Furry noses nudge gently;
“Don’t forget us, Dad…”

Geese drift lazily
As river flows gently by
Honks break the silence

Weary legs crave rest,
The uphill road is so long;
Focus on the view.

When the path is blocked
And answers are elusive;
Trust you will find them.

Don’t skimp your effort:
You get back what you put in,
There are no shortcuts.

Examine each act,
Ask yourself: ‘Why do this thing?’:
For the greater good.

Each new day passes
Like a brief summer rain storm;
Over in a flash.
