Alone ~ Self-Kindness ~ I Bring my own Party (to Life)

Enjoy this Trio of poems that tie together the aloneness we all face in Life — and the opportunities we have to share and spread good cheer. Party on! :))

Alone

Oh, you better learn to love

being by yourself —

For most of life is spent

all Alone . . .

 

In your own company,

like it or not —

With your own commentary

along Life’s path.

 

And really, that’s not

so bad as one would think —

Because you are, indeed,

creative and kind —

 

You look and see

where you can help,

And rise-up to make

this World a sweeter place . . .

 

So learn to love

being by yourself —

And be creative and kind

to your own self, too!

~~~~

Self-Kindness

To your self, say good things,

As you do with those you treasure —

Words of encouragement

And cheer . . .

 

Treat yourself to little

Surprises, and be

Generous with yourself,

To yourself, for a change!

 

And stop grumbling!

Start enjoying Life :))

And enter the flow of

Life’s Grand Design.

 

Accept yourself,

Improve yourself,

Love yourself,

Give of yourself . . .

I Bring My Own Party

I bring my own Party

to my Life, to my travels —

Because I know, full well,

there might not be one!

 

Unless I bring the open heart,

the reaching out, the cheer . . .

Someone else might have forgot —

and normalcy might reign.

 

Zombie-eyed worker-bees

mutely trudging through the

Doldrums, carrying on.

Another dollar. Another day . . .

 

And what an opportunity

missed, by my not thinking

Forward enough to embody

what’s needed to rise

 

Above the ordinary in Life

and bask in the spontaneity

Of Wow! Right Now!

Laughter. Sharing. Joy.

 

I’m ready, yes, to give:

Horseshoe nails (they bring good luck!),

Belgian chocolate, a little book,

mountain honey, tropical soap . . .

 

Warm words of humor, and praise —

some quirky banter, a complement,

A small philosophical chat, some

Kind of interaction and exchange . . .

 

And this keeps my Life

fresh, and this expands my

Circle of friends — mini-parties,

many exchanges . . .

 

And this balances

my times Alone —

Laughter, Uplift,

Party on! :))
