Fix, Manage, Control

Fix, manage, control.
What does that do for our soul?

To be in charge, to know what's best
What if it's all just a test?

To see if we can let go
And trust that life is already in its flow.

Putting out fires, being a success
Looks good on the outside, but leaves me a mess.

What if my way isn't God's way?
I bulldoze and rarely lose.
He gently opens the door and gives me opportunity to choose.

What if we could trust that each of us is on our own path.
To peel our own layers so we can grow.
Practicing acceptance, gentleness and vulnerability
With ourselves, will open our hearts and give us humility.

We can choose to let go, not be in charge and trust there's a divine plan.
Keep it simple - be easy on ourselves and love & accept the differences in man.

To acknowledge people's greatness and the talents you see, is an act of kindness.
To fuel them to go out and touch others with their gift.
This is how we uplift the world, one-person-at-a-time, and make the planet's needed shift.

Chickadees

Chickadees, you are my glee.
You sing, you chirp, you buzz and talk to me.
You're so cute, you're so funny.
Your spriteness, many voices - keep me sunny.
You always make an effort to say hello,
Even with no sun, you don't feel low.
Your joy, hope and heart's big smile,
Help me remember the small things make life worth while.
