Gifts
If my life has taught
me any truths at all
They are three---
That there is no
greater freedom
Than that presented by
uncertainty,
That there is no
greater comfort
Than that given by
love,
And that the Universe
offers us all
Auspicious and abundant
quantities of both
It seems to me
That the only real
tricks in life
Are to become unafraid
Of accepting these
gifts
And to become aware
Of how fantastically
precious they are
*****
On Your Sleeves
Keep your eyes and mind
open
And your heart and soul
Out on your sleeves
Friendship and love
Are always looking
And when they find you
You never know
Exactly where you might
be
