Mix and Fix ©2019

I sometimes get frustrated with life, and all it's burdens. When I do, I find that writing down my feelings can be a great escape...

...

I ain't no scholar...That's for sure.

Still, Life's lessons, I'll endure...

Gather thoughts...then write 'em down.

Helps me smile, or sometimes frown.

Pass along my thoughts and hope...

Finding ways to help us cope.

Hopefully inspiring others,

to share their dreams...Not to smother.

Toss that anguish...throw it out.

If you've feelings...Shout them out!

Know there's power in your voice...

All of us still have that choice.

When you choose to just ignore,

problems only pile up more...

So, next time you're in a fix...

blend your stories in the mix...

Stir things up, then let 'em rise...

This may open up your eyes.

You might find you're not alone.

Someone else has chewed that bone.

Ideas shine some better light...

Discuss solutions...Make things right.

If we all just shared compassion,

it could be the latest fashion...

manners, honor...and respect.

Open minds...that don't neglect.

Try it out...Let's give a whirl...

Let's see then, how life does swirl?

One thing it should change for sure,

life would not be just a blur...

Together...we could all find ways.

So mix and fix for better days.
