Memorial Day
Observed with flags and parades
Honor those who serve
We are all programmed
Truths given not discovered
Our thoughts not our own
Dandelions grow
In all yards. Some folks pull them
Others let them be
They gave good feedback
Approaching it cold they saw
Things I could not see
Like a game of chess
I move my pawns while other
Pieces move themselves
Waiting to decide
Or waiting to implement?
Can’t tell them apart
Writing a novel
Fiction taken from my life
What’s real and what’s not?
Redbird Studio
I don’t know what to expect
Going there tonight
What’s best for the team?
What’s best for me? For the firm?
Which takes precedence?
Poignant dilemma
Torn between worry and love
He’s scared, he’s stupid
Won’t open his mouth
No matter what tricks she plays
He’s made up his mind
But if Oprah chose
To show kids struck by lightning
Would that cause fear too?
Saw it on Oprah
Boys bullied to suicide
Fears for our own son
She owns the business
Runs it only way she can
Creature of habit
Calling Switzerland
Sending an apology
Through seven time zones
Don’t catch the swine flu
Stay out of Mexico and
Keep washing your hands
Talking on the phone
Telling me about his day
A thrill for us both
Hannover went well
Buyers are still buying things
Business looking up
Living in a fog
Codiene in my cough syrup
Can’t seem to focus
Upgrade to first class
On a hundred dollar flight
To the Twin Cities
Comments on a blog
Sound snarky and insecure
Do they hurt or help?
His car won some races
It was faster than I thought
But still no trophies
Don’t get distracted
Focus where you have impact
Use your time wisely
The Pinewood Derby
Blends fun and disappointment
Winners and losers
No fever, no flu
That tightness is bronchitis
Take pills and get well
Sick with the flu bug
I’m shivering one minute
And sweating the next
Raise expectations
You set them, know it or not
Push yourself, your team
Make a decision
Get facts and input, but you
Must make decisions
Top three for leaders
Not based on special wisdom
Off top of my head
I'm proud of my sonHe's beginning to stand upWanting to become
