A ROCK, A POND

A ROCK, A POND,AND SOME STONES

OCTOBER 4th 2023

There are things in the world I can't control

I can't control my rent,

Nor control other people

Nor their intentions.

I cannot control noise,

Nor wind,

Nor anything in the world.

Hell, I can't even control completely...

What is posted on my facebook page.

What I can control..

is my mind.

There is a pond I sit at

and there are all these rocks..

Stones of various shapes and sizes.

Some flat

Some round

Some boulders-big and small.

Some pebbles.

I like tossing rocks into the pond

cuz I love the ripples they create..

They make me happy.

I like skipping the flat stones across the water

cuz I like to see how far they will skip

cuz it makes me smile.

I like throwing a boulder into the water

cuz it splashes up and on me and the water feels good

and it makes me laugh.

I can't control your attitude..but..

I can control mine

I just toss a pebble in the pond,

watch the ripples and again..I smile

and I ride that ripple away!
