Try though it might, the wind couldn’t

shake sunlight from the trees

or uproot the grass though

it did have some fun with the trash.

I try to work with technology,

but sometimes it’s determined

not to work with me.

That’s when I go looking

for a grandkid ’cause

they’re on better terms.

When someone asks you

to dance, it’s important to know

what the dance is before

you say yes or no.

When those furry interlopers appear,

Knox’s purpose in life becomes clear

and he hits the ground running.

The birds at the feeder

cheerily chirp their approval.

They now know

they’ll have more to eat.

That wind is causing

quite an uproar among the trees,

but the sun’s caress 

encourages them to treat

it as a chance to dance.

Sometimes doors

need to be closed.

Sometimes doors

need to be opened.

Wisdom lies in knowing

which and when.
