Happy Dancing

By Lawrence R. Berger

Life is too short not to enjoy it!

Sometimes we forget that and it gets us into trouble.

But the sun still shines , the rain still pours , snow still

has to be shoveled. Life can be really good sometimes

so enjoy!

see you next week!

Great goga moga ! It's allmost my birthday !

Hi folks : Well September's almost over . The new year has come . I can't beilive I'll be 44 next month. It seems I learned to talk just yesterday. Here's this week's poem :

Marking Time

By Lawrence R. Berger

The clock ticks ever onward

the motion is slow but relentless.

Year by year

life ebbs slowly through you fingers

you try and catch a moment .

Something to hold on to so you cam believe

you made a difference . But the clock moves on

and on . Never stooping never changing

as we grow old and life passes us by

see you next week!

New Year Old Rules!

DESTINY

By Lawrence R. Berger

Rise up and be counted

the book of life is waiting for you to be inscribed

Don't dawdle! Let the sound of the shofar bring

tears to your eyes and warmth to your heart.

see you next week!

Happy Jewish new year!

HI FOLKS:

Well it's September again and the high holiday's are here. Happy new year to those of you who celebrate the holiday. May the days of this season be happy ones. Here's this weeks poem :

Trumpets blast !

By Lawrence R. Berger

The new year begins

with a shofar blast

drowning out the worries of the past

to be inscribed in the book of life

Is the goal of those of the stripe

to pray for blessing in the coming year

and to be around those we hold dear.

Time to join friends and family

and become one in the community

so have no fear and have a happy new year!

Happy labor day! special post!

Hi folks : Happy Labor day! This is a special post in honor of the holiday and because I got a challenge to do a rhyming poem by one of the reader's of this blog . So here's the special holiday rhyming poem :

Happy Labor Day!

by Lawrence R. Berger

To all who struggle

and toil in amongst the rubble

let the dust fall off your back

and lay down that heavy sack

for you have truly earned the rest

with which we have been blessed.

The time has come nigh

for you to rest and pacify

your aching wounds

from summer work

I only wish you the best

on this your well earned day of rest

for down your burdens you will lay

have a happy labor day!

Welcome to fall!

Hi folks: It's harvest season! all the fruits and vegetables are cheap and fresh! Here's this weeks poem:

Perfect pear picking weather

By Lawrence R. Berger

The sun is warm out today.

and the tree is ready!

There is much fruit on it

and it is perfectly ripe.

I go early in the morning

before it hits 90 in the shade

and get what I can from the tree.

There is plenty more for another

day. This year we've harvested more

pears than ever before and there is still more on the tree !

I guess it's like life, the more you get done the ,more you have yet to do!

see you next week!
