I Have a Dream

I Have a Dream

© 2017 by P Michael Biggs

“I have a dream.”

Dr. King said that.

And many today reap

The benefits of those dreams.

‘Tis a good thing, I think,

that he didn’t say

“I have a plan.”

Dreams start enterprises.

They start movements.

They are the beginning

of tall buildings

and short stories

Dreams are important

to our future.

What are you dreaming of

that we will need tomorrow?

Second Chances (A Prose)

© 2017 by P Michael Biggs

Second chances are a gift.

We get to stand up … again.

We get to bat … again.

We get a do-over.

What if some of our second chances

become masterpieces?

What if they enhance our education?

And if we learn, all is well. 

All is well, indeed.

So, take another crack at life.

Swing again and again.

Try, fail, try, fail better.

It’s called second chance.

Some call it grace.

The Reason

© 2017 by P Michael Biggs

We are here for a reason.

Perhaps it is our season.

What are you doing for others?

They are, after all, our brothers.

We’re born for a reason.

This life we’re given is our season

To go and do, learn and earn,

There’s a reason for this season

In life, what is your aim?

Every skill is one to tame.

We lay no blame,

we lay no shame.

Our aim is ours to claim.

Not a Bad Life

© 2017 by P Michael Biggs

 

Maybe it’s a bad day,

Not a bad life.

Each day has its struggles,

Its worries and its strife.

And we get through it

We struggle to survive

We take it bit by bit

Even when we’re ninety-five

We aim to endure

That is for sure

Sometimes we take a detour

In searching for a cure

Life is not a bad life

Even when in strife

We work, we think

even when not in sync

It’s life, it’s life, it’s life
