Little Eyes


Little Eyes

Little eyes are watching.
They watch you and me
as we do life
That’s how they learn.

And then they grow up.
They have our imprint,
our mark on them.

Today, God …
Let me make
some good marks
that will endure.

Let me be the
Grandfather of the future
for good in someone.

Doctors


Doctors

I’m headed to the doctor.
For most of my life,
I’ve feared doctors.
They like to stick you,
or so I thought.

I’ve gone to seem them
many times, and have not
been pricked, or poked.

I’m learning to trust
my doctor.
He/She has only my
best health in mind.

They are partners
in the pursuit of good.
They have studied,
know a lot,
and try to help.
I like doctors.

Doctors are human beings,
like me, with a specialty.
They eat, pay bills,
buy groceries,
tie their shoes,
just like me.

We need good medical professionals.
Do you have a good doctor?

Late Bloomers


Late Bloomers
© 2018 by P Michael Biggs



(It finally bloomed)









I have a rhododendron bush
just out my window.
All other rhodys have
blossomed and shown off
this season,
except for this one.
It is what we call
a late bloomer.

It still beautifies my world,
it still adds a wonderful spring
essence all its own.
It’s just a late bloomer.

I’ve known a few late bloomers
in my time.
They are still people
of worth and value,
They just don’t find their
stride till later.

At times, I’ve been
a late bloomer.
I think my writing
is an example of that.

And yet, I am still valid.
I still have worth.
And maybe I’m not late at all.

Maybe I’m right on time
for someone who enjoys
the essence of what I do.

Maybe they live in this era
and have come along
to appreciate my words
for this season in life.

Maybe I’m not so late
after all.

Maybe you are not late also.
Bloom where you are planted,
and when you are ready.
