Some hearts are golden, helping others in need
without looking for anything in return
giving from the heart is a rare gift these days
it requires no receipt for kindness.

I get passionate about something,
and then my weak mind stands
in the way; consistency does not
stick around; after a while I lose my way
when the real hard work comes to play.

Summer sailed by this year
it was just the beginning of June
and the kids were out of school
and now it’s almost August again
it’s back to the hustle and bustle
the calming season is over.
