The Roller Coaster

I invite strength to come in.

I’m not the only one in need.

There are others too.

We should all hold hands.

Darkness falls. Another day will come.

For life.

I mesmerize my fate. For what tomorrow may bring.

While the moment is dark. 
I invite the sunshine in.

Perhaps not tomorrow.

I hope not now.

It’s day by day. I know that now.

But I won’t loose faith.

For what is the right thing to do.

The Tail Wag

Uncle Len or Leonard is one of my best friends. We're both born on the same day - fourty years apart. Leonard is a retired boat builder. Well he was until I brought him out of retirement to help me restore my old wood boat.
Today he was helping me with some woodwork on the transom. The boatyard dogs are running freely, including Fred. My son's dog which I inherited from a pup.
I happen to be bending over cleaning out a brush when he out of the blue made this comment.
"A dog wags his tail with his heart."
I thought to myself, how true. They're happy. In their heart's they are happy and they show it by wagging their tail.
The two legged creatures on this planet don't have a tail to wing around, rather a face they can paint a grin on.
Not always sure it comes from the heart!
