Jeff Rushton Poems

Helping others is human nature.
Nature helps others become human.
Human is a nature others help.
Helping others is simple and serene.
...

The fight over a toy?
The yell at a sibling for a wondering eye?
The argument over something that cannot be remembered at end?
The commotion caused when they hold another’s hand?
...

There are things in life that man does not want to give up.
There are things in life that man will not give up.
There are things in life that man must give up in order to survive.
There are things in life that man can give up in order to come alive.
...

The greatest possessions are those without substance.
The most memorable pleasures are maintained by feelings and a mental photo.
The lessons learned are tested by your desire to yearn and your actions in turn.
The emotions, passions, obsessions and aggressions are as valuable as the reaction you can have on those around you, during their conception, inception, and lasting impression.
...

Each profession has a great and profound reward of completion.
The carpenter builds homes and structures that man runs to for shelter.
Cabinets are built to house the handmade quilt or the treasures you hide from the silt.
The money you earn is multiplied by those who financially discern.
...

The fight begins
The doctors say eighteen months to live
The sickness hurts and keeps you from normal work
The realization of death is at hand
