If I Take Care Poem by John Sensele

Today I may mumble and stumble
Tomorrow I may fumble and grumble
But if my effort insists and persists
Demanding and commanding I unclench fists

For mounds of clouds to blow away
Aerating and creating a wonderful way
For joy to deploy a smile on me again
When beautiful bearings I regain

To forge in glamorous gorges ahead
Clean thoughts striving and thriving in my head
Reminding me a silver lining
Lies within easy grasp underlining

The cyclical nature of life events
That swing this way one moment, that way the next if I close vitriolic vents
Repelling and expelling associates
Whom my heart somehow depreciates

When I bang my head against a wall of obstination
Levity in its entirety elevating procrastination
For me to keep a low profile
And for each associate walk the extra mile of a smile.
