All I Ever Got

was visions at night

and morning feet walking

to my wife

planting a kiss

on her pretty face.

Making breakfast with

arms that move

and swinging to help

me sing. These eyes which

can see like a window

alive with shadows and light.

Standing straight and tall

then bending to touch a leaf.

Come to think about it

life is not that difficult to be

and I’m part of the act.

Note: This poem is a reminder we have much and not having a fancy car or home is secondary to having a happy life with decent health as depicted in this poem. -Richard LP.
