Appreciating life
It does not discriminate
It burns hot and cold
Set to show planning may help
Problems solved but to a point

Like charcoal embers
Burns hotter without a blaze
Minds one's own business
With no fanfare but given
to goodness of a blessed soul

For Chev's Carpe Diem Tanka with prompt- charcoal and
Elizabeth's Creativity Challenge Day #5  -  life's meaning

    Life can sure have hot and cold sprees indeed. But have to keep those embers burning more often than not.

    Yes Hank, life does blow and and cold. I am gradually learning to keep things into perspective.
    Enjoy your week-end.
    Yvonne.

    It is the goodness of peoples' hearts and souls that I believe in. Good one, Hank.
