I contemplated the sorrow, grief and strife that

     causes so much pain.

And I looked at the diseases, accidents, and afflictions

     that affects the masses.

Everywhere I looked there was destruction and despair

     in my mind’s eye.

And then one sunny day I was strolling on the shores of

     the Atlantic Ocean

And I saw the sun as it dipped on the horizon in a clear blue sky with

     the water rushing up to the sand and felt the light breeze that carried a

     seagull.

On cold nights

the wintry winds

blow the soft, white

puffs of cotton

that drifts from

the coal black sky.

The days

bring snowmen

snowball fights

snow angels

and sledding

                down  

                            the

                                    hill.
