You gave your life
You didn’t even know me
Fought as a loyalist
In a land without our freedoms
Endured horrors
We only see in movies
Ate who knows what
Had to keep top secret information
From family missing
You tremendously
And now you are
Here with a cross
Denoting how you
Went to heaven
We remember you
We will always remember you
-Jennie Nawrocki
To be loved
Is a gift
Of reciprocity
By earning respect
Both helping
Both supporting
Emotionally
Or physically
Without consciousness
Could be leader
Giving confidence
Strength by modeling
With speech and demeanor
Or with consciousness
a call, a visit, a note
Building smiles, laughter
And especially safety
Of your space, your boundaries
never being crossed
Without your permission
That is love
That is trust
That is respect
You gave
And received
Together
-Jennie Nawrocki
It came
From above
So small
Some large
But each unique
So light
But yet
Once melted
On the warmth
Of the skin
That water weighs
Crunch is
The sound
Of it
Collected underfoot
But there was
No sound
As it fell
Watch for it
When it turns
To ice
As that crunch
Is lost and it is
Smooth and slippery
But yet again
Its blanket
Of whiteness
In its
Purest form
Will transform
Anything
Into
A winter wonderland
Undeniably beautiful
-Jennie Nawrocki
The events in Haiti are a sign
Climate change is real
If you don’t save
Mother Earth
She can’t support you
Here is what you can do

But mostly
You heard it before
But it is true
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
That is the least
Amount of respect
You can give
Mother Earth
-Jennie Nawrocki
Who you love
Some say
Is a match
A completion
an opposite
Right away
Or grew stronger
However it occurs
Don’t squash it
Accept it
And accept others
For love doesn’t
Come uniform
Love comes
How you
Need it
How you
Nurture it
How you
Respect it
Love everywhere
Just love the way
That you are
Born to love.
-Jennie Nawrocki
Quarantined
Stayed at home
No visitors
Or visiting others
We wore masks
Became vaccinated
Virtually were meeting
But the visits
Still missing
Even though
You’re invited
Once we can
But when
But how
So many people
So little time
It’s time
But reassess
What worked
What didn’t
Nows the time
If it worked great
But if you are glad
It was gone
Don’t resumed
Or change it
Why settle
When you can
Make it better
The time is now
Set a new beginning
-Jennie Nawrocki
We all know?
But do you?
What is the real truth?
Who is the source?
What is the motive?
Bias vs Objective
Politics is tricky
But journalists
Are objective
Judges
Are objective
Police are objective
At least that is
What I thought
Are you?
Are they?
Have we lost
the ability
To be objective?
Only when you
Make that choice.
-Jennie Nawrocki
So what?
Doesn’t lead to apathy
Only opposite
Because
You find
What really matters
is
Ethical
Moral
Altruistic
Community
And self
The big
And small
Pictures
That give you focus
The priorities
That decide
What is
Important
-Jennie Nawrocki
Smile big
Smile bright
There is always something to smile about
So I smile
Hesitant
But I smile anyways
They must know
I am not negative
-Jennie Nawrocki
Absolutely
Unequivocally
Without a doubt
Certainly
Of course
With you totally
Completely
Will do
With pleasure
These are answers of yes men or women
The are answers of positivity by choice.
