Sanding

Another one of life's
Ironies
Sand creates smoothness
(Except in swimtrunks)
If there are 
Rough patches
Pit paper against patch
Grip it, slide it
Let that grit
Work for you 
Until you can
Find the smooth places
If all else fails
Sand was here
In the beginning
It will be here 
In the end
So pull out that worn
Deck chair
Lean back and wait
Sometimes life is
A Beach




From Open Link night at dversepoets.com  Thx Tash :-)

  7. Yes, there is always sand, will be sand. I laughed about sand creating smoothness except in swim trunks! I wouldn't mind being at the beach right now! Thanks for jamming.
