  poems for a new tomorrow

if ledges were hedges

if ledges were hedges

would you step on me?

or should I just wait here

and say shall we see?

for if you don’t ever

look where you step

you may just fall over

and feel like a schlep

and life is not always

just what it seems

for what may look wonderful

may actually be mean

but that’s not to say

that it goes only one way

for what may look temporary

may just be here to stay

so don’t ever assume

that you always know where you are

or you may be surprised

that you’ve gone way too far

so keep them eyes open

and you just may find

that hedges were ledges

only in your mind
