SITTING DUCKS
c2018 Brian Beecher
Give yourself space to
Feel and listen to you
Without so much
Wondering what to do
Breathing room today
Which sets you up perfectly
Might bring you face-to-face
With the forces of history
We are like sitting ducks
We are like sitting ducks
To keep your relationships
Happy as you feel you should
To balance the “I” and “we”
In ways that make everyone feel good
Take it easy on yourself
And on others today
Choosing forgiveness will
Really simplify the way
We are like sitting ducks
We are like sitting ducks
Adrift on a lonely sea
Hoping for a stroke of luck
Bringing things into balance now
Especially your own feelings
Lends a steady hand
With grounded spirit yes you can
Build the best of life on earth
Though at times left in the cold
For whatever it’s all worth
You can find beauty to behold
We are like sitting ducks
We are like sitting ducks
Adrift on a lonely sea
Hoping for a stroke of luck
We are like sitting ducks
We are like sitting ducks
Unsheltered from life’s storms
But one day we’ll see the sun
