the suggestion box

the suggestion box
is full
of little notes I've written
over the course
time.
do this, try that,
or maybe it would be a good
idea if you
didn't do that.
or perhaps we can do something
different
for a change.
mostly the notes
are directed towards
myself or a significant
other.
small adjustments trying
to get to the same place.
they haven't changed
much over 50 years.
each
one written in the same
vein.
wanting trust and love,
building
a quiet nest of peace
and harmony
to grow old in,
to stay young in.
