Dust and Cobwebs
Cobwebs catching settling dust,
they save me much work.
Machinery showing rust,
a colorful quirk.
It’s all a total must.
It’s part of what is;
like a pie with a crust,
a soda with fizz.
One shouldn’t sweat the small stuff,
like a dust bunny under the bed,
or a golf ball in the rough.
They’re just cobwebs in one's head.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem, Robert. I enjoyed it. Continued blessings!

Robert, thank you for sharing your talent with this lovely well written poem. True it is that life is all in how you look at it. And we must not sweat the small stuff. Life is too short for that. Dust bunnies? Let them be I say until another day.
