Another Sunrise

We watched the sun rise on the west coast of Florida over a landscape vast and wide Then we drove 200 miles across the state to watch it set on the other side. This morning we watched it rise again 200 miles away from our home by car And I thought isn’t it amazing how the sun rises on all of us no matter who we are? Each morning without a doubt in her mind she rises and our day begins… She doesn’t care about our nationality, our religion or the color of our skin. She doesn’t care about our sexual preferences if we are athletic, coordinated or lame. Every morning without fail… she rises just the same. She doesn’t care if we’re fat or thin, if we’re tiny, blind, deaf or tall When she rises she doesn’t seem to care what any of us look like at all Perhaps the sun is sending us a message… as sunrise after sunrise we see… If she can rise above all our differences Perhaps she’s saying… so can’ we.
