Birth Right

The evening sky covers the field like a blanket As the moon appears as a nightlight for all to see The beauty of the land’s new reflective splendor Opens to the eyes of those who wish view happily As the moon appears as a nightlight for all to see My eyes squint to retrieve the beauty falling before I smile as my heart sighs with the image bestowed At this time of the evening, the earth now adorned The beauty of the land’s new reflective splendor Is a daily reminder of the many gifts on the earth I remain thankful for my time and my witnessing These many gifts granted as a right, from my birth
