Of All the Sights I've Seen

     I’ve traveled the world by air and by sea
        Seen what many aren’t privileged to see

    From heinous acts of terror to country-wide starvation
        From the richest of rich to the poorest of nations

    Seen the beauty of a shoreline warmed by a red sun
        A homing pigeon fly thousands of miles on his annual ‘home run’ 

    Yet of all the sights I’ve seen, at the top stands just one
        ~ The candles in the chapel lit, evening service begun
