Proximity

The sun radiating a warm glow On the Eastern horizon Softly and slowly it is rising Bringing joy for some and sadness For others, all living in close Proximity of each other If we only knew what each life Has to face each day, we Would be more compassionate Those that face challenges in living Due to age, illness, life stages That bring challenges of their own The cool crisp air is refreshing Being outside is relaxing and inspiring The soft chirp of birds of different species Roosters in the distance greet a new day Crows flying high flapping strong Powerful wings and crawing at the same time Duty calls my name and I must answer Thank you Lord for another day with Time on the porch to be refreshed In spirit and in your love and care Help me to let it overflow into the lives Of others where ever I go
