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
