Starting the Day

Students drop by 
    and hand in their papers
Chinese, Blacks, Israelis, Moslems 
    The job is interesting but does not pay well 
   Still, after years of telephone sales
 it is a blessing  
    working with people of different cultures 
   I miss my woman of a different culture 
Still - I will head to 
     synagogue on Friday 
  AS ALWAYS

How blessed we are to have so many interesting cultures and races to learn about on this planet Matthew. I will never quit learning or enjoying it. A lovely poem!
