Notes About The Poem

THE PRIVILEDGE

FROM MY ROOFTOP GARDEN, 12 NOVEMBER 2016, MY PICTURE, (c)

The Privilege

The dawn arrived

And

I am still here:

       Standing

           Breathing

               Watching

                    Listening

                        Touching

                             Scenting

                                   Tasting

                           Admiring

                     Wondering

                   Enjoying

             Exclaiming

        Celebrating

      Praying

And

Offering thanksgiving to our Lord

For

The unique privilege 

That

So many have lost:

TO BE ALIVE!

CayCay Godwin November 12, 2016 at 5:02 AM I love knowing a man who truly takes times to smell the flowers. Even more special is gardening which allows me to feel as a co-creator of both veges and flowering beauties. I even enjoy the labor as a fulfilling co-creator through and with God. I do wonder, what flower you were use to be if you had to? I just know a white, perennial adorning a yard that is loved ... A joy to read, Demetrios ...

I love them all so I have to think about it!
