The Light

In the busy world, let us focus on the light

There will always be things to do, on that we can rely

Boxes unpacked, diploma earned and children grown up

At each day's end, our mind turns to something new

Let us focus on the beauty and the light

Let us look for the good in the world and one another

Let us remember that regardless of circumstance, status, worldly matters and labels

We are equal

We are birthed from the same earth as the trees

The stars gave birth to all things
