Looking out the Window

August 31, 2020

Looking out the window
There's life, moving, whirling about
A never ending motion
Like a kaleidoscope always turning
Changing the world in small ways
People come, people go
Nothing stays the same for long
Not even a microsecond
Something is always different
One moment to the next
Bringing infinite possibilities
Fear could be lurking around the corner
But so could happiness, peace, or love
That's what it means to hope
To see the next corner, or down a long corridor
And believe that the best is waiting
There's no way to know for sure
It takes courage to go forward
To take the next step towards a brighter future
To move the kaleidoscope along with everyone else
Changing it for yourself, or your friends
Only together can we make it brighter than yesterday
Even when it turns dark, together we can keep going
It won't stay that way forever
True, it might get worse
When it is, we must be honest about it
We must look at it with the wisdom and strength to know
that things have turned bad
For only when we accept the disease
Can we find the cure
