Before God’s creation
I am humble,
knowing we are but grains of
sand along the shores of time-
and standing alone are
nearly invisible.
Together we can form
mountains, reaching to
the heavens as we lift
each other up,
offering a steady shoulder
when needed and accepting
a foothold when we falter
ourselves.
Nothing truly great is
ever accomplished alone,
nothing in creation can be known
without another.
Community, cohesion, cooperation,
appreciation, admiration, aspiration
to be all that we
dream.
Together.
Humble.

The photo is lovely, and your poetry is beautiful. Together, this is a wonderful combination.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dan. He and his little buddies showed up for an unexpected photo session a few days ago. 🙂
DeleteBeautiful! We are never alone.
ReplyDeleteEven when we feel it the most Pam. Thanks.
DeleteLovely poem which is the need of the hour. In the times, where politicians are dividing us into various racial and religious groups it is time to see through their schemes and unite for a better tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWe can only hope this pivotal moment does not go unrecognized. I fear the consequences of such ignorance.
