Judy nuzzles close to my hip
Her warmth and love comfort every being
Of me
Every time I watch PBS I cry
Tonight it is about nature As it often is And it tells the story of our country And our Forefathers
Our forests Our sequoias Our buffalo
Just a hundred years ago it was different
And it makes me sad.
I feel the pain of it all and I can’t stop the pain
Theodore Roosevelt said, Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it.
He said it at the top of the Grand Canyon Off the cuff To the people On his 14,000 mile trip to see our Country He was the President
Sometimes when I think about Heaven…yes, I think about Heaven
I imagine a place where you see all that you wanted to see – do all that wanted to do – say all that you wanted to say – meet every person you ever wanted to meet
And all you feel is – Happiness.
For now, I feel the pain and I cry tears for the injustice of lost wildlife For the trees that have fallen For the testing of nuclear weapons For the wars we are in For the crime in my neighborhood For the loneliness For the misunderstandings and miscommunication For the silliness of living life in the 21st
……..
Judy has shifted She no longer nuzzles my hip Jake is putting clean sheets on the bed and I have wiped my tears
Another day starts now.
