Yugen #25 CELEBRATE LIFE

It is a warm sunny afternoon

Here I am sitting in my room

Talking to friends about  the  world we live in

Counting on our blessings each day

Celebrating life as we move along.

The heaviness of the heart still persists

The events of the last few days

Bring tears to my eyes.

A boy known to me and yet unknown in so many ways

A life so young; gone so far ; too soon.

My heart is still crying although the tears have dried up.

What a year 2020 has been !

With so much pain and suffering.

My lips say a silent prayer of gratitude

To the Almighty and the Universe

To keep us safe  and in sound health

Physical, Mental and Emotional;

For these are the times that test the real me.

A silent prayer escapes my lips

Please help me to listen to the words unsaid;

Feel the pain untold;

So that I can reach out and wipe away,

The tears of people

Near and dear.

Life is beautiful

And so are you.

Lets rekindle the faith

Lets come together and celebrate
