As I walk, I smell the smoke from a cigar My mind flys far away, in another part of the world smoke is smelled by a little girl as her village is burned and pillaged
As I walk, I feel the heat from the midday summer sun Afar off, a small boy feels the heat of bombs expolding among his family and friends
As I walk, my feet hurt from shoes not yet broken in From a distance, a child cries because her bare feet hurt from shoes she never had, torn and blistered
As I walk, I look to the horizon and see the sun as it meets the shoreline of the oceans majestic waters
In another land, a child sips from tainted, polluted waters of a river that's dead, without the dreams it once carried abroad
As I walk about my comfort zone, my world of music and abundant goods, of colors designed by hand and my clothes that I wear just for style, I stop and kneel and say a prayer for, my heart flys far, far away, though my feet stay put
And I ask God to take my prayer to these, far away That I cannot see, but I am aware of everyday, as I go on
As I walk, I am here, but my heart flys far, far away and I pray that atleast one small one can feel me there
Beautiful spirit and beautiful prayer... and the beauty of prayer is that YES, your and it's presence WILL be felt by someone, somewhere... and, hopefully, by more than one, if the hundredfold blessing is in operation. May your own beauty fly back to bless you, too... you "late-bloomer"! Pleased to meet you and loved your bio. Thanks for your visit to my page today. Kate x

A compassionate offering, Denise. It is impossible to "enjoy" oneself as long as one knows the suffering of another. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt offering. Love and peace to you. Regis
A poem of inspired and deeply felt compassion for the plight of children everywhere. It is so sad that we live in such times yet thank god for a creator who can restore and make beautiful again
one day! Splendid poem Denise!thank you!
These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
This exceptional book, Celebrating the Gift of Being Alive, has the perfect thoughts and words for birthdays, graduations, engagements, marriages, and any life celebration or family tradition.
"If I have to be this girl in me, Then I may as well be."
Take care
