Each Day

To gather your moment of laughter
Your dewdrops of sadness
Your rays of new found Being is to
Be somewhere you need to be... Each Day

But to turn the corner of life
Without looking both ways
Is to leave behind the wisdom of flowers
Ushering a different cycle of life
Where perhaps insecurity will awaken your every morning
As you cling to dream clouds
Not yet aware of their purpose
Caution’s destiny that guides you to
Be somewhere you need to be... Each Day

Oh to know the cycle
The cycle that mystery shrouds with daily fog
Even as we seek the rose beneath the density

To know and feel the sound and sight of discovery
Each time it affords the chance

To approach the unknown valleys
Beyond the corner is to
Be somewhere you need to be... Each Day

Our children
Our graduates
You are poised for the beginning of unknown days
That will become decades
That will rapidly become your time capsule
Awaiting infinity’s next time

Let not the choice of us
The we still searching among the bramble
Send you forth ignoring your own water and soil
To create the thorns that will allow your petals to
Be somewhere you need to be... Each Day
