Here We Are I never quite grew up all the way Died as a kid but then came back to stay A wild child without many dollars But with wild dogs without any collars Extracted from the ordinary To come to be extraordinarily With Marisol and Bowser as we Explore furthermore than ever before Here we are now and we know what for Is being itself doing what we can So we can say we tried anyway Being ourselves having been to be more Being two old dogs and one old man Seeing beyond what is being absurd Our snouts to the sky looking skyward Following our noses curiously Seeing faraway not being far Hoping for the best forgetting the rest Sunrising east and sunsetting west Getting to see the extraordinary Under the stars we understand how What we wonder about is here and now The faraway stars know how to be We three do too now and so here we are Steven Curtis Lance

This poem extols the virtues of appreciating the "mundane" things in life that are, in reality, bits of magic. Most people don't take the time to relax and just let it be, as expressed in your piece. Nice one!

Could be just three old dogs. And the sun certainly does seem to come up in the East and settle in the West, even though it's our earth that is turning.
