Without Second Thought...

"What are you doing", asked Matt as I stayed my post at the east window. 

"I'm hoping the sun will come up", I replied...and for sixty glorious seconds it did!!

We put bread in our mouths

And shoes on our feet

We gaze at the ways of

Life’s everyday street

We touch, taste and traverse

What blessing has wrought

We walk through dawn’s doorway

Without second thought

…we pour second coffees

We gaze far and wide

We dream and we worry

As seasons collide

In moments soft-falling

Like leaves through the air

We trample time’s grasses

And sample its fare

While God rich in mercy

Fills in all the blanks

When we are so busy

We forget to give thanks
