Song of Us
“One way or another, we all have to find what best fosters the flowering of our humanity in this contemporary life, and dedicate ourselves to that.” – Joseph Campbell
Under a magnificent autumn sky
lives people,
people that
feed the hungry,
adopt and save animals,
visit and care for the elderly,
read to children in libraries,
help their neighbors with their lawncare
when their neighbors are suffering from cancer,
people who volunteer at animal shelters,
stand up for a child that is being bullied,
try to save the environment,
take a meal to a neighbor in need,
keep bees,
give their seat on a bus to a pregnant woman,
take a bullet for their law enforcement co-worker,
take a teen under their wing and love them,
babysit for a young couple so they can have a night out,
plant gardens to beautify and to feed,
feed the cats in the alley,
comfort a dying dog,
play with puppies at the shelter,
teach children how to read,
teach adults how to read,
bake something for the church or school bake sale,
call the police when there has been an accident,
try to do the right thing by all people,
share love and happiness with all…
this is the song of us.

I LOVE this song of us….that is the wonder of life…that in the midst of so much that is wrong, we have so many doing all they can to help and comfort others. A wonderful poem, Toni!

Thank you for this lovely comment Wendy. I looked up at the sky today and this poem came to me. I hope a similar song comes to all of us.

Indeed, we need someone to sing the song of us and remind the world that the horrible ones in the headlines are still the minority.
Oct 21, 2019 @ 00:36:37
We are the majority and we need to remember that.
