Nathaniel Lawrence
Seeing you there tonight reminds me of
Seeing you before,
In the cool breezy rain,
Walking with a friend,
And how happy I was to see
A friendly face . . .
Someone I’d seen before,
Someone who was committed to the
Common good, like I am . . .
And made me thankful
For things that we shared, were aware of,
Like the changing of seasons
The changing of weather,
And how everything matters,
Amongst our human community.
And that there is a Creator who started everything,
Planned for,
And gave of the earth
That we are still called to work,
To love and share and appreciate
With our family both near and far,
From here on after . . .
Like seeing you here on this corner,
Alongside irises and day-lillies
That seem to bow and nod,
As if in reverent greeting
Or sacred watchfulness.
