There are so many things in this world to see

Most of it seem beautiful and interesting to me

As I travel around, I try not to swerve

From all that there is to think on and observe

So many lessons – most good – left to learn

Others still that leave their slow sort of burn

All of which teach me how to discern…

Even if.. I am slow on the uptake to learn

From time to time and I photograph on a walk

I have seen what I swear is animals that talk

What I’ve learned most and best is how to listen

To all that’s about and what most are missing

And that from listening and seeking to understand

We all might walk together toward a better land
