Yesterday's Child

I am

Yesterday's child tying my laces

Sojourner passing through varieties of places

Individual among many in search of faces

 

I am

Tomorrow's creature home in creation

Searching long for affirmation

In a changing generation

 

I am

Today's witness to beauty on a starry night

awestruck in wonder when evening's quilt

unrolled fills summer sky

spread across God's front lawn

has a million eyes

watching

 

I am

Part of beauty seldom seen

Part of mystery never understood

Part of silence finding voice.

I am

Humanity trying to get it right
