Days pass quickly.
Who can keep up?
We struggle to
catch a breath
as we search
frantically
for a moment
of calm.
I wonder how
lives are lived
in other places,
other planets
and other
galaxies.
Is there
any place
where lives
are valued?
Despite our
blunders,
life on Earth
continues,
proof that
God believes
there’s hope
for us.
