Thoughts During a Concert

(for Shaye)

The voices brought me to tears,
I have heard great music.
I have seen great art,
And thrilled at others' genius,
Sat in awe of athletic skill,
And dancers' graceful motions.

And I have see others' triumphs,
Towers built into the sky,
Rockets launched into the heavens,
Highways that cross continents.

And acts of kindness,
Crossing borders and generations,
Tiny gestures of love and care,
Have also brought me to tears.

I have seen beauty, mercy,
Justice, love, and kindness.
I am blessed, truly blessed.
