at pre-dawn five am — I see…
all my faults and failures
the importance of forgiveness
precisely why I love my wife
the perfect way to let her know
the miracle of my children
how to be a better father
the power of friendship
the value in being true
how blessed I truly am
the insignificance of my problems
the wisdom of patience
why it should be embraced
the beauty of the world
the essence of it’s magic
the meaning of life
the foolishness of wasting it
…then the rising sun
obscures my clear vision
again I stumble — blindly
