A
Woodsman's Reflection
Comes
the morning light and I sit alone…
Whether
I am watching the waves roll upon the beach…
Or,
the sun rise over a mountain ridge…
This
is the time of day…
Which
is all my own…
For
in this time of peace…
I
come to know myself…
The
love I have shared…
Or,
the loneliness I have felt…
It
is my time to take stock in where I have been…
To
decide if I have brought happiness to others…
Or,
only to myself…
Is
my life one that has caused others to smile…?
Or,
brought them only pain…
As
we leave our footprints on the earth…
We
need to take stock, for we are accountable!
It
is better to go unseen, than to harm others…
I
often wonder after the feelings of those I have touched…
Are
they happy in having seen me…?
Or,
wished they had gone untouched…
So
the sun does rise and so do I…
And,
it is a new dawn…
