When its pitch dark after supper And you find yourself wanderin’ home You know you should just keep going But you don’t always want to be alone That’s just the right reason I guess To help us all understand A special moment to gather And stand tall among each other This special bond of patriotism Never gathered never learned Still just as important as ever A lifestyle we were born I love the ways the stars appear Each and every night If I could just paint better Than I could describe whatever I would behold something beautiful As only life we can give to each other One life one world one generation We cannot behold to time What belongs to us What we wake up with every morning What is betrayal as sins against us What we endear to learn foreboding What we encounter every day What we have courage to defend To engage and construct a step forward We must never disengage each other Togetherness makes us strong

I like this and the way it's written, even if it's political!

Hi Chris I hope you are well Thanks for sharing this beautiful thought provoking and comforting poem which is a great reminder of what is important, of real value in life, things we may at times take for granted like the nature that surrounds us, family, friends and a sense of belonging, feeling valued and being able to be part of a caring community, to give as well as to receive the blessings that unity can bring
Hi, Yankee4you, When its pitch dark after supper... Since it's dark before supper these days, I have decided to look more at the moon and stars and hold onto the promise of the sun rising tomorrow—and marvel. Until this pandemic is behind us, in order to stand together we must stand 6 feet apart and masked. In doing so, however, We must never disengage each other Togetherness makes us strong . Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. Stay well.
