What Would I Miss?
Teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart.
Psalm 90:12
I would miss the blue heron  
who goes about his day by
a very busy highway that is always
taking people somewhere else. 
I would miss hearing
 the whispered prayers of
 yes, and thank you, and silence.  
I would miss the resurrection  
of greetings and hand holding,
 singing of God and Jesus
and the love in every day.
I would like to think 
as a blue heron, 
I would not miss much.
Yet, like that blue heron,
I often do.
