Glory

Do not take glory from conquests and wins

Or climbing stairways into ivory towers.

Rather, take glory in Mother Nature’s work

And glorious sunrises and sunsets.

Oh those sun-down colours: reds and golds,

Deep purples backed by azure blue hues.

Every sunset unique

Like every swirl of clouds.

Yes every sky is different.

My mind makes pictures from those clouds

Except on days of formless, fathomless mists.

Beneath these skies

We have a lovely vista

Of trees and savannah.

Satellites show us a wondrous world

Full of amazing sights.

But best of all we have

People

And animals

Of all kind.

Folks with whom to share

This glory

The real glory,

Every day we waken

To greet the new bright day.
