On the move again
Grateful for this place
All the beautiful places we have been
Still, it is hard to pick up and leave again
New destination is set
A beautiful part of the state
Awaits exploration
Yet, I am tired
I’m no spring chicken
Packing up and cleaning up
Take a lot of energy
Asking for courage
To take a new unknown path
Ready for whatever lies ahead
May I not waste my small sufferings
On self pity
Praying helps
Remembering those
Forced to flee their homes
Those who have no houses
No place to lay their heads
Instead of self pity
I choose gratitude and hope
I will be open
To hear and to see
The beauty
The messages
The lessons waiting for me
Around the corner
Just ahead
