Awake

I could be anywhere in the world,
But I have the privilege
Of being here.

I want to never shut my eyes
To the glory all around me.

I wonder if the secret to life
Is to remain alert,
Eyes wide open
to love, goodness, beauty
to humanity
	to all that life throws our way.

To fight to not look away
Even when it is so tempting.
To keep our eyes peeled
In all gritty hope.

To stay awake to it all.
