Right Now

Even as I sit here
And quickly type this poem
Someone else doing the same
In another simple home.

Some other girl about my age
Who stands about 5”3
Is sitting half a world away
And thinking just like me.

It’s amazing when I stop to think
Of people far away;
The significance of every moment
In their actions every day.

Right now someone is dying
And a baby is being born;
Right now a person just found God
While someone is being torn.

Just at this moment (they are so many)
A soldier saved a life;
While a family sadly mourns the loss
Of a another lost to strife.

The victories and losses
The pain and jubilee
Is constantly surrounding us
In a world that’s hardly free.

We rarely stop to notice
How the stars touch all the earth
And how the sun always shines it’s rays
On people of different birth.

As I commence my writing
I know someone is doing the same;
They’re once again about their work
And have left those thoughts that came.

I leave you to go back to life
But first I’d like to pray;
For all those about the world tonight
And that God would rule their day.


- This is definitaly NOT one of my best poems... but I haven't been writing for a while so maybe I just need to get back into it.

God bless America!

P.S. If you feel like leaving a nasty comment on my poem please feel free. I had to sit for so long just to come up with words that fit! Arg.
