Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

take some time, get some perspective

the unfortunate reality is

the clock will keep ticking

the world will keep spinning 

the sun will keep shining

after I’m gone.

 

plants will still grow

birds will still sing

fish will still swim 

after I’m gone.

 

babies will be born

grass will be green

nothing will be different

after I’m gone.

 

Is this what you meant

when you told me

to get some

perspective?

A sun dial may measure the time of day, but like clockwork, it takes an eye to see how far the sun is from setting. True perspective well spoken with intent.

Posing more questions than it answers, but powerful nonetheless.?
