We watched the sun rise on the west coast of Florida
over a landscape vast and wide
Then we drove 200 miles across the state
to watch it set on the other side.
This morning we watched it rise again
200 miles away from our home by car
And I thought isn’t it amazing how the sun rises
on all of us
no matter who we are?
Each morning without a doubt in her mind
she rises and our day begins…
She doesn’t care about our nationality,
our religion
or the color of our skin.
She doesn’t care about our sexual preferences
if we are athletic,
coordinated
or lame.
Every morning without fail…
she rises just the same.
She doesn’t care if we’re fat
or thin,
if we’re tiny,
blind,
deaf
or tall
When she rises she doesn’t seem to care
what any of us look like at all
Perhaps the sun is sending us a message…
as sunrise after sunrise we see…
If she can rise above all our differences
Perhaps she’s saying…
so can’ we.
