The City Mind

The sequence of schedules
pass each other by,
on the city streets no one is waiting

Inside the mind too
is a busy day,
always a way to do want

Still
in the ground a flower is
waiting to be watered and thrive

Yet secreted are the answers
to the nutrients ingredients?
Out in the open they stand!
The short list of groceries to spare
the few simple moments at hand
"Here I am!" It shouts from the rooftops
Ever longing
You know it everyday

Just like the rich that pass
the shiny pennies on the pavement.
we resist earning love
and choose self which in time will fade -
we are again left feeling empty and alone

God redeem us
and remind us
remind us of you
Remind us and do not let me forget
you made it our choice but I give it all to you
