I Look Up, Look Up. And Cry.

by Jon Katz
Look Up, Look Up

If you turn off the cell, and the TV and leave the computer behind.

And take yourself into the deep woods, and look up.

You might cry, as I did today,

for the colors in the world.

for the people in love.

for the flowers that bloom.

for the babies born.

for the creatures we love,

for the things we learn,

for the chance to change,

and the stories we tell

and the crops rising up.

for the birds that sing

for the hope in hearts

for the spirits unbroken

for the light that shines,

for the songs that are sung,

and the walks that are taken,

hand in hand,

with hearts still open,

to the joy of living

one more day.

Look up,

Look up,

and cry.
