But one chance

We are given
But one chance
To live the lives
We doTo change
The world
Around us to
Love and to learn
To serve
So why
Are we still
Sitting here
Watching lives not
Our own and
Not learning
Or growing
Becoming who
We are meant
To be

I watch the world

I watch the world
Through my window
Seeing the people and
Faces as they pass by
Yearning to join them
But somehow knowing
That I would be
Disconnected
Still behind the window
In my mind
Even if I was outside
And I would long to be
Back where my shelter was
Watching the world
Through my window
