What a Wonderful World...

A few minutes earlier,
A pain shot through
Memories unwanted
Feelings, old and new

Riding back
An old man on the road
Stops and picks up a pup
Maybe it was gesture of the old
But it touched a chord

Made me think
Of all the things we miss
Caught up in our problems
Thinking of things amiss

The beauty of a full moon
The smell of wet earth after the first rain
An infant smiling that toothy smile
A gesture of a stranger with nothing to gain

You may curse the selfishness or the evil in the world
But the truth remains
If you want to see it
It is a wonderful world.
