I’d love to one day sit

And look out from my balcony

With the contented joy

Of someone greeting the entire world

Welcome, happiness

Welcome, sadness

Welcome, unexpected guest

Let me make you some tea

I know we are all here for a minute

And I know that to enjoy this minute

I should do well to welcome it fully

And let it be what it is

So I can be what I am

Just this minute

I am welcoming a desire

To one day look from the balcony

And be content

And in this minute

I am noticing

How fortunate it is

To still be able to look at all

And I am content

And in this minute

I am noticing

How fortunate it is

To still be able to look at all

And I am content
