Somewhere,
a child is being born,
the baby takes its first breath,
the father holds his son.
Somewhere,
a person is dying,
it’s painful and slow,
they are filled with sorrow.
Somewhere,
someone is swimming,
playing in the water,
on a warm sunny day.
Somewhere,
people are fighting,
and plotting against each other,
some plots will succeed.
Somewhere,
a mother sits alone,
missing a child,
who hasn’t called.
Somewhere,
people are laughing,
telling funny jokes,
and smiling wide.
Somewhere,
a marriage is ending,
one partner doesn’t want it to,
they are devastated.
Somewhere,
good food is being served,
it tastes delicious.
Just the right amount of spice.
Somewhere,
a person is crying,
they feel alone,
they want someone to care.
Somewhere,
a pet has found a home,
in a happy family,
for the long haul.
Somewhere,
a person is being hurt,
they are helpless.
It is tragic.
Somewhere,
the sun is setting,
and it is beautiful.
Elsewhere it rises.
Somewhere,
a man is proposing,
the woman saying yes,
they will be happy.
Somewhere,
a child takes their first steps.
Mom and dad watch,
and take pictures.
Somewhere,
I know all these things are true,
in the wide world,
of so many people.
