This poem is a reminder about God’s careful concern for the details of each one of our lives, day to day...today...now.

...even the very hairs on your head are all numbered.
Matt. 10: 29-30

that bird matters

that tree matters that holds the weight of the bird

the nest matters because it protects and insulates

the bird feeder matters because it supplies a measure of daily seed

every leaf on that tree counts
because of the balance of CO2 and O2
taken in and breathed out
by every earthly soul i love

that shelter by the road matters
because it surrounds and keeps warm those souls
those souls i love
in the dead of winter

every car every bus every truck matters
propelling the souls from here to there
this street to that street
that road
that railway
creating a smooth path for the cars, trucks and trains
as my beloved
come and go about their lives

the space
the distance
the margin between every car truck and train
on every road and every railway counts
because it keeps them from colliding at high speed
thereby keeping intact and safe
for one more day souls i deeply love

not one bird

not one tree
one leaf
not one nest
one seed
not one home
one shelter
one road
car or bus
not one train
not one soul
ever
ever
escapes my notice
and my concern
between every line
behind every scene

child

learn to be still
learn to see me in the quiet
with your soul eyes
you will begin to feel it

you will begin to understand
