The sun is bright this
December morning. It is
Almost blinding as it
Reflects off the water
Of Lake Michigan. Eagles
Can be seen roaming the
Skies looking for potential
Food. Clouds above, so
Difficult to describe are
A bright gray streaking
Through white below a
Blue sky. The brightness
In a way, reveals our weakness
And our dependence on nature
To survive. The cold temperatures
Is sometimes frightening, but
We endure because we have
Heated homes with food and
Water. Without this protection
And allocation of supplies we
Would be at the mercy of our
Own wits. There are some who
Would survive while others would
Fall prey to the elements of nature.
We have much to be thankful for
Especially knowing that the real Light
Will overcome all darkness.
