While cranking up the patio umbrella
Preparing for a brand new day
I found an unexpected friend was waiting there
Oftentimes her message represents
It’s time to take a leap
As was the case when first discovered
For that’s exactly what I did
She posed just long enough for us to get acquainted
Reminding me that I am not alone
And with God’s help we are all equipped
To always find our way
An umbrella for shelter
The ability to forage for our needs and even our desires
To be appreciated by another
And always to be ready
To take a leap of faith
