Not Unlike Today

Bradley Bates

A lady stands to receive her award,
a lady with dark hair arranged
from a time past, not unlike today,
blue skies and virtually cloudless.
Not unlike today as well for me,
a time when a heart fills with song
and remembers a friend and her
husband with a check to assist
funding an alert dog for diabetics.
A lady named Susan whose music
means the world; maybe even
a forest filling with wildflowers,
a time of empathy for us to receive
so unexpectedly a gift rising like
the moon. From a lady whose own
life is a gift and more dear
than walking under that moonlight
with hopes a smile will arise.
A song will endure,
the magic hat of significance.
