Look Another's Day Has Come Poem by James McLain

Another night is done
one lazy cricket has not gone
and it has paid the price.

Drooping heads in sleep are lifted up
it should be cooler to their touch
unseasonably is such heat the sun's
not close nor can I tell if it is far away.

To the many milky eye's raise up the dawn
where night and day grows longer in-between
respite in what some gain
hanging on to what has come and gone
with out them no one knows that it is home.
