Daylight & Evening Sense Poem by Richard Provencher

Heads bow in supplication
prayers heard by the One above

grace for Aunt Tammy's arthritis,
mercy for nephew George
that his cold be erased

and a job for our neighbour. Mike's
family in dire straits,
food not so plentiful these days -

We arose after early breakfast, a
daily walk health's plan. Then
shopping - - from our
apartment to Sobey's grocery

a total of six blocks; twenty
minutes - - 4,281 steps.

Friends read at the Library
Beth needs a coffee,
coins handling the transaction.

The food store greets
our wallet - - bread, ice cream
some other groceries. Somehow
the day ends, with a lasting

memory. Journey turns
to twilight; later nightly prayers.
