Lucky Me Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

The air is calm and I see treetop contours
I do not see towering green dinosaurs
The sun is rising, dismissing the threat of downpours
Today I’ll go for a walk free of carnivores

Thank goodness my thoughts are not consumed with gore
I live in a village where threats are far from my door
I am free to breathe fresh air and think like a philosopher
Not to walk in fear of hungry predators on all fours
I am fortunate and couldn’t ask for more
