Daylight and Evening Sense
by Richard L. 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,
his family in dire straits
food not so plentiful these days.

Both arose after breakfast, a
daily walk part of life's
journey. From apartment to
Sobey's grocery

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

Friends wave along the way, by
the Library steps
Beth huddles with a coffee
a Toonie handled the transaction

and Ralph at his usual hangout,
captured by Timmy Donuts.

The Grocery store accepts
our Wallet -- bread, ice cream
part of the groceries and somehow
the day ends, with a lasting

memory. Day's journey turns
to twilight and night-time prayers.
