Regardless

Regardless of what I think,
the sun is still in the sky,
a bird flies somewhere,
and fish swim in the ocean.
It’s not about me.

And regardless of how I feel,
someone is born
and someone dies;
Somewhere someone laughs
at a joke and a baby takes her
first steps. It’s not about me.

And regardless of my fear
about the future, my anger
over betrayal, my longing for
days that were simple and
granite strong, regardless,
little drops of Love cause
walls to collapse and
mountains of hate to erode
and vanish. Regardless.
It’s not about me.

There is Something bigger
than my small doubts,
stronger than my weaknesses,
wiser than my diplomas and
momentary insights. Regardless
of the day, Dawn comes and I
know I am loved. And so are
you.
