“Open Air Stairs”
November 20th, 2024
a daily photo from joshua l. smith
Yesterday, on my walk through Elgin with a friend, I photographed this same scene; but I already had a monochrome for yesterday, so Sarah and I went back tonight to capture the scene again for today’s monochrome.
There are days
When I wonder if I have done enough.
There are days
When I wonder if I can take any more.
There are days
When I want to tell my daughters that it will all be ok;
There are days
When I wonder if that is a lie.
There are days
When I want to crawl in a hole and hide.
There are days
When I am so angry that I lash out at others.
There are days
When I know that I can help someone else;
There are days
When I wonder if it matters.
There are days
When I can’t take any more “news”;
There are days
When I wonder how others can.
There are days
When I want to fight;
There are days
When I know that I can’t.
There are days
When I know that I can do better.
There are days
When I know that my actions matter.
There are days
When I know that others care.
There are days
When I know that a hug will make a difference.
This is one of those days.
