The sun rises in my day
and I s-t-r-e-t-c-h
to feel life flow through
my body.
Coffee perks,
as the oven heats 400F
and little hands mix
breakfast into greased trays.
Steam rises
off soapy body,
as I wash yesterday
down the drain.
Now,
pray sunshine
brighten sandal-clad feet
as we face the day a-fresh today.
i hope your day is marvelous...

ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for all the visits! Murray, I am ecstatic to see you! Wonderful for you to come by and visit Maggie and Tara. I hope you are well Elizabeth. Jingle, you are again a super-star. I thought you were out of town for the weekend taking a break/breather? Welcome home and thank you again for your awards. I had a marvelous day that just got better. :) I hardly want it to end, but there is one more day left of this long weekend to enjoy. Happy Victoria Day all (Canuck Memorial day for my US fans).
