These are the Days I Live For
Finding light right where I am
These are the days I live for
windows open, leaves dancing in the wind
the light reflecting on the dogwood blooms and redbuds
squirrels scurrying up trees amid a chorus of birdsong.
These are the days I live for
filling water bottles and packing bags
chopping veggies and stirring spaghetti sauce
doling out snacks and helping with math homework.
friends ringing the doorbell to play
walks through town greeting neighbors.
These are the days I live for
reading in the car pick-up line
smiling faces and backpacks piling in the car
simultaneous stories from school:
Guess what?
Can we go to the park
You won’t believe what happened
I finished my book.
These are the days I live for
surrounded by books on the couch
UNO at the dining room table
dinner together
catch in the front yard.
These are the days I live for
stringing words one after another
weaving stories and sharing hope
finding solace in a novel.
These are the days I live for
over and over
the ones right in front of me
mine for the taking
living for the days with the ones I love.
