how to start the day

just for today, let’s

glory in the little

 

things,

 

swing as if our sky

doesn’t know

a hint

 

of night,

 

trip on daisies,

petal-clouds

 

of white,

 

fall down softly, dizzy,

with me

 

slide your fingers

across my lips

 

return to me

a hungry

 

kiss

  4. Noticing the little things, the interesting things, the fun things, the odd things, makes every day a little bit better. Love the nun.
