Always Grateful

Celebrating the fact of life

with gratitude and love

• • •

Like rainbows and promises

of ever-present joy

Or baby cheeks or puppies

sunsets and rises, too

Like those and many more

I never tire of love

I’m always grateful of life

in all its parts

From the new vantage point
on the rise
as we approached the rest of the day
in chatty conversation
and non-vehement arguments
there appeared the double rich rainbow
so clear and colorful
our mouths were stilled in awe
How is it my heart remains
beating steady in my chest,
as the tears flood my cheeks?
Simple beauty…
