25 words: Stare and Wonder



Hungry morning.
I look out my window yearning.
I see a sky offering food for my soul.
I stare. I wonder.

How did it know?

Wow!

Powerful little poem.

I feel the same way
when I look out my window
and see the water
constantly changing color

as a parade of boats passes by
I hear a lone seagull cry
and my heart answers

Food for the soul. A wonderful thought! Blue Popsicles? Cotton Candy and Lemon Drops? What a great way to start your day!

sky and i
same sigh
sometimes a cry

wondering why we are so far apart

Gregory,
You're not as far as you're thinking.
Listen harder while you're looking.

Dr. John!
You made my day by saying that!

Two lists to live by: "absolutely MUST have in life" and "absolutely NOT OK".

Must have: 20 laughs per day, fun challenges, 25 words (smile)
