at first
i thought
i would write
about
traveling the world
then i thought
perhaps
i should honor
the memory of
my daddy
who
each year
on his birthday
or christmas
asked for
peace
in the world
then i thought
what if
each of us who
share our
lovely
corner view
took a
step back
from
our corner ?
or maybe
a step
forward
we might see
something
very different
dirty dishes?
unpaid bills?
broken hearts?
a woman
i love
a childhood friend
a baker of beautiful cakes
a 'blogger'
who
makes me laugh
and
shares with me
her little corner
took
one
small
step
and perhaps
uncovered the key
to my daddy's dream
and mine
i think
perhaps
one small step
away from my corner
could be
as they say
one
giant leap
for
mankind
after
the sort of
shift
laura made
one might feel
a tad less fear
to think of
realizing
their dream
and we all
might find ourselves
a tad bit closer
to
realizing
my daddy's
so what is
the key?
i will
hand you a tissue
take a step back
and let
roger
tell you

ReplyDeleteI saw your masthead picture and didn't think there could be anything else more beautiful than that image.... until I read your posts. You are an exquisite writer. I am so happy I came over here from elizabeth's blog...
