70 days of gratitude on the wall vs corner view...

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

  2. I 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...
