Cleaning Day
I think that God had intended
For Spring cleaning.
After all, he intended for doors
To light dark corners,
The spiders to spin webs
Along the walls..
The dust collecting
On the surfaces,
The bird's song
As an incentive
To keep working.
The tiny sqeak
Of cleaning windows,
The allure
Of a newly made bed,
With my puppy by my pillow...
The crisp, clean look
Of a newly painted wall,
And the soft feel
Of new carpet on your toes..
The clean smell
Of newly hung laundry,
But most of all...
I think God had intended
For Spring cleaning
As a darn good reason
To REST.
