Gratitude

The rain held off
'til I made it to my car
a few blocks away after work.

The labs show my cough's
on a relative par
with most quirks.

My son has his head on straight
daughter is profligate
in the most beautiful way.

Their dad slowly shedding his hate
my ex-lover has a new mate
who's encouraging his feng shui.

Flowers are blooming
universe grooming
us forcefully gently for pay day.

Peace given, peace received... you know, for all the thunderbolts you occasionally like to toss about, the zappers that make me choke out a laugh, you're truly a white light girl, ain't cha? :-) Blessings and Namaste. I so enjoyed reading this.
