Jumping For Joy On Winter's Day

Jumping for joy on winter’s day
Forgetting I need an inhaler
Hoping to glean a healthy way
I refuse to be a wailer.

Mind over matter works for me.
I talk myself out of wheezing.
When the cold snow surrounds each tree
Even when the weather is freezing.

I in no way have to meddle
On this glorious winter day of gray.
Sit on a bench and quickly settle,
Listening to the caw of cloud’s bluest jay.
