Todays Bouquet

It’s a blessed day when I wake in the morning and I can get myself up make some tea and toast or maybe a pot of strong coffee to wash the cobwebs away It’s a wonderful day when I settle down to write and words gather themselves together to hang like leaves on a tree a complement to the graceful trunk bring my thoughts to live in rich harmony It’s a joyous day when friends come to share time a meal and a glass of wine laughter curls around with aromas of each person mingled to taste decadent like chocolate upon your plate It’s a grateful goodnight as I pull down the bed’s cozy covers rest my body against the deeds of the day count blessings gathered in my bundle a memory bouquet holding the day’s petals as the promise of tomorrow is never guaranteed 5-23-2022
