Wing a Little Wink

Dew christens morning grass underneath my feet Chilled senses in the mist, fill of something sweet Sun teases its reveal, tempting me to pause Palms in a flurried rush offer their applause Feathered friends of every sort wing a little wink Chirpers as they like to sing, hush to take a drink Touching, as I stop to chat, flowers in a cart Lending ear to neighbor’s woes, bid to touch my heart As I walk the paths and trails that colorize my town I could not for even just one second, wear a frown Skies of blue agreeable to nature’s every whim Compliment a crystal lake inviting me to swim On my walk each morning, as I begin to shine First remember gratitude for everything that’s mine Then as every morning joy furthers into view Better am I able to love everything I do

Love that phrase, Mike. This is such an uplifting verse. You seem to be a man at peace with himself and that is so important in this fragile day and time.
