A Good Day

Let it be a good day.
Full of good news, of the sounds of the birds singing, a dog barking
A set of tires crushing against the gravel of the driveway,
letting you know your love is home

A good day
filled with the simple pleasures
with comforting rituals
the sound of the water boiling in the kettle
the smell of the coffee pouring into the cup
the clink of the spoon as it stirs the sweet poison

Let it be a good day
let yourself listen to your daughter as she tells you the same story for the fifth time
Look in her eyes and see the depth of her imagination
feel the excitement coming from her voice
grab her hands and let her feel that you are listening


Let it be a good day
Don't read the comments on the click bait posts
Don't read the comments on the Trump posts
abortion posts, immigration posts, gun posts
Don't read the posts at all

 A good day
