shall begin my day
my eyes will look around
take three deep breaths
and listen for every sound
shall say my thanks to Love
and those that have shared
their heart and soul with mine
both, now in their ‘heaven’ and
those still in my world that surround
when my steps enter into the world
today, i shall smell the flower and i will
face to the west, let the wind blow the
hair on my head, witness birds and
squirrels at play, hold the hand of my love
and try, through her eyes, witness the things
that place that lovely smile on her face and i
shall gather them all in my arms like a bouquet
to show the world …when there’s Love in Life
when all is shared, makes everything okay
I love the notion of people being in their own heaven - and i love the determination of taking those breaths and seeing the better things in life

I like the way you portray a kind of centredness in the way love and kindness is experienced.
ReplyDeleteIf we all could believe in this I'm sure we would have a better world.
ReplyDeleteLove is both giving and taking, without awareness of either one,
