Today
Puttering, knitting, cleaning the bathroom,
sweeping the kitchen floor.
Snow flurries, fingerless gloves,
a fire and toasty labrador.
A new cardigan that fits just right,
a necklace with a cause.
The second coffee of the day,
a little time to pause.
Picadillo on the stove,
shoes nowhere to be found.
Tears shed for sweet old Jack
and the world goes round and round.
XO
