Let me savor this day
bills, pills, homework,
dirty dishes, deadlines.
Let me savor each breath
Let me stay kind, patient.
Come death, I will wish
for one more ordinary day.
Yes, an ordinary day is just fine. I think I appreciated them...until I lost them..but I appreciate them even more now in retrospect. For months now I have wished for just one more 'ordinary day.' Maybe I will write a poem about THAT.

ReplyDeleteI know Mary. You were my inspiration for this poem. you probably know that. I hope you write your oem about wishing for one more ordinary day.
ReplyDeleteThis is a plain and simple prayer---to me. Heartfelt and essential. Thank you
ReplyDeleteA prayer for everyone. I will remember it. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHeard Mary Oliver last night, she too writes of appreciating ordinary days. I appreciate your poems.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think you are right. Given the end we would ask for one more ordinary day. I love these ordinary days.
