OH THE DAY!

 What if we said

    OH THE DAY!

and threw off our warm covers

and ran out into the snow

    barefooted

and danced until our toenails turned blue

and the snow turned to slush under our feet

and the once green grass poked through

what if we loudly proclaimed the day

    THE MOST BEAUTIFUL!

even if it is cold and grey

and the snow and rain blows around us

and the fog drifting in until it hides the tops of trees

But i stayed inside

and i was warm

my pink socks tucked into fuzzy slippers

and you're drinking the tea i made you

you like it half strength with lemon and just a whiff of honey

you're watching TV and don't know how to use the remote

 

And maybe there are not many days left like this

with you

so inside my head and on these pages i shout

    OH THE DAY!

    IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL

to spend some hours quiet with you.
