Not quite a hymn

The day was bright and beautiful.

My family great and small.

Conversation wise and wonderful.

I got to enjoy them all.

Days like these remind me...remind me of the world.

Remind me of magic carried in pockets.

And the wonder around every corner.

The snoring of the dogs.

The capers of the cats.

The giggling of the baby.

My daughter running laps.

She told me her sandwich was a blueberry.

He told me the clouds were planes.

His blue eyes exact as the sky.

All of these made me laugh today.

On a day I felt ready to cry.

And I go to sleep with a smile on my lips.

Dreaming of nothing but grinning loved ones...and maybe of pie.

Mmmm....blueberry pie.
