I awoke this morning to the dog scratching at the door,
It’s too early ..
I am too tired ..
I arise, achy and sore,
fingers on my right hand, barely able to move
a speckling of cuts decorate my skin
the tip of my bent finger is numb
I don’t have to go to work today,
sweet relief ..
so instead, I inhale comforting aromas
welcome the warm embrace of my chair
and sit with my coffee and book
as the morning unfolds
my heart is light
the warm water of the shower
starts to soothe sore muscles
melts the stiffness away
to a gentle bending
of fingers
kindness returns
gracious gratitude starts to swell
my thoughts now turn to you my friend
and I’m wondering how you are
are you healing, are you happy
are you kind
when it hurts to move
will you feel … Love
and to you my friend, – to you,
because I know sometimes it hurts – to move
will you feel … possibility
and also to you
as you carry the heavy burden of work you may not choose
is it weighing you down
can you find … Joy
and you,
dear friend – I still feel the sadness of losing someone
but I see you do too
can you find … Comfort
and to you
Can you feel a connection,
is there kindness and caring
and grace
In all of this
I can feel my kind heart
in all of this,
I can feel your heart too
and I am .. Thankful
and this is to you
as you are my friend,
I hope you have found yourself in here somewhere
as I Am thinking of you today
and wishing you
Kindness and Love
Comfort and Joy
and gracious Gratitude
to surround you
always
and this is from me
to you,
my friend ♥
