NaPoWriMo 2024 Day 5

Today NaPoWriMo.net offered a lovely poem and idea as a prompt. Isn’t it better to see the tiny good things than to not see them or worse to never see them?

How lucky I am to be able
to fill the bird feeders
while the chickadees and cardinals
whistle waiting in the shrubs.
Today I thought – how lucky
despite doing pretty menial work
I am able to stay home now
“retired” so I can paint
and spend time with my mother
I can fill the pantry and
enjoy some snacks and go out
to enjoy the clouds.
Maybe each day, I’ll
catch some words
lured by hot coffee or wine.
To every life may come some joy
small moments not always shiny
and if I’m lucky enough
I’ll get another chance
to know how each day
can be a blessing.
