This one from Rosalie Squires brought such a big smile that I had to pass it on.
Here’s one from last year that didn’t get much of an outing. Shouldn’t all days be special in one way or another?
Today is a quiet day
Sandwiched between yesterday’s festivities
Tomorrow’s celebrations
Today makes no demandsToday I can feel
What it is to simply
Be meExplore connections
Seek out new friendsEndless possibilities
belong to today.
Days out of time
Are a wonderful giftThey occur rarely
But, like precious pearls,
Can be strung togetherA day from childhood
A day last yearMemory
Can collect these pearls
And make from them a necklace
A life
Separate from the normA whole other life
Lived in days
Out of time.
Do you have days that are pearls?
Do you treasure the days that are somehow apart from the general bustle of every day life?
Thank you, Tim. I am honoured. And when I stop to think about it, this is one of many things special about yesterday. Mostly very little things, but special, all the same. And I might not have noticed them, cetainly wouldn’t have had the same appreciation for them, if you hadn’t drawn my attention like this.
Big smiles all round! 🙂 🙂 🙂
