The View from Here

I awoke to a gentle rain,

the patter of fairy feet upon the roof.

Birds singing their welcome to the morning, the distant rumbles as the city emerges from its slumber.

Such comfort it all brings to me in my warm cocoon;

cozy bed, sleeping husband, gentle, snoring dog.

Another day to greet with anticipation, to seek out the joy in each fleeting moment.

So much gratitude for so many blessings;

Where to begin?
