The simple things 

We do

Can give some 

Semblance of order

In our lives

- – -

Do you feel

That you have to drink

A glass of wine

Every day with a meal?

- – -

Do you somehow believe

That eating an apple

A day keeps the doctor away?

This is an old saying 

But still seems to work 

With some people

- – -

Do you pray daily

Seeking divine protection

And perseverance

In the face of your struggles? 

- – -

How thrilling you feel 

When you cuddle with a loved one

On a winter’s night!

- – -

How wonderful it is

To go on long walks in the woods

Or work out at your local gym!

Making that trip to work

On the freeway

And observing

The orderly flow of traffic

Becomes mesmerizing

Knowing that you are

One of these travellers

- – -

Witnessing

The dawning of a new day

The setting of the sun

And the rising of the moon

On the horizon are

Thrilling

- – -

The revelatory appearances

Of rainbows after rainstorms

The coming of the four seasons

And these sensations

Conjure lasting impressions

- – -

These are some

Of the celestial blessings

That touch our lives

Daily shaping
