Caught by my eyes
Like dewdrops on a spider web
Were today’s beautiful jewels:
A fern curled against a backdrop of vermillion tulips
A rock wall clearly crafted with love and art
Water droplets on a leaf
Apple blossoms on a branch
My mother
My sister
Lilacs just emerging
The grey hair and green eyes of my husband
Orioles, feasting on my crabapple blossoms
Carolina wren, singing to me and no one
Succulent roses
A little free library, dressed in red and draped in history
My child at the stove, making me breakfast
My son’s curls, as he snuggled beneath my covers to say good morning
An accounting of heartbeats
A tally of love
Many beautiful bits
To fill my day
