it's like bare toes in cold mud
a kiss on your forehead when he leaves for work
white paint on denim
it's like riding a horse
fast through the wind
the sun hot on the earth
perfect paw prints on my windshield
& the healthy baby in my womb
& I get to sit here & soak it all in
this perfect life
of course there are the real times
of missing people we love
or wishing the cloud would let the sun shine again
but right now in this moment I feel overwhelmed
with my blessings & what God has gifted to me
if you ever wonder where I might be
i'm following my puppies through the woods
my kittens are following me
we stop & smell the moss poking through the snow
we stop to yell at squirrels
they yell back
sometimes we return with little treasures
other times just cold cheeks
& then on our favourite evenings
when monty isn't making us more money
then we rest
& eat snacks
the darkness hugs our little cabin
& the stringlights keep the animals company
& why do we wake up in the morning?
it must be
God, because he gave this all to us.
the little house you call home
the dreams you lose yourself in
the people that energize you
the friends that make you laugh
the adventures that make you want to go on more
the man who provides for you & loves you
& so many more things that just make you smile
these are all clues to your happiness
