recalling my riches
the riches of any given day
this day, for example:
-listening to the story of Joseph's dreams, his ornamented robe,
the fierce love of his father.
-laughing at the wit of Sherlock Holmes
-letting the whipping wind part my hair every which way
while I drive to the grocery store.
-lifting chunks of thatched grass from my garden
while field sparrows dip and dive over my head.
-looking on as #1 daughter rolls out tortillas.
-licking my fingers after snitching some cake.
(lemon-topped with whipped cream frosting.)
-leaving a theater audition to dash off to a concert hall,
all for the love of music.
-learning how audaciously loud some of my young friends are at the dinner table.
the riches of any given day
are mine to hold
for as long as I like.
