“You too?”
She asked Ruth.
“How do your poems
start out?”
“They start as
a lump in the throat,”
she said.

Poem:
.
today is a happy day
why ? ? ?
because my attitude said so
a decision to go with the flow
today is a glorious day
why ? ? ?
because my Higher Power made it that way
it even gets better when I pray
today is a perfect day
why ? ? ?
because my God doesn’t make any junk
even better since I stopped getting drunk
today is a beautiful day
why ? ? ?
beauty is in the eye of the beholder
the Pieta was carved from a marble boulder
today is a magnificent day
why ? ? ?
because the Great Creator gave us words
spectacular, impressive, striking, glorious, superb,
majestic, awesome, breathtaking, splendiferous
today is a wonderful day
why ? ? ?
because it is my day and that’s the way I want it
hope you can do the same for your day
