Today, the One and Only

Brown grass yesterday, it seems, green

grass today. Lavender buds on the Dog-

wood out back beside the patio.

Birds of course, cheerful and singing their

morning song. A slight briskness yet

to the air.

Sun rising, sky deep blue and fair. Come

to think of it, had I not been paying attention,

I may have missed the point of all this.

For me at least, it took some 72-years for

this day to get here, one of a kind, I figure.

It’s about time.
