The sun rises painting as it comes into view,<\/p>\n
pinks and oranges announces its coming.<\/p>\n
A breeze stirs all shades of green leaves into quivering dances.<\/p>\n
I breathe it all in.<\/p>\n
My children come loping down the stairs,<\/p>\n
Saturday!\u00a0 Time to play!<\/p>\n
They grab their bikes up before breakfast and take off for grand adventures.<\/p>\n
I breathe it all in.<\/p>\n
My husband brings the coffee,<\/p>\n
He sits beside me smiling,\u00a0 “this is the life” he says,<\/p>\n
There seems to be nothing wrong in the whole world looking from our point of view.<\/p>\n
I breathe it all in.<\/p>\n
I grab a pen and the coffee seems to have stirred my soul,<\/p>\n
Or was it my husbands hand on mine?\u00a0 Or the children laughing?<\/p>\n
Either way I feel the writer in me live.<\/p>\n
I set the pen to page and let out the breath.<\/p>\n
Then read it back and breathe it all in again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
