fifty-three


“This is the day that the Lord has made;
    let us rejoice and be glad in it.”  Psalm 118:24

skateboarding or
sledding down hills;
cups of tea and long books
or binge-watching new shows;
sunrises over the mountains
or beach sunsets at dusk;
chasing the dog through woods
or curling up with the cat for a nap;
tears cascading at gravesides
or selfies with the new baby,
may
we jump up and down with joy
in the gifts of this day
