JUST SOMETIMES

Sometimes,
just sometimes,
I am able
to find the words
to express what
happens to be
within my heart
at the moment.

I find myself arriving
to each new day at dawn
with a sense of anticipation
of what I might find
just around the corner
of my mind
and my heart,
fully realizing,
as I’ve become so very aware,
especially over the past few years,
of how each day is a precious gift
not to be squandered.

For we are so very fragile
in every way,
our physical well-being,
our emotions,
the world around us,
our place in it,
who we are
and what we have been
and who and what
we will become.

As strong as I can believe I am,
I know as well that
I am equally vulnerable,
every part of me,
and each day reminded
in what I hear,
in what I see,
in what I feel
that my life
can change its course
in a split second
or less,
and without
any warning
at all.

And I can only remain thankful
for each moment I have,
treasured gifts each one,
and make the best of them.
