Welcome Bliss
There is joy when beginning a new day,
flowers opening their hearts,
evening dew drying in first sunlight,
giggles of children playing in parks,
and lovers gone back to their spaces.
Think of your spirit—
a source which grounds you each morning
and never forget to honor with thanks—
then walk to your kitchen
and thank piles of food on your table
and your marriage to survival.
And before you go, let me remind you
to thank all those who you meet today
as it might be your last chance and theirs too.
I learned during my childhood
joy and thanks must be shared
today and always remembered
in the beginning of a day.
