Priorities

I try to stretch into my life,

to catch a ride on a cloud,

smooch a child,

digest a delicious meal,

lengthen a muscle deeply in a hot room,

stroke my husband’s back,

taste ice-cold water from a spring,

feel my skin,

show someone love until it aches in my heart,

loan something to a neighbor,

give something away I still like.

Be me.
