We have a limited number
of days here on earth.
This thought struck me
as I walked out into
a sparking spring morning.
Wispy clouds dust
a peach-colored sky.
Robins rest on tree branches,
and daffodils dot the border garden.
No matter what the day holds,
I know setting the right intention…
can make all the difference.
Perhaps I can tattoo
a reminder on my brain?
Maybe I need a daily nudge
to help me live
each day
to overflowing?
Or
maybe I just need to
look up from my life
to see all I will be missing.

Good reminder! This poem feels very reflective. I feel like I am right there with you, walking to school and ruminating.

Exquisite word play, alliteration, and observations.
Favorite line is-
“Perhaps I can tattoo
a reminder on my brain?”
The the reminder to look up is essential.
