Feet Up

For all the women,

may you have a blessed Mother's Day with feet up,

surrounded by those you love,

and JOY in a cup to cheer the day!

The Song of a Lovely Day

Of kitchen curtains blowing; of a bubbling kettle;

Of a yellow cat on a oaken settle;

Of the webs I'm brushing from a corner in the hall;

Of crimson roses climbing up a garden wall;

Of a beater whipping egg-whites to a froth;

Of a table set for tea with a linen cloth;

Of children's lilting laughter; of a broom's soft swish;

Of the first ripe strawberries in a crystal dish;

Of a morning's ironing and its crisp array-

Oh, of all the details of a lovely day,

I will make a song, dear, then when I am through

Will keep it for the singing, come evening, to you.

May it be an extra special day!

Joey soaking up the sun.
