Miracles

Loving this.
Sharing for you all ...

Life

is a series

of a thousand

little miracles.

Notice them.

Embrace them.

Absorb them.

Share them.

Good Tenant

No one to acknowledge for this.
There are so so so so many people
that need to read this ...
sometimes multiple times ...

and I hope it helps ...

Do not let anyone

rent a space

in your head,

unless they are 

a good tenant.

Tiny

Not sure who the penned this,
but very aware of the author.

I love places

that make you realize

how tiny

you and your problems

really are.

Enjoy your day

and all its blessings.

Shine

Without anyone to properly credit,
I am simply sharing.

It is not

in just one way

that you shine ...

but ...

a million little ways

that you light up

the world.

A Dog upon a Chain

 Written for so so so so many reasons ...

A Dog upon a Chain

by Lyn Marinello

 

Here I am, the chained up dog, my yard’s grass is worn beneath.

I may bark and I may growl, but I rarely bare my teeth.

I am fiercely loyal; a staunch protector of my pack.

Seldom the aggressor, but when provoked, I will attack.

I will raise my hackles. I might race til the links may break.

My conviction to my owner is the only thing at stake.

I may occasionally get loose and wander from my domain,

But I will always come back home to the security of my chain.

I am often times permitted to sit upon the shaded deck,

Or offered up an outing, a companion on your trek.

I am fed enough to stay, scratched sporadically behind an ear.

I may seem mostly docile but am alert to those who near.

I exist on minimal praise; or a much appreciated treat.

I sit ready, tail a-wagging, dutifully at your feet.

I embrace my boundaries though they’re not always clear.

I may test my tether’s limits but my devotion is sincere.

I am eager to obey commands, though I scratch and sometimes dig.

I’ll bring back the entire branch when you’ve only thrown a twig.

I am at my most content with purpose unrestrained.

I am just a steadfast hound, tied up here, upon this chain.

Whatcha think?
