Despite sore calves
and aching feet
long hours of putting
our life into boxes
deciding at this junction
what stays and what goes,
there's big sunny windows
and almost perfect cooling.
There's curiously happy cats
and a positively spirited teenager
enjoying the lock on her door
staying awake all night
with excitement
that only summer allows,
waiting for fall
and new friends
she can invite over
to bond and giggle with
in her locked bedroom.
Meanwhile I'm celebrating
the correct choices
I seem to be making
I seem to be making
says the signs posted
along the way.
And it's his warmth
his smile
his hand on mine--
the best signs of all.
