One day there it was.
Hope at the bird feeder.
Gratitude murmuring among
the pebbles in the brook.
Kindness waiting for me
between the sidewalk and the door.
Beauty lying on the windowsill.
Courage with one leaf
in the little blue pot on the porch.
Peace on the shelf, right beside the beans.
Happiness, just sitting there.
I guess they were there all long.
I wonder:
where was I?
