Every Day. Every day.
“HELLO!”
To the light!
To the stalwart tree stand
To the neighbors across the way
To the slice of sky above
And to the smile that etches across my face
And seeps into my heart.
Every day. Every day.
Very much the same.
Yet,
So very much a “first time” sensation.
That light (sun shine or rain drops, or snow flakes, or sidewalk puddle gray)
Those trees (naked but not afraid, tiny buds of lime, lush hiding places, golden gowns)
Those neighbors (silent, but present – except for the darn dog yipping at a scrambling squirrel)
The blue, blue, blue of the sky (or early flaming sunrise, or wisps or billows or threats in the clouds)
As Miriam and Webster informs me…
“Hope – To desire with expectation of fulfillment”.
Thus, the smile that etches across my face
And seeps into my heart.
Every Day. Every day.

That was wonderful – especiallly the music video. There are still tears on my face and I don’t want to wipe them off!
Loved loved loved the video. Brought a smile to my face to start the day!
Great video! We need this! I also liked Josh Groban’s T-shirt – “Find Your Light.” Very uplifting!
Susan, what a wonderful poem of hope. “Every day. Every day. Very much the same. Yet, So very much a “first time” sensation.” May we find new hope and light on this new day!
The essence of HOPE is in this poem. Even in darker times it provides love and light. Wonderful! This guides us to open our eyes and heart.
