April 1: What got you here?
here i sit
listening to
“so now you know you got a ‘G’ ”
music lessons
wondering exactly
how did i arrive
at this spot of
hearing
a too loud piano
sleepily drinking my
coffee
and typing worrying
over doing my
homework.
it is more than the
vehicle that travelled
the winding road
over the flooding
river.
i remember warmth
of love one night
long ago as we
weathered another
storm and mourned
the loss of another
one
but in the loss
we created a moment
of joy that led to
an even bigger
joy.
so no matter how
many flooding rivers
i have to cross or
how much bad
music
i must hear
it is all counted joy.
