arrival
today is the day of my arrival.
i am coming into this life in love
and with enthusiasm.
today is the day that i choose to be kind.
not because i have to
but because i know that She would want that for me.
today is the day
that the little toad makes it
across the road and finds a home
within the lily pads and clovers.
not every day is good
or pleasant
or full of bright orange sunsets.
but i can learn to be kind, i suppose.
whatever that means.
