Minnie Plush Toy

Could not sleep,

so, I set out on a dawn walk.

Night owl that I am,

this is rare.

The eastern sky was reddish,

crows were flying.

birds were chirping,

the world was still sleeping,

not much human activity.

I saw something pink

atop the mailbox.

I went to check,

s Minnie plush toy,

a paper tag stuck on it.

It read:

“I am Minnie. I love pink and bows.

I need a new home

where we can have adventures.”

I got it home,

my kids will embrace it.

a gift from early morning

and mindfulness.

Kindness and sharing,

from a stranger

I will cherish, as long as I can.
