Through your eyes

Poetry challenge

Day 10

I wonder how last night’s sleep clings to you as you arise.

Is it a heavy unloading released through multiple sighs?

I wonder what your morning coffee tastes like to you.

Is it bitter or sweet? Or a combination of the two?

I wonder what goes through your mind as you prepare for the day.

Is it filled with lists and “to-dos”, as they say?

I wonder what your shoes feel like on your feet?

Do you feel ready to face whatever obstacle you meet?

I wonder what music you play on your drive.

Does it relax you, or wake you and make you feel alive?

I wonder what you think about in the course of your day.

Do you see God working in a thousand small ways?

I wonder what you feel when you come home.

Are you greeted with family and a sense of shalom?

I wonder how you see your family inside.

Do we fill you with joy and a deep sense of pride?

I wonder what helps you quiet your mind.

Do you search for ways to leave the hard things behind?

I wonder what fills your heart with delight.

Is it going to bed with a sense of purpose each night?

These are just some of the things that I wonder.

And on these things I’ll continue to ponder.

But I think, if I could,

I would be surprised

If just for one day

I saw life through your eyes.
