It's time for some #MondayMotivation! Here's a poem I wrote about looking for the good things in life. Have a happy Monday!
Cake and Cardboard
I can measure all I've lost
in storage units
and countless cardboard boxes
and garbage bags
but I can measure all I've gained
in a full heart
and a fuller life
in a home-icinged cake
with the words
'will you marry me?'
in black
and a house with
real doors
and working light switches
that we can call home.
I can measure all I've lost
in scars cut
into my body and
deeper into my soul
but I can measure all I've gained
in fewer black dots
on my mood tracker
and more pink ones.
I can measure all I've lost
in the blank spots in my memory
that I don't think
will ever be filled in
but I can measure all I've gained
in the brightness of my loves
calling me home after
a long day.
I think I'd rather do that.
