Do you understandthat it matters?All the same, it does.You were myvery own mysterybut then youbecame my door--as eternal as theuniverse itself.   My eyes widenedwith intrigue.Don't forget,I know my place,life,a metal tongue,keeping me on the edge,reminding me thatsometimes it can becold and demanding.Did you ever experiencea White Christmas?A child's smile?The first warm day in spring?The kind of day thatgrasps hope in its palm.That's what it was likewhen I realized that it allmay really be all right. ____________________________Photo Credit: Photo by Benjamin Lambert on Unsplash
