Gratitude Journal

For every day

my family, my health, 

warm sheets, my son burying his face there

Letting go of directions, instructions, and to-do lists

which I don't do,

but want to.

Just this one time

I make an exception

to satisfy the burning beast

the vulture on the bedpost.

But I am trying 

to become the person 

I needed and satisfy

the craving for comfort and protection.
