A poem a day for 2013 - day 312 - Gratitude

I am thankful for this day
Waking up this morning in my mother's home
Her bed
We listen to books
We share ideas about our own
We hear characters and match them to actors
Who should play the bad wolf, the naughty child
The fat man with the whiskers
We have a part for everyone

We know how much our weekend words matter
What face time means
Do you
Do you know what it means to forgive
To friend
To love
To mistake and move on
Do you know
Do you know how to family
To tether yourself to love
