My Ordinary Way- a poem

I woke and cleaned my house today,

And then I paid a bill.

I took my dog out for a walk,

The weather gave a chill.

IT’S funny, as I moved along

My ordinary way,

I realized before my eyes,

The beauty of the day.

FOR even as our lives appear

Routine and yet, unchanged,

Each day will bring you something new

You then can rearrange.

AND as I welcome things anew,

And how they make me feel,

I smile and reach for mundane times

As these will keep life real.
