Here's the good news:
Today was normal
And the sun rose.
There was a remarkable
Lack of storms
And there was mail
with kind words
In each envelope.
The cashier at the store
Gave you a smile
And the traffic was not
Jammed for an accident.
Planes landed without incident
And their jet streams
Spelled out nothing more
Than perpendicular lines.
Today your stomach was full
And your heart was light.
There were fresh apples
And you counted three dogs
On your way to work.
Everyone you love
Kept living.
You showered off
The mundane day
In silence, using the same
Shampoo that youve
Bought for years.
And you crawled into bed
Knowing that the schools
Were safe,
Animals were rescued,
And diseases were cured.
As you closed your eyes
You thought
Here's the good news:
Today was normal.
