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.
