I Promise.
I will surround myself with soft things,
Especially rainbow-colored sweaters.
I will buy myself rain-boots with polka-dots on them
And jump in every puddle I come across.
I will drink hot cocoa that's mostly marshmallows.
I will eat salads and fresh vegetables.
I will buy the chocolate milk even though it's 65 Cents more.
I will clean the house with a comedy or a podcast or a Greek
Philosopher, or whatever the hell I want
Playing in the background.
I will laugh, a lot.
I will hug my dog, and not be sorry when I can't stop sneezing.
I will make snow-angels in the winter.
I will watch wildlife documentaries when I can't sleep
And I will cry when the animals die.
I will dance at 4 in the morning singing
We Are the Princes Of the Universe.
I will put on my favorite pair of shoes, with the mismatched laces,
And walk until my feet get sore, then turn back.
I will spend my money how I please because I earned it,
But I will be the only one I can blame when all the
Stuffed animals I bought are hogging my blankets.
