Maritime Mary: A New Day

I slept in a little, 

Woke with anticipation for 

Delicious hot coffee,

Newspaper. 

Read of weekend violence

And hardships in our world. 

Opened the drapes to a sunny day,

Siding on the house was creaking as 

The sun warmed it. 

All was bright,

Fresh, white, clean, untouched snow. 

So much beauty all around

Needing to be appreciated. 

Feeling so fortunate to live where

We can open the drapes to 

Peace.
