Begin the day with a quiet hour
Reserved for lighting candles in honor of the sun
A warm scent, a soft sigh
Make your bed, set the washer whirring
Send a heavenly smell of breakfast
throughout your home

Don’t overwhelm yourself
Don’t set yourself to grieving
A day lost, a mishap of your doing
Breeze through, keep on nurturing
Loving, smiling, hugging
throughout your home

Weed and tend your gardens
Loving every single plant
Feed, groom, and hug every
little child, furry or not
For that’s what they will remember
the most, in your home

Care for every friend that comes through
Care for your love, your soulmate, the most
Touch upon another quiet time
For soft thoughts, for writing,
For moments you breathe
Life into your home
