A Little Bit of Whimsy

Hot Days

When the days are so hot,
that all you can think of
is cooling off, it's a wonder
that we cherish this life at all.

When the days are so hot,
that all you can think of
is a cold, very cold drink,
it's a wonder that we
remember the cold days
when we longed for
the hot days.

When the days are so hot,
that all you can think of
is sitting on the couch
with remote in hand
and your feet propped up,
it's a wonder that we
nourish relationships at all.

When the days are so hot,

that all you can think of
is staying indoors with the
fans blowing and the AC
working overtime, it's
a wonder we think of
going outdoors at all.

When the days are so hot
that all you can think of
is just longing for fall,
it's a wonder that our
hearts are grateful for
this life and its blessings.

Yes, it's a wonder that
we are so overwhelmed
by the small details
that we forget to
thank God for each day,
whether hot or cold.
