Each morning we awake
to a new day
a new opportunity
to open doors
close some
create new memories
rework others
May today
be brighter
gentler
less thorny
than the darker ones
the ones that I
– that we –
long to forget
I go to bed
some nights
filled with the need
to put the day
to rest
awake early
clamoring
for more from life
for less
for peace.
Go Team Peppers!
