Morning Chats

Have it That Way

Oh, how I love our morning chats

with a little of this

and a lot of thats.

You drink your coffee

and I drink my hot tea

while we discuss all the what is'

and what ought to bes.

Nothing too serious and nothing too wry,

Nothing too stuffy or fluffy to cause us to cry.

Keeping it funny and keeping it real.

Way too early to be that spry...

Just a few simple words as we pass by.

And when the cups are complete

and we say "have a good day,"

we can go away smiling...

Oh, I like it that way!

    I especially needed this warm cup of love and upbeatness after reading your beautiful tribute to Jade Elizabeth. This has a fun and light feel to it, but underneath all that some real truths about what is important in life. Well done and thank you for sharing it!
