The Saints of Little Things
Let us now praise
the saints of little things,
the cherished saints
of coffee and bright mornings,
hugs from children and grands,
the laughter of our friends,
leftover Halloween candy,
warm blankets fresh from the dryer,
contented purrs from contented cats,
rolly puppies and happy dogs,
songs sang loudly slightly off-key
old TV shows streaming all seasons,
worn jeans and comfortable shoes,
blue skies during the day,
nights filled with stars—
your sweet kiss on my lips.
