Today I Love My Red Front Door
A few years ago
we painted
our front door.
It used to be a
dull
boring
blue.
Now it is a
homey,
cranberryish,
Christmassy,
Memorial Day
and 4th of July
all
rolled
into
one
red.
It is the first thing
that catches my eye
as I near home
at the end of the day.
It beckons to me
and says things like,
'Ahhh, there you are',
and
'Where've you been?'
and
'I've been waiting
just for you'
to
come
home.
Tonight the spring
sunset
is setting the
red ablaze
and helping me
to remember that
even warmer days
are on the way.
It is warm
to the touch
and
I just want to
bask in its
reflected light.
