It is the way your car glides across the floor
…and the way we feel when we laugh
It is the way you put one Cheerio on each plate
…and the way we leave the mess at home.
It is the way the air is cool.
…and the way the sun kisses the clover.
It is the way our hair shimmers like copper.
…and the way the world spins around
It is the way we look up in wonder.
…and the way you grasp a pinecone
It is the way I hold you close on my back.
…and the way my hair blows across your face.
It is the way the garden looks after the rain
…and the way the fresh strawberries drip down your chin.
It is the way we are today,
…and the way a simple summer evening feeds our souls.
