YES by William Stafford



It could happen any time, tornado,
earthquake, Armageddon. It could happen.
Or sunshine, love, salvation.
It could you know. That's why we wake
and look out--no guarantees
in this life.
But some bonuses, like morning,
like right now, like noon,
like evening.

I love the coming of because we receive daily "bonuses" if we are watching carefully. Here in New England, the sap is dripping, the first robin, redwing, ducks, and geese have appeared. The smells of Earth have returned, the chickadees have changed to their spring song. The sun through the window is WARM!
