Ordinary Time (11/2/21)

Missing the ordinary-
The normal-
The boring
Every day.

Get up-
Fill up my cup-
Kiss goodbye
Work for the day.

Come home-
Kiss hello-
How was your day?
Mine was so-so

Who did you see?
What did they say?
Dinner with the kids
Make sure school’s going okay.

Do dishes-
Walk the dogs-
My hand in your elbow
Strolling along.

We talk about everything-
Or nothing-
It doesn’t matter
Just happy together.

Come home-
Relax on the couch-
Or help with homework
Math is your realm.

The day is done-
Get ready for bed-
Good night kiss
Before “I love you” is said

We didn’t know it then-
But I know it now-
Wedded bliss is abundant
In ordinary time.
