Any Ordinary Day
Did you fetch something off a shelf
For your independent self,
Something you might need or want?
Remember there are those who can’t
Have you recent seen a sight
Lifted your heart in delight,
Something beautiful or kind?
Remember those existing blind
Does it give you joy to hear
Voices of those you hold dear?
There are those who go bereft
Of all sounds, having heen born deaf
Happiness eligible?
Eminently romanceable?
Nature blessed you with the norm
Nor your face twist and deform?
Able dedicate unto
Labor better life bring to
Those you care for, those you love?
Those are blessings from above
Let thankfulness at your heart tug
Don’t go entitled, don’t go smug
Remember to keep in view
All that heaven’s granted you

Until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ and to begin once again to create professional connections and to rebuild her life, this poet presently lives homeless and at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level ~ still working seven days a week to contribute to her society, however.
