This Matters {Part 2}

This matters.

This day.

This moment.

Of pink boots on the wrong feet

with purple socks, capris,

and a sassy shirt.

This moment of blonde hair in her eyes.

And holding hands with chipped polish.

This matters.

Sunshine through fall leaves.

Climbing on cool rocks.

Sorting cottonwood, ash, elm and woodvine.

Scattering summer's flower seeds.

And smashing wood vine berries.

Just to see what it looks like inside.

This matters.

Right here.

Right now.

Fall leaves are here today and gone tomorrow . . .

just like this young robin

and a little sass-a-frass.

This moment matters.
