Talking By Phone On MLK Day

We talked by phone in the morning

You weren't sure what you might do

After you wolfed down your tacos

So many possibilities 

Maybe get some groceries

At a nearby store, probably

Since it was flurrying

You had the day off

Next day too

You didn't know if you'd try

Your new snow shoes

And look for a snowy hiking trail

Or not

We chatted, just dad and daughter

Agreeing yoga was terrific

Helping mindfulness

Strength, flexibility

I could tell you still had the sniffles

From your cold

But...

I thought as we hung up

I loved the way you sounded...

And...

Sometimes nothing seems impossible
