Looking for the Good Parts
I try to look for the good parts -
the shimmer of Lake Michigan waves on a sunny fall day,
as they roll into the shore with grace and tenderness
the few trees that are beginning to change colors,
the first kisses of good-bye to summer
algae that makes the small lakes chartreuse green,
the occasional ripples that disrupt their stillness
the well-marked woodchipped paths that guide
through the silent forest, with flowers now past prime.
There is so much beauty in our world when we slow down
enough to pay attention to the good parts.
