I'm Thankful For These Souvenirs Of You
Small Little Things Left Over
Still Reminding Me To Slow Down
If Just For A Few
To Be Present
With These Souvenir Memories Of You
I was putting on a sweater the other day that I hadn't worn in a while and surprise surprise, it was covered in cat hair. My initial response was irritation, but such is the life with pets. As quick as it came, I replaced the feeling with love and warmth.
For everyone who is still finding little mementos in their life, let's take just a moment to appreciate them. Even if it's sad in this moment. Join us if you'd like some company.
